HAUTE LIVING: ​​What are some of your favorite memories and moments from the parties?
RANDE GERBER: The people make the party and the Casamigos is flowing, so lots of memories are made, none of which we talk about.

HL: ​​The Casamigos Halloween Party is the party of the year. Some have called it the Vanity Fair party of Halloween. What makes the Casamigos Halloween Party so legendary?
RG: We are fortunate to have an incredible list of people who love Casamigos. Our House of Friends is really important to us, and we protect everyone’s privacy. There are no photographers allowed in the party and our guests feel safe once they enter so everyone really lets loose.

HL: ​​What are some of the best costumes you’ve worn and seen? 
RG: Cindy and I go all out for Halloween. It’s the one night you can transform into someone else – at least on the outside. The rock star theme is the easiest. The year I was Axl Rose and Cindy was Slash was fun. I also did Kid Rock and Cindy did Pamela Anderson, which was great. The year I did Marilyn Manson and Cindy was Courtney Love was wild. I had extensions and contact lenses, so people thought I was actually him. Getting the extensions out was a pain literally since I didn’t have enough glue remover.

HL: ​​How will this year’s Halloween party be different from previous years?
RG: This year will be colorful, happy and all about love and how important family and friends are.  Yes, it’s Halloween, but considering the horrific situation that occurred in Israel, this year will be an occasion to hug our friends.
