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

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

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

Gay dude book-ends.

At least they were quiet...

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

Gratuitous street scene, taken before it got crowded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A couple of vampires. Classy and not overdone.

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.

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

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

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

Skeleton guys on motorcycles always get the chicks.

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

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

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

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

Halloween! Even old people can participate!

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

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Pirates. With Daiquiris.

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

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

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

Dude? Richard Simmons? Seriously?

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

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

Halloween 2009 in New Orleans

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?

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