Halloween Party 2009!

As usual the movie business has swallowed me whole and spit me out again- just in time for holiday fun. While playing catch up I decided to post some pictures by the amazing Melissa Prosser, who graciously attended the annual Spooktacular Halloween Party as a guest and a photographer. We squeezed it in while I was filming The Lottery Ticket and I was back on set before my Bo Peep curls were gone. Please enjoy the beautiful shots that Melissa (aka Alice) captured of this year's party.

Dive-In Movies

We have started a wonderful tradition here at Unicorn Villa- the Dive-In Movie! Sunday nights find us out in the backyard with a potluck bbq. As dusk falls, we begin the screening of a movie on a screen hung over the pool. It's a fun tradition that I am really enjoying this summer. We have pretty good turnouts with neighbors and friends and everyone pitches in, making it a really easy, relaxing, low maintenance party as well.
