my adventure in designing a mansuit
I've been known to make a bet or two in my life before I'd actually thought it all the way through. Case in point: I bet Tim that I could fool him into thinking I was a man, for 5 minutes in a public place. Me... a man. Yes. OK... surRrrRe...
So I set to it, and gathered supplies from my circle of men, marvelling at every step just how feminine I look. My jawline, my hands, the way I move, the way I speak (voice aside, I'm talking about the way I tilt my head and move while I'm speaking, my intonations, etc.)... but there was 3-course meal at stake, so I swallowed my girliness and went for it.
The stake-out: I arranged to meet Tim at MEC, before we were to grab some lunch. Sitting on the bench right at the bicycle locks, I waited, all incognito, and read a newspaper. When he arrived, I kept my concentration buried in the paper... He took a few minutes as he locked up his bike, glanced up at me a few times. I guess he noticed that my bike wasn't there, so he thought to himself: "I hope she gets here soon, she's gotta see that guy's moustache!" He was about to head into the store, when he glanced back at me and recognized my Batman sunglasses, (the only prop I had spaced on out-sourcing! POOO!) and I heard him burst into hysterical laughter... so I couldn't help it, I started laughing... and then my moustache fell off!
Lol, so I got him for about 3 minutes - which entitles me to the meal IF he fails to complete his end of the bet - which is to convince me that he's Chinese for the same amount of time. Which... I... just... can't see him successfully doing... but man, if he does... haha, I'll be sure to post the pics :)
