iWon and iLost

Last night was Halloween! And what made the night great was that Wilma and Andrew came up from LA for the weekend and we tore it up out on the town. I stayed dressed as Rod Lanceshaft but I made one modification to the costume. I stuffed a HUGE dildo down my red polyester pants to add that extra touch that really puts the "rod" in my persona's name.

We started the night with cocktails and Chinese food at my place and then we headed over to the Polk Street area of bars. I mean - what better place to be dressed as a 70s pornstar - the gay mecca in the 70s. We met up with a big group of friends at the Lush Lounge and had a few drinks there but then we went to the Cinch Saloon. It was packed. While at the lush lounge, Matt Duke decided to put on my wig and show us his many looks. Fierce - every single one of them! One of them is Katie Holmes, aka Dead Eyes. Can you pick out which one is Katie?

We were having a really good time and then all of a sudden they interrupted everyone to introduce a costume contest. My friends insisted that I enter so I went up on stage and the crowd roared... thanks mostly to my group of friends who screamed their heads off. I was on stage with about 12 contestants - and in fact many of the costumes were pretty good. One of the bar staff helping with the contest was dressed PERFECTLY as Patsy Stone... so good...

They then had each of us come to the front of the stage and have the crowd applause/scream for their favorites. After everyone had their moment, they narrowed it down to 3 finalists - a guy dressed as Edward Scissorhands, another guy not in a costume but just had a fake rubber wound on his neck (WTF?), and Rod Lanceshaft.

They had the audience go through another round of applause to determine the winner. And even though my group of friends screamed their bloody heads off, alas, Edward Scissorhands won, but I came in 2nd place and won $75 cash. Pretty awesome!

Oh - and then when I came off the stage, I went to get my iPhone that I put on a ledge (so it wasn't ruining the "lines" of my polyester pants) and it was GONE. So that $75 win is going to cost me $200 for a new iPhone.

All in all, we had a super fun time - and I'm paying for it this morning - figuratively and literally. Oh and somewhere in between the bar, the cab, and my house, the wig is missing. Damn!
