Last night, I went to a big Halloween party that was attended by several of my coworkers. I went as Monica. This was the first time my coworkers had seen me dressed and it was a lot of fun. I arrived around 930pm and the event, which was held at a very fancy and large house, was packed. My theme was 80s rock chick, so I went all out. Full body shaping gear, breast plate, shaved legs with shimmery hose, 5" pumps, spandex mini dress, heavy makeup, and a Joan Jett style black wig with fabulous bangs. It was cold out but my adrenaline was on 11 so I didn't even bother to wear a coat. When I first arrived, no one recognized me. I walked up to two coworkers and said hello. They smiled but had no clue. I then addressed one by name and her mouth just dropped when she realized who I was. She was a bit shocked but then proceeded to walk me around the space, loudly announcing to everyone from work that it was "me". I got plenty of rave reviews (mosty women) and more than a few snarky comments (from men) about how this was clearly much more than a Halloween costume. After two drinks, I was feeling pretty bold and told anyone who asked that this was my alter ego, something I was quite proud of. Overall, the response was positive and nice. After the first 45 minutes or so, the novelty subsided and it was just me and my people enjoying a night out with drinks and conversations and dancing. It was a good night. Now, we will see what the feedback is tomorrow in the office.
