HAUTE HALLOWEEN 2013

Celebrities always seems to get into the spirit of Halloween. For some, it merely putting some face paint on or a simple mask. For others, it's the total transformation of another character or other Celebrities.








Take this years 2013 Halloween Costumes favorites. TV Personality and Talk Show Host Ellen DeGeneres, took a walk on the wild side to become Pop/Hip-Hop Artist Nicki Minaj. Ellen emulated Nicki's outfit that she wore on her appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. The long blond wig, the Black Leather pants, down to the twins exposed crop top worn by Nicki Minaj. In my opinion, My girl Ellen nail her costume down to the tee. How do you think she did?

Then there is the young actress turned recent controversial "TWERK" Queen Miley Cyrus . While everyone else is busy dressing as Miley Cyrus's 2013 VMA's performance with Pop/R&B Artist Robin Thicke, Miley clearly became Rap Phenom Lil Kim during her 1999 MTV Awards appearance. The infamous purple one shoulder jumpsuit with the one boob pasty to match was a perfect way to pay homage to her idol. I feel that both Ellen DeGeneres and Miley Cyrus clearly scored major points with their choices for their 2013 Halloween Haute Costumes.  Wishing everyone a safe a Happy Halloween. #PleaseDrinkResponsibly #SigningOff #CoffeeWithCream #NeverHaveYourCoffeeWithoutTheCream #dominiquedeveraux.blogspot.com #EllenDeGeneres #MileyCyrus #LilKim #NickiMinaj #Halloween #Haute #2013

One phone call, and then a 24 hour flight to Atlanta the very next day. Pebbles then married to music mogul LA Reid, Their guest house soon became the residence for me and new room mate Lisa Lopez. Pebbles, Tionne, and Lisa soon became my family away from home.
