For Josie's second Halloween the whole family dressed up as the greatest three-piece in rock and roll history, ZZ Top, featuring Josie on guitar as Billy Gibbons, JP on bass as Dusty Hill, and Annie on drums as Frank Beard. The Joh(a)ns(e/o)n Family does not believe in prefabricated Halloween costumes and this year all components were borrowed, thrifted, or crafted right down to the white, fuzzy guitars and Annie's curler and hairpsray-induced mullet fro.
The family spent the evening enjoying costumes, pizza, and beer at the Blind Lady Ale House before trick-or-treating training. Josie walked around one bustling block with the Maklary family before packing it in for the night.
Lookin sharp and lookin for love
Beard & HillJosie really enjoyed playing the crowd at the BLAH while walking around and holding her guitar. Too bad it's not easier to snap a good picture of her in action. Hey, she's got legs and she knows how to use them! Billy was quite content to strum from her high chair fortunately.

What happened to my cheap sunglasses?
This beard is fantastic!
Oh! Those tricksy parents have hidden a bribe within its itchy, ticklishness!
"I ain't askin for much. I said, Mom, take me downtown. I'm just lookin for some candy!"
A beer drinker and a hell raiser
Pizza in the beard. Oh, yeah!Mama and Daddy have high hopes of improving the beards and making the guitars spin for next year, but by then Josie will be deep in her twos. Maybe they'll hire out a more complacent wildcat to be Billy.
Update!!! The Blind Lady Ale House awarded ZZ Top the Best Costume prize for the night!
No doubt about the costume winners!
