Halloween In West Hollywood: The Best Costumes Of 2010

Besides superheroes, women in lingerie, and classic monsters like Dracula, Halloween costumes are a good way to gauge the best and worst of the year. At the West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval, there were Chilean Miners, Steven Slater (disgruntled Jet Blue employee), Jimi Heselden (deceased owner of Segway Inc.), Lady Gagas galore, Antoine Dodson (of the "Bed Intruder" song) Tea Party protestors, LeBron James, a gaggle of food trucks, the Na'vi of Avatar, and lots of lace. The air was filled with the scent of bacon-wrapped hot dogs, beer, and premature celebrations of Proposition 19's passage.

The West Hollywood Carnaval also celebrated the 35th anniversary of the Rocky Horror Picture Show with a coordinated Time Warp dance at 10:45pm to close out the celebration. After being assured by event planners that the revelers had indeed broken the world record for the largest Time Warp dance, the music shut off promptly at 11pm as promised. Playboy bunnies, pirates, cavemen, and witches trudged back to their cars along Santa Monica Boulevard, but some lingered on at restaurants like Mexico and Hamburger Mary's to keep the party going.

Your first photo, "The girl was beautiful", is correct, but the photo you have posted is bad.
What you also fail to note was that she was in a wheel chair. She had an equally lovely
companion also a wheel chair and a guy friend dressed in a torturer outfit helping push her along
when needed.

This is what I miss about not living in WeHo anymore. The traffic and rent I can do without, but the halloween parade was great.

So glad the West Hollywood Halloween thing is over - now hopefully the city can get started on cleaning up the urine, vomit, trash and feces - thanks everyone for visiting - may we get to do the same to your neighborhood someday!

Anyone have a link to more photos? There are usually thousands of people at this event in the most elaborate studio costumes you've ever seen (not pictured here).

I am confused. Was this a special event in WeHo or just people getting ready to attend a City Council meeting?

West Hollywood isn't what is used to be. I saw better costumes at my local bar.

Chilean miner is kind of inspired.......

Same costume was on David Letterman show several days earlier. Still clever but possibly not "inspired" having already been seen on national television.
