Sexy is forbidden here, what with the children's ward and all. A couple of years ago I stole someone's idea with a poufy-skirted cocktail dress, pearls, a tiara, and a sash that said Miss Information, and had considerable stupid fun at work.
"Is Doctor S in?"
"No, I'm sorry, he's off today for the opening of wabbit season."
"Do you have the clinic report on Bobby R?"
"No, I'm sorry, Doctor S ate it."
"Is Doctor K here?"
"Yes, but he's hiding under his desk. Students frighten him."
Profoundly unsexy, but fun.
The coolest unsexy costume I ever saw here was the department administrative head about five years ago, who came in dressed in a black suit, red tie and bowler hat with a leafy, twiggy green apple mask hanging down from the brim of the hat.
Ha! I win at life. I made raincheck plans with someone tonight who invariably cancels at the last minute, and proceeded to make backup plans with someone else. So of course my friend cancels, but I still have plans!
Not very many people dress up here at the EE, which is sad. This year, I'm either dressing up as a Victorian lady adventuress back from Mars (if Pete manages to do the re-paint job on my toy ray gun, that is), or I'm falling back on my standby and dressing up as a Victorian vampiress.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday lori!
Happy Anniversary to Plei and DH!
If I have offended anyone here by my words or actions,accidentally or deliberately, I ask your forgiveness.
(I'm sorry that my words are but a poor echo of Nilly's, but I hope the sentiment came across ok.)
Hey, what do you call the part of a combination lock or padlock that is the U-shaped bar?
Nebbermind, Wikipedia solved it: it's the shackle. Duh.
A friend of mine and I used to joke about going as the Sun.
I went through a period of having these conceptual costumes. I went in consectutive years as The sky (lots of blue tie-dye and huge cotton clouds in my hair), the ocean (the same tie-dye with fish and shells), darkness (all black), autumn ( a red silk toga with real and painted leaves) .
I want to dress as a can-can girl (a la Moulin Rouge), but a) everyone's already kinda seen it so to top it (and make it more authentic) I'd b) have to spend a lot of money. Which I don't have. Grump.
Dude, juliana. I want to steal your idea.
Hmm. Maybe something with my corset, even if I don't commit theft of intellectual property...
Fairy tales or comics, that's how this will come down, I think.
Suddenly the idea of going as Snow White is cracking me up, but I'll get over that soon enough.
I want to steal your idea.
Steal away. I think you'd look awesome like that.
