Halloween: The Bey Everyone Wanted to See

This was my first halloween in NYC that I dressed up in costume and went out to party with the local crazies. I must say it was a lot less hectic than I thought it would be although all across the city every MJ, Prince and Snow White were out running in the streets. I decided to go all out and dress as Beyonce from the Single Ladies video.  A simple enough costume to put together but somewhat daring and risque to wear out into the big apple night. I knew that if I was going to do the look I had to go all the way with it! Cue the hair extensions, shimmery tights and shoulder pads. I did a complete transformation and look almost identical to Bey.


All of the places that I hit up immediately knew who I was and absolutely loved my outfit. I went to Eva Marcille's birthday party and there the DJ turned on the song and I did an impromtu concert for the entire party. Cameras were flashing everywhere and so many people took photos of me and with me. I wasn't sure who most of them were or where they were going to wind up until a friend of mine spotted me on Stuff Fly People Like. All in all it was a great night out with friends in a city I love. Now the only thing left to do is start thinking of a costume for next year. I must say that I thought I was going to see more people dressed like Beyonce but I personally saw none. As a matter of fact I didn't see many Lady Gaga's or Rhianna's either. I guess the days of dressing like a female popstar went out of the window with Madonna and Cher.
