The Hot Dog Mustache Party Pics!
The Hot Dog Mustache Party was a smokin’ success. We had a big turnout, and nearly everyone brought a mustache or had one drawn on for the party. The party kicked off around 6 and the bottles were opened by around 7.
There were 9 entries for the Hot Dog dish contest, and surprisingly, many of them were really good. I mean like, can-I-get-a-recipe-for-that good. I was supposed to judge, but I decided to back out and make everyone vote for their favorites. Hey, shut up. It’s my party and I can change the rules if I want to. Honestly though, I just felt like I couldn’t rightfully judge all of these dishes because it was a lot to eat. People clearly took this contest seriously and a people’s vote was much more fair.
The awards were custom made. First place was a red wooden fish with gold-leaf fins that I got at Goodwill. I made him a custom, and might I say dashing mustache and marked him as 1st place appropriately. 2nd place was a porcelain Spuds McKenzie with a mustache that I got in a random auction box once. Third place was a lovely new 5950 hat that read Expensive Taste. This is funny enough on its own.
The prizes were handed out and good times were had. Much of the rest of the night was pretty blurry, but I remember a conversation where I suggested I grow a real ’stache like the one I was wearing that was met with overwhelming approval (this is what friends do, let you be an idiot.) At some point, we started mixing unconventional drinks because we’d run out of good bases like Vodka, Rum and Tequila. I did a couple of shots of Tanqueray, which tasted a lot like freshly cut grass. Others made mixes that were almost as bad as that, some including Peach Shnapps. Barf.
But barf I did not. I looked at pictures yesterday and everyone stayed late and seemed to have a good time. Some of the pictures late in the evening were not in my memory and a couple of videos were definitely not in my recollection. I do remember thinking I might be sick, but instead falling asleep on the bathroom floor after most of the guests had left. Hooray.
Then last night, a hardcore cold kicked in. Probably had something to do with me standing outside without a coat on… Ugh.
Anywho, here are the pictures I chose to share. I may have omitted a few.

Great post. We celebrate Movember at my work. I am pretty sure the cops were staking out some of my friends as pedophiles. Just saying.

This totally beats the Wax Your Own Vagina and/or Scrotum party I’ve been planning.
Dammit, now I need to rethink my pinata.

Sometimes I make Hubby “fall asleep” on the bathroom floor after a night like this too! Glad you had fun!

@lauren – Ooh, what are your final 3?
@Aunt Becky – You could totally grow one. Start ordering testosterone pills and you’ll have hair on your lip & chest in no time.
@Nikki – Thanks. I regretted the comment, because he was obviously just being a douche, but ultimately I meant what I said (http://diamondkt.blogspot.com/2010/01/quitting-your-job-in-recession-isnt.html#comments)
@mepsipax – MOVEMBER! You’ve shared something beautiful with me, my friend. I’m breaking out the RayBans and my orange/red/brown vest in preparation.
@Miss Spoken – That was my goal. I’m sorry, but when I heard you were planning a WYOV party, I panicked. This was clearly 2nd place to that idea so the clincher was the contest. I hope you can forgive me, and still invite me to the party. It’s a rainforest, if you know what I mean…
@Jules – Nobody really made me… I don’t think… You know, I don’t know… You might have made me subconsciously, and I can’t prove otherwise.

The hot dog squid are frigging genius. As is the baby mustache. It says that baby has discerning taste.

It was all that I dreamed it would be…and more! I don’t even eat hot dogs but I’m tempted to cook up a batch and make them into tiny octopi and serve them to strangers as they leave the gym across the street.
[Reply]
@Just A Girl – Oh yeah. “Should I poop now, or scream first?” Very discerning.
@Elevator (hehehe) – I think you should, but you’ll need a chef’s hat and a glass-domed tray to look the part.

That stache is so debonair! (is that how you spell it?) Its all kids of slick.
[Reply]

I’m going to say up front that I’m pretty sure this has nothing to do with your party, which sounds like a BLAST.
But you reminded me of this teacher I had in middle school who used to pass out at the mere smell of freshly-cut grass. We used to open the windows a sliver every time the lawn guys were at school and she would PASS the FUCK OUT and we would play games. WHAT? We were in middle school. It wasn’t all sexting and the orifice game in the ’80s.
shine´s last blog ..My blog thinks some of you are spam. I can’t seem to change that.

Did anyone tire of being offered your hot dog throughout the night? Better still, were you the first to pull the “hot dog through my zipper” gag? And any hot dog desserts?
[Reply]
Look Mr. Crispy Nipples, I didn’t say you could call me Elevator. Besides I’m a totally normal height now. Ish.

WTH? My invitation obviously got lost in the mail. No wait, you wouldn’t use the mail. WTF? I was purposely not invited? Not a happy camper. I love hot dogs & parties – mustaches? eehhh……not so much.
The center piece is freaking brilliant as is baby Hitler.

@A Vapid Blonde – Oh yeah. Pinkies up people. This is high society.
@Gingermandy – Right? She wanted to wax for the picture, but then she took a nap and pooped her pants. There are only so many hours in the day, you know…
@shine – I LOVE freshly cut grass. I’d dab a little behind my ears if I thought it would attract the ladies. Which reminds me of a time that I considered maple syrup scented cologne, except that I’d probably just attract dudes like myself, which was no good.
@Jay – *That* is why I should have invited you or made you my party consultant. Shit. Yet another opportunity missed.
@Elly Lou – Define normal. It doesn’t matter how tall you are, you’re all kinds of awesome and you need room to store it.
@toywithme – You didn’t get it? But I was sure I… Oh, man… I bet that mailman… Jeez. I’m sorry. You’d have HAD to wear a ’stache…
[Reply]
I am sorry. I feel like a dirty cougar looking at the pictures of young virile men. Honestly, Your Honor, I was just looking at the hot dogs and the mustaches.

@submom – There’s nothing wrong with appreciating the wieners in the above photos. I’d defend your case, dressed as a 70s lawyer.

What a fabulous party. Great idea. Glad it was a success.

With my Italian heritage I’m sure I could sprout some sort of facial hair and throw myself a soiree. Fantastic looking party and rocking prizes too.
