halloween two-fer

i've got to say, the tonya harding costume came together FABULOUSLY. most people knew who i was - or figured it out once i waved my pipe at them, anyway.

with my superbly fabulous ex roomie, val

things i learned from this costume:

a) ice skaters are not normal sized people

b) i should never, EVER, go blonde

c) no matter how unattractive you think a far-too-tight red velour unitard is, apparently if you flash enough leg, people will still think you look hot.

i was sort of alarmed / disappointed on (c) there, because i was really really NOT going for "hot" with that outfit. i mean, LOOK AT IT.

hot...?

so! on friday night, i wasn't expecting to go to any other halloween parties - i thought the Boy Who Found My Blog and i were just going... out. like, to a bar or something. but at the last minute it was decided that we WOULD be attending a costume party, and i sort of hate being that one person who goes to a party and doesn't dress up, so i started casting about my house for a casual half-assed costume to throw together (i felt tonya was a One Night Only sort of deal). i had unhappily settled on generic/lame "schoolgirl," and was feeling very curmudgeonly about it, when TBWFMB mentioned this thing he'd heard on the radio about how it would be funny to go as plaxico burress this year.

"I HAVE A PLAXICO JERSEY!!" i hollered, and flew off the couch. 10 minutes and a quick trip to CVS later, i had a costume:

most people initially thought i was just being a giants fan, until i gestured at my leg wound, and then i got a lot of high fives. well, from dudes, anyway. most girls still had no idea who i was.

if you haven't already, everyone else: please post your halloween pics! because this is obviously all about me, and i want to see everyone's costumes :-)
