Stevie in costume?

Do you guys think Stevie was in costume for Hulaween, as that is the standard dress for the event...or maybe being Stevie is costume enough for her...

Hard to say really what she considers as a "costume"

Maybe she added spiderwebs to her black outfit and wore long fingernails with a witch hat?

Maybe she really went as a hot dog or a box of kleenex

LOL, I was thinking the same thing about the outfit, probably just dressed the usual stage outfit up a bit to fit the halloween theme. I am so anxiously waiting on the details, photos, etc...

My jaw will drop if Stevie actually wore a costume though. Would be so awesome if she did.

I checked Gettyimages.com to see the Hulaween pics. There were three pages worth of pictures, but none of Stevie. I hope she made it there, and I hope someone here can post pics.

Hm, I've been tapping my fingers on my desk for a few hours now. Come on already.

Okay, I am getting really frustrated.

I Googled Stevie and Hulaween and only got sites mentioning the upcoming event, but nothing about this as a post event news item. It's like there is a weird kind of news black out concerning Stevie or everyone was just so put under Stevie's spell last night, it is taking a while for everyone to recover.

Either, it will be a very small news blip, or we will get tons of news, photos, etc...

Here's a write-up in today's Liz Smith column in Variety:

BETTE MIDLER'S ANNUAL "Hulaween" fund-raiser for her New York's Restoration Project Tuesday night was another triumph for Bette Midler who raised an incredible $2 million for the work that keeps New York City No. 1 in the world. Almost without exception, every person who crammed into the Waldorf's ballroom was in costume. The "Hulaween" event is always kind of loosey-goosey, but this year it was a very "downtown" happening, as if Webster Hall had moved into the gilt and glitter of midtown. The costumes were fabulously inventive, colorful and some of them quite wicked. (There was one girl wearing a sequined T-shirt that said "Mrs. Ritchie." She carried an African doll in a bundle slung across her arm. The photographers went wild for her.) Bette appeared as a goddess of nature with what seemed to be a large dangling fern headpiece. (But Bette later explained it was a faucet.) Joy Behar, her co-auctioneer, was Queen Elizabeth II. (Harvey Fierstein said she looked more like Golda Meir or Leona Helmsley.) The auction was fast, furious and fabulously vulgar. Bette did her level best to get those big bucks. And Bette is so persuasive talking about her wish to make the city a lovely, welcoming environment, not only of steel, glass and concrete, but of trees and grass -- well, you want to go right out and plant a sapling. Bette says her own goal is to plant "a million trees" in New York. Costumed celebs included Rachael Ray, Martha Stewart, Michael Kors, Danny Aiello, Lee Daniels, Anne Hathaway. Willie Nelson was honored for his founding of Farm Aid. He and Bette sang an exquisite "Wind Beneath My Wings." Then, Willie sang some more -- perhaps more than expected. Stevie Nicks was waiting to take the stage. All I can say is it was worth the wait. The audience went berserk as she appeared, swelling voluptuously out of a black lace dress over four-inch black leather boots. Her voice, one of the most distinctive in rock'n'roll, was rich and full. As Nicks went into her famous trademark "twirl," the crowd yelled loud enough to be heard out on Park Avenue. Forty minutes later when she finished, the room was on its feet and Bette herself was rocking out. It was funny, campy and thanks to Stevie, enjoyably sweaty.

P.S. ON Stevie Nicks. This iconic, somewhat mysterious performer, spends time these days visiting wounded soldiers at Walter Reade Hospital. She gives presence, support and iPods filled with great music as well. Asked about this, she blushes and brushes it off: "They're great guys -- and gals. No matter what you think about the war, it's the least anybody can do, right?" Right.

No mention about a costume... but I can't believe she did a 40-minute set!!

And it was probably a "full-on" set rather than the usual outfit changes, long instrumentals, percussion solos, etc. Oy!

I posted a couple of crappy pics over on the "Anyone going to Hulaween" thread. Of course, our Stevie was not in costume. I was hoping for anything. Come on. I'd be satisfied with the box of Kleenex, the witch hat. Anything. Of course, Wille was not in costume either, so I guess the performers thought they were special or something and the whole "costume party" thing did not apply to them. Elitists.

I had this crazy fantasy that she would go as Cleopatra.

Okay, I really did laugh out loud at that one. I still tell people about that story. I even tried to get my friend to go with me one year with one of us as a hot dog and the other a box of kleenex. Both are costumes you can easily get at some costume places. LOL!

Cleopatra, now that is a costume fitting of Stevie.
Enter Stevie on stage on one of those chariotts carried by sexy beefed up guys as the beginning of GDW starts up. Now that is high drama.
