...and others of your faith: this is the US of Paranoia. Different = OMG THEY'RE GONNA KILL US.

10 years ago I wandered the airport in Salt Lake City dressed to role-play a vampire. (I'm not kidding; I hadn't PLANNED on stopping in SLC, but my plane to San Antonio was diverted due to weather, and I had to wait in the concourse for 2 hours.)

They gave me looks like they were afraid I was going to eat them all up; everywhere I looked, there was a suit-and-tie wearing elder (with his nametag - that's how I knew) with his arms crossed, glaring.

NOW? I think I'd be shot dead once I set foot off the plane - and I don't even dress like that (normally) anymore.

...well, in my roaring 20s, I tended to delight in making non-freaks freak out.

Now, I just don't give a damn WHAT people-I-don't-know think. And I haven't LARPd in 10 years; the issue is now "do my street clothes make people nervous", not "is this costume acceptable in public".

It's at an Israeli Faire during Purim, where several Chabadniks were ready to strap people into tfillin.

A man (of the extremely hot bearded Hebrew variety) approached me in the bakery once and asked me "Have you had the chance to put on tefilin today?". When I explained I wasn't Jewish he was really surprised. Musta been my beard and the big bag of Everything Bagels I was buying.

Hehehe, how odd. People my beard and assume I'm Muslim. ^^;;;
