The Golden Bachelorette season 1 contestant Pascal Ibgui has nailed Halloween, hilariously dressing up as Joan Vassos.
Pascal, 69, took to social media to share his tribute to the Golden Bachelorette herself, 61, on Sunday, October 27, dressed in a long blonde wig, figure-hugging gold dress and gold heels. In his hand, a single gold rose.
“Pascal, will you accept this rose ,” the salon owner, who is a father to three children, captioned the Instagram post.
Pascal was posed on an elaborate staircase inside his Chicago salon, Pascal pour Elle, dressed in cobwebs and spiders to snap the photo, heightening the festivities even further.
Chock! Mark! Charles L.! Golden Bachelorette Joan on Her Most Memorable Men
The light-hearted post comes after Joan confirmed to Us Weekly ahead of the ABC spinoff’s premiere on September 18 that she does indeed find love on the show.
“The journey ended exactly like it should. I feel like I found a lot of love and there’s all different kinds of love,” Joan told Us in the days just prior to the show’s launch. “I feel like every one of these men are gonna be in my life forever. We shared really, really intimate things about our lives and we are bonded. So I think I found a lot of love actually this season.”
Joan, who is a mother to four adult children, revealed during the October 23 episode of The Golden Bachelorette that her hometown visits to the houses of Pascal, Guy, Jordan and Chock left her “in a funk,” and she didn’t feel “very confident” with several of her final relationships.
Joan added that she had two contestants — Guy and Chock — who were “very committed,” whereas the other two — Pascal and Jordan — had been “very noncommittal, not knowing where their hearts are.”
“I feel less confident now than I did much earlier in this journey,” Joan told the cameras. “I should be diving in, I should be taking that leap of faith that I keep talking in my head about.”
Golden Bachelorette Joan Breaks Down the Premiere: ‘You Need to Kiss People!’
Pascal said during the show’s premiere episode that he is hoping to find a partner to do life with. “I have made myself a great lifestyle,” Pascal said at the time. “I’m fortunate [that] I’m able to travel. I’m driving the car I want to drive. I buy the clothes I want. I live in a beautiful home. I would like to be able to have a partner to share my life with.”
During his first conversation with Joan in that episode, Pascal pulled out a letter that was written by his son, Maxim. Pascal prefaced the message by saying that the note made him feel like he had “done what needed to be done.”
“Dear father, as you embark into your new journey, you’re going to kick ass,” Pascal read aloud, earning a laugh from Joan. “I believe in you. You are the greatest father. Thank you for the advice you have given me. You are my rock, I love you and I hope that Joan will be a good fit for you. Your difficult son.”
