People of Walmart Party View Comments

The highlight of my weekend was most definitely the People of Walmart party on Friday night at the Tin Can (Morgan Ford).  The premise of the party was simple — pick a photo from peopleofwalmart.com and dress like that customer.  They judged all the costumes at midnight and gave prizes to first, second, and third.

These were our costumes:

All I had to find was a flannel shirt (which I bought at Walmart) and then the rest was easy.  I drew the tattoo on my chest with eyeliner and black face paint, then cut up my 80’s wig from Halloween into a mullet.  I dyed the bottom of the mullet in a bowl of water mixed with black face paint.

As for Zack’s costume, we found the shirt at Target and used white fabric paint and a stencil to add the words “I Brought Sexy Back.”  Then he used my black business coat, cut off an old pair of jeans, and added a cell phone clip.  His hair is actually what I cut off of my wig to make the mullet!

There weren’t too many people dressed up (maybe 10-15), but there were plenty of people at Tin Can, which made for a pretty interesting time.  Most people spent the night staring at us or asking why we were dressed up.  Some of the costumes were really good, I recognized them immediately when I walked in!  Check out the “Born to Kill” one below.

At the end of the night, JEFF GALLOW, THE BEST BARTENDER EVER*, made the announcement who won.  Zack and I ended up taking 2nd place.  Woohoo!  In our prize bag was a Bumpit, a pair of rip-off Crocs, and a bottle of Easy Cheez!  Some of the other prizes were a snuggie, car freshener, and a bible coloring book.

I’ve done my best below to match the costume with the actual customer picture.  If I made a mistake or don’t have yours, please let me know in the comment section.

He won.  He took it to another level by wearing a dress and fake boobs.  Would have been better if he found a red fur coat and fake gap teeth.

I’m not sure who these guys were, but the one on the right said he was Allison from Intervention.  Funny, but wrong party (even though she probably buys her duster at Walmart).

And look! There was even someone dressed up like me!

Thanks to Tin Can and Eric and Laurie for putting this party together.  I can’t wait for the next one!
