halloween. this is the kind of situation i love: all i had for a costume was a pair of mismatched platform shoes, one white, one black. so, what to do? stay the course, of course--it's a national trend. black and white tights: easy. black and white tank top: required two tank tops sewed together. black and white wig: costume shop (same place shoes came from). black and white innertube: got from tire store for free (it had six holes in it, trip to k-mart to get a bike patch kit), old white paint i had lying around. one casualty: gabriel's old box fan which died while helping to dry the paint. makeup: krylon (the theater makeup, not the spray paint). if i ever get a tatoo i'll definitely consider spots.
why i thought i needed an innertube i'll probably never know but it worked great on the dance floor moving in a kind of counterpoint to my hip gyration. it acted like a fat hoolahoop. it was also kind of like having a dog when walking. it gave people an indirect way to say hello: "let's bump!" i'm definitely taking the outfit to mardi gras.
