Hallowe'en Party
Yesterday a coworker of mine had a Hallwoe'en party, and other coworkers convinced me to go. It was entertaining, for the most part, and I'm glad Matt and Cheryl gave me the invite. Still, there were amazingly few of us from work. Of course I wanted to wear SOME sort of costume, and it's been YEARS since I dressed up for Hallowe'en. You know, after that incident where I was convinced to be Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z and my cape got caught on a lamppost and my brother caught his "Super Saiyan 3 Gokuu wig" on fire with a curling iron. Yeah, good times, then -_-;;;;
So, the above (minus one of Carls' Japanese swords) was the end result. I picked up the yukata while I was in Japan with joncub and co. (Happy birthday BTW!!! :: ass spank ::), and I didn't think it looked so bad. Apparently the Japanese motif wasn't the "in" costume for Hallowe'en, as there NO accessories I could find at the plethora of Hallowe'en boutiques, etc., around town. Though there were certainly enough "snake charmer" costumes with a snake coming out of a man's pants. Oh, and a giant penis costume. I'm sure there were tons of parents flipping when their little kid went, "Mommy, can I dress up like that??" :: laugh ::
What you DON'T see? This was also the first night wore a fundoshi. Good LORD, have you ever tried to TIE one of those things?!?! I apparently screwed up the first time and had to rush to the restroom to RETIE the fucker as it was hovering around my knees by the time I GOT to the restroom. :: laugh :: Still, the fundoshi (also procured while we were in Japan) is awesome looking -- it has the kanji for "bear" written all over it and everything!! Still, until I get more proficient in wearing the things I don't think I'll be wearing one any time soon ...
