More Hallows Eve

On Halloween, Long Beach has its annual Haute Dog Halloween Parade. Every year this event grows in size and gets better and better. I am always amused and amazed at how creative people can be.

There were pirates
Bounty Hunters
Pitbulls in Tutus
Dogs dressed as dwarfs wearing sunglasses
Kentucky Derby Dogs
A 3 Headed Hellbeast Chihuahua
Down the rabbit hole
the metamorphosis
and then there were the tributes to Michael Jackson, this one was complete with professional security (from Sgt. Jim Dangle?) and umbrella holder
and this one, which was just brilliant
