Tricks and Treats in New Orleans

2009-11-08T11:15:00.000-08:00

So that's where Nicky was getting all of those beads from...

2009-11-08T11:14:00.000-08:00

Two trashy hot girls lurking in the alley...now that works for me even when it's not Halloween.

2009-11-08T11:09:00.000-08:00

Wow--I didn't even know "The Sound of Music" was in town.

2009-11-08T11:08:00.000-08:00

This shot reminds me...Johnny White's really needs to get their old band back. The current one is just dead.

2009-11-08T11:07:00.000-08:00

This is how they pick up women in the gay block.

2009-11-08T11:05:00.000-08:00

Frankenstein and Mrs. Stein. Call me Old School, but I'm liking this one.

2009-11-08T11:03:00.000-08:00

Run fast! That's a guy!And as a last resort, throw him a zombie and tell him to "say cheese".

2009-11-08T11:01:00.000-08:00

Matching weird guys!

2009-11-08T10:59:00.000-08:00

His glazed eyes and vacant stare suggest that he's about as fucked up as a football bat. And it's not even Eight O'Clock yet. Pathetic...

2009-11-08T10:57:00.000-08:00

Dude--first off, I think that's a chick's outfit. Secondly, way to make sure that no one can see past you. You must have been real popular on the streetcar.

2009-11-08T10:56:00.000-08:00

OK, WTF?! Even without the nun, that's just wrong.

2009-11-08T08:43:00.000-08:00

Two homicidal clowns and Sharon Osbourne?

2009-11-08T08:42:00.000-08:00

Dick Tracy drinking with a cowboy.

2009-11-08T08:41:00.000-08:00

The costumes are interesting if non-specific, but they're drinking, and that's the important part.

2009-11-08T08:38:00.000-08:00

Hey look--Indians. With a blonde scalp. And cans of Bud Light.

2009-11-06T13:51:00.000-08:00

What the Hell are you pointing at? I'm not the one pretending to be something out of a children's story.

2009-11-06T13:50:00.000-08:00

Cajun Cabin. Great place.

2009-11-06T13:48:00.000-08:00

Admittedly not much of a costume, but she still looks good in it. A bit more enthusiasm would have been better, though.

2009-11-06T13:47:00.000-08:00

Her hotness almost cancels out her boyfriend's dorkiness. A dog suit? Seriously?

2009-11-06T13:46:00.000-08:00

The most memorable thing about this gal was that I ran into her in a bar in the Marigny the next morning...and she was still in costume!

2009-11-06T13:44:00.000-08:00

Damn! All these Superheroines...Next year I've gotta be Lex Luthor or the Joker.

2009-11-06T13:40:00.000-08:00

Ladies...FYI for next year...Skin is in. And Slimfast for a few weeks beforehand is never a bad idea.

2009-11-06T13:38:00.000-08:00

Not sure what headband girl is supposed to be, but they both still meet with my approval so it's all good.

2009-11-06T13:36:00.000-08:00

Sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy the scenery. I'm thinking that this is one of those times.

2009-11-06T13:35:00.000-08:00

If she's rich and mute, she could well be my dream girl.

2009-11-06T13:33:00.000-08:00

Red here proves that hanging out with an ugly friend only makes you look that much hotter.

2009-11-06T13:30:00.002-08:00

Where's Waldo? I got yer fucking Waldo right here...in fact, here's a lifetime supply of Waldoes!These Asian kids really know how to let it all hang out, don't they?

2009-11-06T13:30:00.001-08:00

Well hello there!

2009-11-06T13:29:00.000-08:00

I really just wanted a shot of the Bourbon Street sign, but blue-haired mermaids are kinds cool too.

2009-11-06T13:28:00.000-08:00

Whatever...

2009-11-06T13:24:00.000-08:00

Looks like Raggedy Ann finally ditched her pathetic boyfriend...either that or she sent him to the store to buy her some feminine hygiene products while she's hanging out with this bumble bee. (He's not even in this pic and he's still a loser...) But the jail inmate in the background seems to be taking care of business.

2009-11-06T13:22:00.000-08:00

This girl was voted "most likely to go home alone". A year to plan and a carton of milk was the best idea you could come up with? What's wrong with lingerie and a mask like the cool girls are all wearing?

