Halloween Party at Ola: The Photos

Ola's theme for this year's Halloween Party was "The 80's." Boy George, Michael Jackson, Madonna, MC Hammer, even an 80's Drag Queen (we nick-named her Priscilla. And, YES!, it's a HER!). What else could you ask for? Well... a red-Afroed Brazilian, a London bobby, a Mexican wrestler, a cowboy, Kamen Rider, a family of Transformers, a big-headed Death, lots of long legs in short, red mini skirts, witches, zombies, and a Big Mac with a large Coke to go! A good time was had by all!

Change = Transform

The above poster of Barack Obama (on the left) became very famous when he was campaigning to be President back in 2008. Recently, I found this parody poster (on the right). "To change" means "to transform." The robot in the poster is Optimus Prime, leader of the good Transformers.

I found the poster while I was researching this year's Halloween costumes for my family & I. This year we are...

Arcee, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime

Our costumes had their first outing last Sunday at...
the Be & Me 英会話 Club Halloween Picnic for kids

We're planning to make an appearance again this Saturday night, October 29th, at the Ola Halloween Party in Shinsaibashi, Osaka.
