On Ideas kicked off Halloween weekend with its first ever agency-wide costume contest. The festivities began around lunchtime and started out with a delicious potluck lunch. It was said that this was one of the healthiest potlucks yet, featuring carrot salad, pasta salad, veggies and coleslaw. That was until the pizza and wings arrived and not to mention the spread of cookies, brownies and dirt pie.
Everyone gorged themselves with delicious treats with Halloween themed-background music and, contrary to assumption, Monster Mash was not played every thirty minutes. The music eventually shifted to the tune of Lady Gaga, going with the theme of one of the employee costumes.
Judging for the costume contest took place after all the eating. Three judges used a system based on a points scale to determine the winners in two costume categories: Best Pop Culture Icon and Best Character in Current Events. The winners were as follows:
Pop Culture
1st: Logan as “Where’s Waldo?”
2nd: Claire as “QR code Dolly Parton”
3rd: James as “QR code 80’s Cheesy Pop Music Video”
Current Events
1st: Candace as “Lady Gaga”
2nd: Jenna as “Snookie”
It was a great opportunity for the agency to let loose and have a little fun together. When it was over, Lady Gaga took off her glasses and heals, and Snookie let down her poof because it was time to get back to work!
