This Pizza + Ice Cream Couples Costume Is for (Junk Food) Lovers
The great debate of which is better — pizza or ice cream — is one that plagues my particular household. My husband, David, is a firm member of the ice cream camp, while I will wholeheartedly choose pizza anytime, anywhere and at any quality level. After all, even bad pizza is better than most other things. So what’s a couple to do? Dress up as each other’s favorite junk food, duh.

Misty Spinney transformed David into a hot slice of ‘za while I became a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Admittedly, our team’s take on ice cream has a little more in common with Nicki Minaj than Ben and Jerry, but I’m not complaining ;)

But wait, there’s more! Kelly, that skillful overachiever, made TWO slices of pizza. PIZZA, PIZZA! Dreams really can come true.
Two pizzas are clearly better than one. In fact, this double slice situation kind of makes me want to quit my job and start a pizza-focused two-person folk band with my husband. You know you’d see our show.
Tracks would include: Turn Down for ‘Za (to the tune of Lil Jon); Can’t Feel My Slice (inspired by The Weeknd); Back That Pizz Up (an ode to Juvenile); and Get Ur Slice On (a collab with Missy Elliott).
