masquerading

yesterday, my boss said "i need a picture of you." i said "ok, no problem." she countered "i need a picture of you in normal clothes- no costumes." i said "ok, we need to take one then." recently krissy commented that "all you need to do to get sarah to dance is put her in a costume and give her a blow up parrot" (that comment will make sense shortly) also, when talking to adrienne about people thinking that i "dress up a lot" she said- "they probably mean because you love to wear costumes" wow, three statements like that in a short period of time made me think- do i love costumes too much? i blame theme parties & alpha gamma delta for my dedication to costuming. nevertheless, i do masquerade quite often in a variety of attires. the proof is in the pudding- or at least in my iphoto library. i should mention that i have never purchased a part of any of these costumes, i credit my success to an eclectic wardrobe and an excellent rummage inventory at my disposal.
nerd day @ BABS...


as the devil, give me a break, it was halloween...


as tundra women, complete with honey bucket at our fall jvc retreat in anchorage:


gilligan & the skipper during our "3-hour tour" tri-birthday celebration


no explanation, except, it was our friend oz's birthday, and no one felt like wearing real clothes to his birthday party. it inspired krissy's above quote...


wearing our winter coats & wigs was a favorite past time- until it actually got cold...


as a snowboarder during sports day...


red, white & blue day, nothing new...

Okay, I accept the blame for your masquerading habit. It goes back to the tomato outfit that you wore in October of '84. Then we moved onto fruit, strawberry, then crayons, bunnies, cheerleader...but that nun get up was all Aunt Kathy's fault! This could be what happens when your mother dresses up as a Famous Marylander Hooker!
