To celebrate Halloween AND the Canadian release of Rookie Yearbook One, we had a costume party on Saturday night at Magic Pony in Toronto.
Here are some snapshots of the awesome costumes we saw that night, all courtesy of Magic Pony, except where indicated (this one, for example, came from Julia Pohl-Miranda from Drawn and Quarterly).Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to put names to everyone’s faces. If you spy your mug in any of these photos, let us know in the comments and we’ll ID you.

All of that candy looks awesome! I love the Frida Kahlo costume.
Super duper huge yay for Canadian Rookiiieeeesssss.

Is Rookie planning a trip to Scandinavia, particularly Norway or Denmark anytime soon? Would be soo great!!
Also, damn jealous of the cake and all the amazing Frida Kahlo-costumes.. <3
Once we are a gigantic empire I hope we have a spacecraft that takes us everywhere to meet Rooks everywhere. But also: we are not that special! These events will still be really fun if they’re reader-organized. We try to reblog any info about reader-organized Rookie events we see on our tumblr. But ultimate goal is, um, world domination.
WAIT WHAT TAVI NO THATS KILLING ME I CANT WAIT FOR TOMORROW THATS TOO LONG WHAT NO wheres the nearest delorean.
in love with each pic from the party!
god, i want a piece of that magic cake.
Tavi’s facial expression in #54 is totally rocking. Especially with the amazing costume.
Aw, you guys are all so cute though! The costumes! The smiles! The cake! The decor! Adorable!
I’m loving all the Fridas, too.
Omg i am actually jealous! What tunes were yall listening to?
that was such a sick party, omg, the table of food was so perf, everything was so creatively spread and made, and the cake was delish, A ++++!
I’m not in any of the pics :( I was the chick dressed as Katy Perry. Wasn’t able to make it to the book signing but talked to Tavi for a brief sec when she offered me pastel cake :)
Good grief, I ADORE the Frida Kahlo one. So cool.
Gosh, that unicorn girl keeps popping up. I feel like I should know who she is…
the carrie costume rules
those skirts in #59 are so great! i’ve been wanting a sparkley skirt like that for a while now. those collars are super cute too :)
crying at the joy of all you rookie kittens, the cake (!!!!!!!), the costumes and TAVI YOUR FACE IN 53.
<3
That cake is the most legendary thing I have ever seen.
The end
FOOD.
Oh and 54 is totes my fave. Did cutting that cake take up a lot of concentration, Tavi?
58 is nice, and the costume on 77 – I love.
SO MUCH
Omigod Tavi: 53 and 54 you look so distressed. Dat cake. Wish I was there. POOP.
Ophelia xxx
WOW 44 has the same camera as me!
And #5 is super cool!
34 Is me and no one told me my flower crown was on backwards lol
It didn’t look backwards! Also, I was secretly admiring your glasses the entire time. Where’d you get them?
Yeah it didn’t look too bad, but when I got in the car I realized and felt really silly! (it wasn’t even the whole night though, I adjusted my hair while dancing and must’ve put the headband on backwards)
And my glass are these sunglasses but with prescription lenses :)
thanks for posting that because i, um, might buy them. because i’ve been looking for new glasses and those are wonderful
EVERYONE LOOKS SO FABULOUS OMG
Awjh afbjbjvdAD Wish I was there…
Please come to like um..somewhere in VA.
IT WOULD MAKE MY LIFE.
…Although I’m probably the only Rookie in the state of Virginia.
AMAZING
I love the Frieda Kahlo costume! She was such an amazing artist and interesting person.
AAAH these are so incredibly awesome! I wish I could have been there! <33
And I looooove all those costumes. amazing.
I would have gone dressed up as lumpy the space princess just becuase yolo and omglob she’s awesome.
Tavi’s face as she cuts the cake is positively priceless.
Also, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE that Petra is so intelligent and talented while also having the most incredible hair in the world?
It’s not fair!
Is this Britney Spears in #44? This is awesome.
OMG im so jealous :( can all of the rookie staff just get a private jet and fly to every country in the world and spread your amazing vibes and love and have wonderful parties like these !!!!
the katamari one is so great
Uhhhhh I live in Toronto and I was not there….. :( Nooooooo. But I’m happy the book has been released in Canada. I want one!!!!
