Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve

[joyeuse13]

This is the first time I've done an actual character costume. I hadn't really thought about it before, but that does have an effect on people's perceptions--especially if it's a well-known character, and especially a well-known character from a kids' novel

The White Witch was a scary Villian, but she was also conquered - that probably helps with the scared or fascinated reaction.

The disco queen girl came up and hugged me later...I have no idea why. :)

Well, kids also love the villians. I remember thinking Darth Vader was absolutely the coolest thing on the planet at age 5. (Me at age 5, not Darth Vader at age 5. There I go misplacing my modifiers again!)

Ha, that's awesome.

As a data point I will mention that my brother, upon seeing The Empire Strikes Back when he was four or five, loved Darth Vader and was scared witless by Yoda. And that was before his Yoda the Sonic Hedgehog routine.

Well, Yoda's pretty creepy, I'll give you that.

But what about the daughters of Adam and the sons of Eve?

That *is* a tres cool costume, btw.

Merci!

I always figured sons were all Adam's fault... ;)

So, Eve was originally parthenogenetic?

The missing passage from Genesis!
