As Halloween approached, so did the pressure on what to wear for this year's Cream Halloween Ball. This is the event's 12th anniversary and the longest running Halloween costume party in the country. From the past two costumes I've donned - I do have a really big shoe to fill.
Meanwhile, as exciting it is for the EDM community, a back-to-back special was arranged by Bigfish for its fans and loyal followers: Sean Tyas and Simon Patterson each and both on the decks for Cream! How cool can that get?
This year's theme was underwater where me and my BFF Jason had a hard time figuring out a concept on what to wear. We even resorted to silly ones because it was really hard to out-do our 2011 costumes: The Black Swan and Wonder Woman. However, we came to a point we would just wear anything we feel sexy, confident, and fun in. So that's what we did. On my part, I did have a costume crisis. Last minute change of heart. I felt this when I fit my costume and it didn't feel right. Good thing our couturier is so good they can also do rush orders. And what I wore that night, was a great decision and a lesson to always rely on instincts.
My outfit was inspired by Candy, the foxy sailorette from Christina Aguilera's Candyman music video and BFF Jason did a C.J. Parker (Pamela Anderson) as a Baywatch Blonde Babe.
Who whore'd (wore) it better?

Unlike last year, we were earlier than the usual to become a part of a media conference. This is a brief meet-and-greet and a chance for press, bloggers, and select few fans to ask the guest djs/producers questions. I got to do the ice breaker question, followed by a few more intriguing ones. Not mention, both Sean & Simon did like my costume but most importantly, had I not admitted I am a dude, they will never know.

I've always love the styles of both Si and Sean. They are more on the a deeper and darker side of trance which give them an edge from the so many dj/producers out there. I also follow the podcast of Sean Tyas called TYtanium Sessions. Si;s racy and edgy style is also mental - he could really drive to the edge in a very good way. Listening to both of them that night, there were times I could barely recognise who is on the decks. They both sound the same -- and by that I mean they both delivered mental tunes!!! Made me dance in my heels. Sean & Si did kill the night more than my 5-inch heels killed my feet.
Back to the look of the costume, I was overwhelmed with the response of people. There were friends who kept asking to send photos as they were excited to see what we were wearing that night. Some kept calling to ask what's our costume like. It felt as if we were stars and people anxiously await what we have in store for them. This year, the make-up also levelled up. All thanks to our brilliant MUA Renan Bautista. He both made me and Jason to look like girls - he softened our features. I was a girl!! Some say I look like Iza Calzado, and many would comment I really did look like a 1940's pin-up girl.
This year's Cream is one for the books - I did enjoy both my costume and the music. This also a shout out to all the others who exerted effort to looking good and having fun this Halloween. Cheerio!
To those who weren't there, here are a few snaps of what you have missed:
