VILLA HEFTYE / OSLO (Nettavisen): On Monday evening, the stage was finally set for the annual Halloween party of artist and profile “Bloggers” Alexandra Joner (34). It is for the first time in two years that she and her boyfriend Runar Vatne can stage the party’s annual hit, due to previous coronary restrictions.

This year, the celebrity party will be held at the Villa Heftye restaurant, and the celebrities didn’t seem to have spared a dime when it came to costumes.
The hosts of the evening, Alexandra Joner and Runar Vatne, have traditionally spent a lot of time on their costumes.
– I feel like a mixture of an avatar and a kitten, they are nothing specific, they just are, Joner told the online newspaper Monday night.
Compared to previous years, however, he had fewer things to fight for at this year’s Halloween party.
– This year I delegated tasks and people to help me, so it made my life a lot easier. But obviously it takes a lot of time and phone calls, she says.
Seven hours in the makeup chair
Artist Jorun Stiansen (38) was among the celebrities who had embarked on the journey. This year she really went “all in” to complete the costumes and dress up as a “predator”.
– We started at twelve today and finished ten at seven, so we’ve been sewing ever since, but I think the preparations we’ve made are absolutely fantastic, she told Nettavisen.
Also, she doesn’t hide the fact that she spent a lot of money on her costume.
– It’s like I said, some people spend money on a pair of shoes or a bag, but I spend it on a Halloween costume for the night of my life, he continued.
A shy David Eriksen (55) also appeared at the Halloween party on Monday night.
– I’m a very schizophrenic version of a pope meeting an “American Horror Story” character and a drag artist, he tells Nettavisen.
Tribute to the fight against gay law
Spouses Niklas Baarli (33) and Benjamin Silseth (31) were also dressed for the occasion. However, they had chosen to pay homage to their love through the evening’s outfits.
– We have chosen to pay homage to 50 years of struggle to abolish the gay law. 50 years ago men weren’t allowed to sleep with men, that’s what we might have looked like if another 50 years had passed and no one had fought, Silseth says Monday night.
Influencers and former “Farmen kjendis” participant Øyunn Krogh (25) had also made the trip to Villa Heftye. Unlike others, she didn’t have much costume inspiration for the evening.
– Zero inspiration, I ran around the city of Oslo and also went to the children’s department at H&M and found this dress here. I thought I didn’t have time to run so I bought it, wore it at home and came here, she says.
Makeup on twin sisters
Sebastian Solberg (33) and Marte Bratberg (33) were in attendance for this year’s Halloween party and dressed up as twins Vita and Wanda Mashadi.
– We have to look like the fattest twins in town, says Solberg.
– Actually they should have come tonight, so it would have been a surprise, but I don’t think they will come anyway, continued Bratberg.