2009-11-06T13:21:00.000-08:00

Freddie Kruger and...Dennis Rodman?

2009-11-06T02:29:00.000-08:00

Again, some people look waaay too comfortable in their costumes to claim that they only dress like this once a year.

2009-11-06T02:27:00.000-08:00

Not really sexy--just photographed because she was trashed and getting ready to barf and it wasn't even 9pm yet. Some people...

2009-11-06T02:26:00.000-08:00

That had to be one hell of a catfight. Anyone got the video?

2009-11-06T02:21:00.000-08:00

A ghostbuster and something sliver. Not sure what, but last time I saw that much mylar, it came with a Goodyear logo on it and it was hovering over the ball game. And the hippies were way too clean to be real hippies.

2009-11-06T02:17:00.000-08:00

Pogo the clown, aka: John Wayne Gacy. Yeah, that's not creepy. I'm guessing the costume shop must have been out of Hitler mustaches.

2009-11-06T02:14:00.000-08:00

WTF was that x3?

2009-11-06T02:12:00.000-08:00

Cute and enthusiastic, but clearly has no idea how that mask is supposed to work.

2009-11-06T02:10:00.000-08:00

"Look out below!" Pirates on the balcony are tossing lots of stuff down.

2009-11-06T02:08:00.000-08:00

Freaks and Fairies...someone tell the chick in the shirt dress to turn around so we can check her out.

2009-11-06T02:05:00.000-08:00

Alcohol: It makes ugly chicks think that people want to see them topless. And this one just kept turning up everywhere we went. Did I do something bad in a past life?

2009-11-06T02:02:00.000-08:00

Something tells me're not in Kansas anymore, Toto.

2009-11-05T17:58:00.000-08:00

Some things are so hot that they don't even need captioning.

2009-11-05T17:56:00.000-08:00

The first two are decent. The guy in scrubs is just lame.

2009-11-05T17:53:00.002-08:00

Ya know, if I was Catholic, I'd be offended by this. But I'm not, so it's pretty good. The Huge Ass Beer is a nice touch.

2009-11-05T17:53:00.001-08:00

Just...YEAH!!!

2009-11-05T17:49:00.000-08:00

This guy has to be the most pussy-whipped guy on the planet. She probably makes him take her to Indigo Girls concerts, too.

2009-11-05T17:48:00.000-08:00

Well that sure was nice of Elvira to take her mom out and buy her a Hand Grenade.

2009-11-05T17:46:00.002-08:00

Here we have a devil, a clown, and a random lost guy looking for his 12-step sponsor.

2009-11-05T17:46:00.001-08:00

Gay dude book-ends.

2009-11-05T17:45:00.000-08:00

At least they were quiet...

2009-11-05T17:44:00.000-08:00

I gotta admit...it's not every day that Dead Elvis offers me a beer.

2009-11-05T17:42:00.000-08:00

Gratuitous street scene, taken before it got crowded.

2009-11-05T17:40:00.000-08:00

OK, that explains why I just saw Macaulay Culkin run by screaming...

2009-11-05T17:37:00.000-08:00

Exhibits #1, #2 and #3 illustrating why it's good to be the Pirate King. (with apologies to Messrs. Gilbert and Sullivan.)

2009-11-05T17:36:00.000-08:00

Two more gutter punks. But at least they're making a partial effort.

2009-11-05T17:34:00.000-08:00

This is either a guy with a live lizard as a hat, or a lizard with a HUGE schwang.

2009-11-05T17:32:00.000-08:00

Just two matching gay guys lifting random hefty women. In other words, business as usual on the downriver side of St. Ann.

2009-11-05T17:31:00.000-08:00

She's looking pretty good, but someone needs to tell clown-boy that those socks don't match that dress.

2009-11-05T17:29:00.000-08:00

Get the fuck outta here! Those costumes are gayer than the Clover Grill in the background.

2009-11-05T17:28:00.000-08:00

A couple of vampires. Classy and not overdone.

2009-11-05T17:26:00.000-08:00

This one would not be noteworthy except for the fact that I think it's a dude. I'm also pretty sure that he doesn't just dress like this one night out of the year.

2009-11-05T17:25:00.000-08:00

OK, I'm guessing these two represent "large" and "medium"...but where's "small"?

