There are few yearly events we love more than Halloweekend, as evidenced by the fun we had with LoveCat Magazine, at LACMA's Tim Burton-inspired party, and with Chelsea Handler at the Standard's Sinners and Saints soiree all last week. And we couldn't think of any better way to lift our spirits – that is, until we were informed that in Sweden, Halloween comes as a week-long holiday package. Yes...a week! Our list of reasons why we love being Swedish just got longer, friends.
So if you think this post is no longer timely or relevant, well, you would be wrong. We spent last Thursday in costume yet again for the Marc by Marc Jacobs Halloween party at the Djingis Khan Mongolian Barbeque restaurant. Along with Marc by Marc, we teamed up with Freshnet and IBEYOSTUDIO to throw an animal-themed rager that got a little wild, to say the least. To really get in theme, we cleared out all the furniture and transformed the Barbeque spot into an animal house for a night – you know, since we're keen on making as much room for people to enjoy themselves as possible. This included moving a 1,000 pound serving station that took eight of the strongest guys we could find to lift. Yes, eight. Guests unleashed their own Halloween spirit by picking up masks at the Marc by Marc Jacobs store before the night got underway, while others created their own wildlife-inspired costumes. As far as the cocktails? We had three on hand for the tasting, including our famous Cucumber Lemonade. Here's a look at the night in photos. We're thinking it's about time the U.S. embraced Halloweek too.
