Went down monday night for Fantasy Fest w Dan. Met up with Catie and Liz, then later Brandy, her sister and roommate Tara came and met up with us. For all of you who don't know what fantasy fest is, you're missing out! It's pretty much like a Key West version of Mardi Gras and halloween mixed together. If you had to describe it in a few words "Bodypaint, Drinking, Costumes, Craziness, and Dancing" would be the best ones I could think of.
So, Monday night my costume was like a goddess kind of, I had gold fabric around my top and bottom, wide fishnet thigh highs, heels and purple flowers and vines airbrushed onto me. We went downtown to random places, like Burbon St., Fat Tuesday, and a few others.
Tuesday in the day we walked around and did some shopping, hung out by the pool and worked on our tans. We got rehydrated and fed at a place that had a similar look to no name Pub in Big pine Key, with the dollar bills all on the walls. Got a delish burger and an Octoberfest.
Tuesday night we went and walked to Mallory Square, saw part of a cat show, and watched the sunset. That night there was a green party, and a Tutu Party (along with wild west themed events as well). I wore leopard tights, green panties over them, a tutu (multipurpose so I was dressed for both parties in one night), a tiara, glitter, beads, etc. The Tutu party was cool,. You had to wear one in order to be let in. Dan and I walked past a Claire's and so we ran in and got them so we could attend. We danced a lot, and also went to some random bars along the way to dance and mingle. At the end Liz,Catie, and I were at a country themed party for a bit too. Also, Chels and Brian were with us that night.
Wednesday in the day again we did some walking aruond on Duval St. We all got Denny's in the morning, then met up with Chelsea and Brian again. Dan and I ventured to the beach and layed out and took a 2 hour nap (well, I did...Dan not really).
Wednesday night, Dan and I went out with our friend Quinton to a red party at Foggarty's. I had glowsticks encorporated into my costume this time, along w tights that reminded me of the joker- diamonds, and everyother one had the middle filled in as the design, red bottoms, a glow stick belt/mini hula hoop, and glowsticks in my shoes too. My makeup had rhinestones and looked kind of like an arrow pointing across my face. We checked out the bubble afterparty, that I had been dying to go to, only to find out that it totally wasn't as good as I had expected it to be- very few people, a bubble machine in the corner, and random music. No one really was dressed in costume either. Very disappointing. Good thing I didn't go through a costume change like I originally thought was going to be my plan in the beginning!! We stayed out until 4:30 (like pretty much all the nights).
Thursday we had a lazy Key West day at Quniton's, went to lunch at Kahoots, then hit the road for the trip back to KL.
Friday at work was our Haunted Trail (like a hunted house deal). Liz and I had the 3rd station. I was a crazy cook and she was half dead on the table with her insides all over, and there was a feast on the table (bread, Crown Royal, Grapes, Wine, body parts..you know- the usual for a renaissance feast. We switched it up every few times, but in general I was the crazy cook, who when I smelled blood would butcher and eat you. Liz was the poor victim, and Rachel was a crazy in the background, and then as the night progressed pretended to be trying to fix Liz when she was on the table bc it was her 'friend' and then I came and chased her away. Becuase food was involved in our station it got very sticky, but we had a good time, and definitely grossed out and scared more people than not. We had about 400 people go through the trail that night.
When it came to cleanup, a lot of people helped, and half way through it started the infamous keys monsoon rain. Absolutley drenched- everyone. Fun though, and all the fluorescent orange and blacklight spray was out of my hair about 5 minutes into the rain so our showers after picking up were super short.
That night, a few people came over to hang out then we went to the wreck hall for a bit.
