    Kim Kardashian makes a splash at NYC bash

    NEW YORK (AP) — Kim Kardashian isn't worried about the behemoth storm expected to pummel the eastern U.S. with rain and wind this week.

    Dressed as a blond mermaid for her Halloween party Saturday night in New York, the star joked that her boyfriend, Kanye West — wearing a nautical-looking outfit — could "sail" her to safety if need be.

    West didn't talk to press covering the event but smiled and took photos of Kardashian on his phone.

    It's the second year Kardashian has hosted the Midori Green Halloween party. She has an endorsement deal with the liquor company.

    The reality star said it took two months to plan her costume, inspired by the 1984 film "Splash," and two hours to get ready.
