I don’t mean to be cocky or anything, but my bandmate is cooler than your bandmate. My bandmate decided that it would be really funny to show up at the Big Stupid Mt. Pleasant Hipster Halloween Party wearing nothing but a pair of sneakers and a watch, and wielding a recent copy of The New York Review of Books. She called the next day to recount

sounds awesome. did she tell you how she got to the party - did she like wear a trench coat and ceremoniously discard it at the door, or did she somehow get there unclothed?

also, divorce counseling?

She wore a long coat to the party and then discretely discarded it in a closet before going out and mingling among the couple hundred guests.

I refer to it as that tongue-in-cheekily.

couple hundred guests! sheesh, where was this? she certainly is a brave woman.

also, I love the NY Review of Books just as an absurd accessory, but is there a specific joke in there too that I'm missing?

The sort-of annual Euclid St. House Halloween thing (which last year was attended by 345 people, "a rough estimate arrived at by committee while
drunk", said the residents).

Specific joke...well, I guess it'd be that that's been her periodical of choice lately for whatever reason, so it was a necessary accessory as she was aiming to look as if she was just hanging out at her apartment minding her own business.

haha i'd love to hear a sampling of the reactions. i also like how "minding her own business" includes not wearing clothes, kind of gives the phrase new meaning :)...

My favorite was the woman who said, “Wow, can I touch them?” and she was like “Uh...sure?” and then the woman touched and removed her hand quickly and said “Oh my god, I didn’t realize they were real!”

There were also some pretty funny reactions by people who like to think they’re freewheelin’ artistes but show that they’re anything but when confronted with a situation like that. The reactions of the people who were so fucking wasted that they didn’t even notice her nekkidness were also notable.
