Red Carpet Debut

One of the perks about living here in the town of George the Saint is that Ammon's best friend from high school lives here.

 

Ammon's best friend who may also be the manager of the movie theatres here.

 

Don't get me wrong, we love him for him  and his cute wife, but... let's be reals. 

 I know you are thinking it... it does mean the occasional free movie! And for us, who went to 2 movies the last 2 years, it's so fun.

 

Not only does this mean we get the hook up when it comes to movies,

but it also means we don't spend 'Oscar Sunday Night' at home, alone, eating hot dogs, and completely forgetting that the Oscars are even on. . .

Oh No No No,

We spend the night at an 'Oscar Party!'

In style. 

On the Red Carpet.

Costumes of our favorite actor required!  

 

Costumes?  And a party?

Malufaus in! 

 

The Malufau Cast:::

Surprise Surprise,

Scout opted to be a princess:

Snow White of course.

With Mirror Mirror, Snow White and The Huntsman, and Once Upon a Time...

Totally Appropriate. 

Way to go Snow.

 

Also no surprise,

Just like Scout needs little reason or encouragement to bring out a princess dress,

Ammon needs little reason or encouragement to bring out his pilot hat and goggles.

 

Maverick and his wing man Goose.
And Porter needs little encouragement to wear some avaitor glasses.
 

(Shout out to Brandon and Michiko... pretty sure they bought Ammon's hat and goggles, and also Porter's wingman shirt... what would we do without them supplying our airplane paraphernalia?)
 

Everyone notice Ammon's patches. They took him an hour,which made us an hour late to the party.  Totally worth it though, right Ammon?

 

And Me...

Good question.

I thought long and hard,

Snow White Evil Queen? Scratch.  No way I have a fancy dress.

Top Gun's girly friend?  Nope.  My hair's not frizzy enough, and off the shoulder leather jacket not too cute with undies hanging out.

Fantine from Les Mes?  Can't shave my head.

 

Only leaves one option:

Khaki pants, grass in hair, homemade bow and arrow, and Porter's stuffed animals hanging from my leather belt.  Minus the awesome long side braid:

Ahhhh Katniss Everdeen!

 

Well, I thought it was a great idea until Erin (the host) opened the door ...

Whoops.  Twinners!

We all know that 2 Katnisses are always better than one. Right?  (One for Gale, One for Peeta)

 

It's alright. My bow is better (kidding!)

But her braid is better (not kidding)

 

And Jesse was hard core rock'n James Bond

 (until Porter stole his gun, and wouldn't give it back all night)

 

And of course, there were enough princesses to go around:

                  I guess it only takes one party for us to be completely converted to Oscar Parties!

You can't go wrong with yummy food, costumes, fancy movie theater Carmel apples, and even a competition to see who guessed who would win (with 10 movie tickets as a prize.  Yes.  I said TEN!).

It. Was. Awesome.

I will even admit that I may have encouraged Ammon a bit to cheat so we could win the tickets     (Shoo-oot. for 10 tickets, you lie! Totally worth your integrity)

Unfortuntely, my hubby is more honest than I am, and we had to settle for a tie, and came home with 5 tickets.  Still awesome.

 Now we just need a babysitter.

Anyone?. . . Anyone?. . . .

Well, our rag-muffin bunch may not quite be red carpet worthy, but we still had fun doing it.

Until next year's Oscars. . .