2009-11-05T17:24:00.000-08:00

Sorry folks-these aren't costumes. Those are real New Orleans gutter punks.

2009-11-05T17:23:00.000-08:00

Why do I get the feeling that there was a break-in at the wax museum?

2009-11-05T17:22:00.001-08:00

Skeleton guys on motorcycles always get the chicks.

2009-11-05T17:20:00.000-08:00

After watching this one stagger down the sidewalk, I'm thinking that's not a costume.

2009-11-05T17:19:00.000-08:00

Props to these two. It's original, they match and they put some work into it.

2009-11-05T17:18:00.000-08:00

Dude--get your florescent purple pimp suit outta the way--you're blocking the view!

2009-11-05T17:16:00.000-08:00

What the Hell? At least she's cute and looks friendly.

2009-11-05T17:09:00.005-08:00

Halloween! Even old people can participate!

2009-11-05T17:09:00.003-08:00

A roller derby girl talks to a seven-foot Bigfoot while a nun poses for pictures. Just another night on Bourbon Street.

2009-11-05T17:09:00.001-08:00

No, it's not two zombies. The one on the right is "Reagan" from The Exorcist. She got mad when I complimented her on her zombie look.
So I complimented her on accurately portraying Linda Blair's weight gain, and she got mad again. There's just no pleasing some women.

2009-11-05T17:08:00.003-08:00

And because everyone knows that Lifeguards always wear stripper boots...

2009-11-05T17:08:00.001-08:00

And here we have a fairy...with a halo...and vampire teeth...and red contacts. Random, but it works for me.

2009-11-05T17:07:00.000-08:00

Yeah, another naughty nurse, but will someone explain to me how a gal that hot always seems to wind up with doofy boyfriends like that one?

2009-11-05T16:54:00.001-08:00

This is probably a violation of the Motor Vehicle Code, but he looks cool and it's Halloween, (and I've been drinking) so I'm ok with it.

2009-11-05T16:53:00.005-08:00

Putting the "Ho" in "Yo, ho, ho"...

2009-11-05T16:53:00.003-08:00

Whatever it is, it's original...and she wouldn't let me pass until I took her picture.

2009-11-05T16:53:00.001-08:00

Dilbert! Fella, you get mad props for that one, even if you aren't a hot chick.

2009-11-05T16:52:00.005-08:00

A Maid and a Nurse. And what a coincidence, but I could use one of each around my house--especially these two.

2009-11-05T16:52:00.003-08:00

Gee, guess who couldn't find a "Harry Potter" costume at the last minute.

2009-11-05T16:52:00.001-08:00

I don't know what her costume is supposed to be...but I know that I go to New Orleans to see girls dressed like this.

2009-11-05T16:51:00.005-08:00

OK...we have a magician, a fat rabbit, a girl with her back to us, a "Phantom of the Opera" guy, and a pig in a lab coat. Oh--and a bum who is probably a real bum.

2009-11-05T16:51:00.003-08:00

Not sure what these two are supposed to be, but they seem to like each other and they're drinking Hand Grenades.

2009-11-05T16:51:00.001-08:00

Pirates. With Daiquiris.

2009-11-05T16:50:00.003-08:00

Hey look! It's the guy from "Scream".

2009-11-05T16:50:00.001-08:00

Three good reasons why you should always keep an eye on the balconies.

2009-11-05T16:49:00.002-08:00

Ow! Ow! Ow! This one hurt my eyes! And get that Richard Simmons guy back over here!

2009-11-05T16:49:00.001-08:00

Dude? Richard Simmons? Seriously?

2009-11-05T16:48:00.000-08:00

Let's see...a devil nurse, and a... OK, I'm not sure. But she's hot enough that I don't really care.

2009-11-05T16:43:00.000-08:00

These guys get the first "WTF?" award. It's still not even Halloween yet!

Halloween 2009 in New Orleans

2009-11-04T14:33:00.000-08:00

It wasn't even Halloween night yet and the zombies were out in a pack on Bourbon Street.

Obviously, zombies don't have calendars.

This zombie seems to have just come from her prom...and been hit by a bus.

Or maybe she was a bridesmaid for her friend here:
Kind of makes you think about that "til death do you part..." thing, eh?

2009-11-04T13:53:00.000-08:00

I should probably have excluded this one for lack of a costume, but no way...just no way!
