God I love a good reason to get dressed up. I don’t mean heels and an LBD though. I’m talking wings and horns and tails and face paint. Little playboy bunny outfits for those who have been to gym this year. Massive hippo onesie for me.

Obviously there is no point getting all creatively dressed and then sitting at home watching reruns of The O.C.. You need to be somewhere out on the town, showing off how inspired you are this Halloween. You can either come to my Halloween dinner (hosted in my backyard which is at least 3m x 8m and has four chairs) or you can go to the Halloween party at Shimmy Beach Club (I suggest you do the latter). They’re hosting the All Hallows Eve extravaganza and it’s set to be an evening of mystery and suspense.

Take a step back in time, into the dark era of London in the 1800’s (think Jack the Ripper, Sweeney Todd or Sherlock Holmes for outfit inspiration).

Get a group of mates involved (or make it the most different first date ever) and book for the Murder Mystery dinner. After that, you can party the night away to top SA DJ’s Sox, Gareth Kenward and Branny B.

It is sure to be a real treat (or maybe a trick?).
