An Amy Winehouse Fairy Tale

I had an absolute blast this Halloween. While many of my friends were creating fantastic family themes for themselves, their husbands and children, Mr. BBM and I just didn't have it in us to create a wholesome family costume theme this year. We got an idea and we just thought it would be best if the girls did their own thing. . .

I present to you, an Amy Winehouse Halloween Fairy Tale Photo Book (with thoughtful interruptions from BBM)…

You didn't realize Amy Winehouse was the mother of Hermione and Minney Mouse, did you?

(What was I going to do? Make Sassy my microphone and Big I my travel bottle of liquor? Obviously, this wasn't going to work as a family theme. . . but it could work as a couples theme. . . )

Amy was thirsty.

Just in case the previous pictures are too small to see, you wouldn't want to miss this part of Amy. . .

(I am normally sporting a non-hockey-player-like smile. Not tonight. . . )

We arrived at the party and most children were afraid of Amy. Who wouldn't be afraid of a beehive wearing British talking girl wearing crazy borrowed shoes that made her about 6'4"? Who could really blame them?

After getting a bite to eat and sampling some "witches brew," some people decided that it was time for an Amy Winehouse intervention…

Amy was grateful for the entire sack of coffee. She wasn't really expecting Juan Valdez to sober her up, but he was there too. He is a super good dancer as is his coffee. You'll also notice Amy's close encounter with the grim reaper. He was scary dude, and the point really hit home for Amy. . .
