A cat, some Ivy, a pink wig, a rooftop, some hotel rooms, Greygoose...did someone say HALLOWEEN???

The night began much like any other night in NYC...I finished up at work at 8pm & hurried to the train station to get uptown and transform myself into a HOT HALLOWEEN CAT.

Eloise joined me so we could get ready together & polish of our usual bottle of Oyster Bay...yes my local bottle-o stocks Oyster Bay, and I have already told the owner he may need to order another batch ;)

After we got ready, into a yellow cab we hopped. It was absolutely FREEZING in our itty bitty costumes, and there was no way we were catching the train!

Our night began at a house party in the Village, and as soon as Clare met us, we headed to Soho House on a friends membership.

Me as Sexy Cat Woman, Eloise as Poison Ivy, and Clare as a white Nicki Minaj! (I am yet to learn her identity)

We decided to start on the rooftop where the Carnivale party was happening. After sussing it out and the drinks line taking way too long for our liking, we headed down the fire stairs to the next level....MARDI GRAS!!! Once again too many people, and no hope of getting any drinks fast enough. So we went down one more level until we hit the hotel rooms. People were standing in the corridors inviting us in to their rooms. When in New York right? It was absolutely hilarious.

As we entered the first room we found copious unopened bottles of Greygoose...how on earth they knew my drink of choice, I will never know! The atmosphere here was strange so we tried another room around the corner. And this is where the shenanigans happened; Eloise found herself a Poison Ivy twin, Clare ran straight to the bathroom for a photo shoot with randoms to send to her man, and I was obsessed with a Joker! Such a hilarious random moment!

Once we were done, we attempted to exit the fire stairs that were now completely jammed...that was until someone pulled the fire alarm! HAHA!!! Out and free at last!

Once finally out on the street Clare proclaimed with one hand out 'attempting' to hail a taxi that "I refuse to go home just yet." With a slight roll of the eyes from an already 'over it' Eloise and myself, we marched on through the Meatpacking to find a taxi. Toughest challenge of our lives!

The remainder of the night was spent catching cars uptown, and then downtown, running in bare feet on Fifth Ave, and having a faux relationship with Eloise to get the boys off of her.

All in all....AMAZING HALLOWEEN!
