Even though the first party was completed, the mansion was cleaned, and the stories had finally died down we were planning on our next big party. Thanksgiving.
A large grocery chain wanted to throw a Thanksgiving themed party. They had 80 men and women on their list. Julie and Di were the most excited. They had dozens of crazy ideas.
Body paint on nude bodies was such a hit it was going to occur at every party from now on. After the Halloween party I showered for over an hour scrubbing the paint off. Days later I was still finding some here and there. I can only imagine how long it would take to finally peel off entirely.
Amy and Sloan were busy talking about their real Halloween experience. October 30th was the party at the mansion. But Amy and Sloan dressed up again to go trick or treating with my 8-year-old brother Matthew on October 31st. Technically all the women and Jimmy dressed up again and went except Mercedes and Naomi.
Amy was "the Joker", Sloan was "The Riddler", Brie was "Hawk woman", Di was "Batgirl", Amber was "Wonder Woman", Julie was "The Martian Man Hunter", Jimmy was a tiny "Superman", and I went as "Robin." Matthew was dressed as Batman carrying his orange jack-o-lantern bucket as we all followed him around trick or treating. Matthew had begged my parents to allow "his sisters Amy and Sloan" to go trick or treating with him instead of his boring, old, parents. Amy and Sloan were so excited they roped in the other girls to go. Matthew was the biggest hit of every house with 8 people in tow dressed in the same theme. He ran into many friends from school, and they loved the group. I believed Matthew would not stop talking about it for a year at least.
Amy and Sloan prepared their costumes. Sloan would be a puritan colonist with a black suit, white large collar, black hat like a top hat, and talk socks all in body paint. She would carry a toy shotgun shooting at Amy. Amy was going to be a big fluffy turkey with painted feathers but real feathers sticking out of her butt. She intended to run around the house, scratching at the ground, and pecking at people.
Di, Julie, Amber, Jimmy and I were to be dressed as other animals from the time. I thought it would not be a good idea to dress or paint our selves as Native Americans for perception's sake.
Sloan had the idea of making Mercedes and Naomi cows. They would walk around on all 4's, painted in black and white, and "moo" loudly with a large cow bell around their neck. Entertaining yes. Practical no. They did the majority of serving guests food, fetching drinks, and clearing up after people ate. Not to mention they answered the front door, escorted people around, and did other tasks. If they were just wandering around like cows all night, then nothing would be done. Sloan begged that we at least paint them as cows, and I gave in.
The word was out as well. Many actresses, actors, comedians, models, politicians, and billionaires began to contact us. Well, their assistants, publicists, and employees did. The only person to call us in person was Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson. I hate that guy, so I told him to fuck off.
