Okay kiddies! Here it is – the much anticipated, long-awaited answer to what Lisa Jey Davis – Ms. Cheevious herself chose to “be” on Halloween, and the photos from that crazy night in Aspen to prove it.
It was loads of fun, I have to say, though probably wouldn’t really qualify as an adventure in many circles, as I was home and ready for bed before midnight! (Gasp)
I’m sure the midnight oil was burning hot for most people in town that night, but I found myself quite satisfied with myself and very ready to head home (along with my other crazy friends, I might add) earlier than anticipated.
But why continue to bore you with the details of what time I turned into a pumpkin? I’ll get on with the most important thing – the very news item you’ve all been waiting for:
What costume did I decide to wear this year for Halloween, (since the Guinavere costume was sooooo three years ago)?!!!
Okay – okay, I was one of the nine daughters of Zeus. You know, the Greek god? I was Calliope – chief of all muses. Calliope was responsible for inspiring epic event poetry and such. Sounds fitting, right? Everyone knows I write such epic, serious treatises on world events — like my halloween costume.
If you read my entry last week, Seeking Inspiration, perhaps you also saw the comment by a friend “A” – the one who so cleverly suggested I dress as a MUSE, after reading my last comment to everyone “Will you be my muse?” Ah, A is a clever one, indeed. She even went so far as to offer the 4-1-1 on the muses, themselves:
Muse = Goddess of Art:
in Greek mythology, one of the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, goddess of memory. The Muses inspired and presided over the creative arts. They were Calliope, Clio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia, and Urania, responsible for epic poetry, history, love poetry, lyric poetry, tragedy, sacred song, dance, comedy, and astronomy, respectively.
Needless to say, I prodded “A” to come along with me on my A-Muse-ing journey, Halloween night, and thank goodness, she agreed. We got together the night before and put everything together. YEP – HAND MADE costumes. They ROCKED too!
So here they are – enjoy the photos!
Me (Calliope), Julius Caesar (of course) & “A” (Erato, because she was feeling so Amore) – that wrap on Erato is PINK FUR… SOOOO COOL! It’s for sale for $500, if anyone wants it. ha ha
Erato & Trinity, plotting to kick some ASS!
Calliope & Erato get a little NUTTY
Me and the female TIN-MAN, or TIN GIRL, I should say
AND NOW FOR SOME OF THE CRAZY COSTUMES AROUND ASPEN, COLORADO:
Hot Mermaid & Pirate
Aspen Airlines Big Boobed Flight Attendants
An ALL-TOO-FAMILIAR Construction Zone – complete with cones and streetwalkers
Old Lady Gertrude or Gladys, or something, the Mod-Squad Dude, and a Giesha – this was the rest of our gang that night!
Crazy neon dude, on the move!!
Me & a very young Gilligan!!!
And the night wouldn’t be complete without a butt grab of an unsuspecting Teletubby, minding his own business. POOR TELETUBBY.

Ms. Cheevious is the alter-ego of Lisa Jey Davis (former publicist, and television talent manager, current award-winning writer & author, & health and fitness pro). Though Ms. Cheevious has become known for humor via the blog and social media, offering a lighter and brighter look at life… the blog was originally a precursor to Lisa Jey's long overdue book "Ms. Cheevious in Hollywood" which offers a fabulous, funny peek into what really goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood… a Hollywood with Lisa Jey and her funny “serendipities” in it. Think Lucille Ball meets Chelsea Handler meets the girl next door (with a little chocolate and vodka). It depicts with hilarity the innocent mistakes Lisa Jey made when launched back into the big, bad single jungle, as an unassuming single-mother in the City of Angels. It’s also about the beautiful, interesting life she led while her loving, incredible sons kept her grounded and sane amid fantastic events, new friends, parties and field trips. It also shows the turmoil and heartbreak that comes with dating and single mom life. All blog content © 2015 Ms. Cheevious aka Lisa Jey Davis
You are definitely the cutest one in the bunch! HA!(a little biased being your sister).
Great costume! I can’t believe all the whacky costumes. I didn’t even see ONE (adult) in costume this year. Of course we didn’t go to any parties either – that might be the reason!
Keep the blogs comin’ – I’m lovin’ it!

Thanks Mave! That’s nice of you, but I have to admit my friends were all pretty cute, and so were so many of the people out that night! They were so creative! Oh – and we were just at restaurants – believe it or not! That’s just how Aspen is!
Indeed, you make a stunning Calliope! How fun!
You look so wondeerful, pretty woman…. I love U
