Can you show me the world? Is it going to be shining, shimmering and/or splendid? In the spirit of Halloween, I thought you guys might want a peek at what has been, to date, my Best Costume Ever.
Ironically, Best Costume was showcased not during Halloween but at The Rugby Sevens, an insane international rugby tournament in Wellington, New Zealand. 80,000 costumed people crowd into a stadium to get really drunk, dance in their seats and occasionally turn their eyes towards the rugby field.
Our choice of Jasmine and Aladin costumes was largely determined by what was available at the Salvation Army. And apparently people are quite keen to donate silver lame vests and transparent blue pajama pants these days. No kidding? My top is actually fashioned out of a swimsuit wrap and Sam is wearing my Italian Harem pants, with the express warning not to mess them up! Because I wear them all the time! I stuck that veil to my face with double-sided tape mostly because I was so embarrased to be showing my pale, pale tum in public. You'll also note our 'magic lamp' (aka teapot) and flying carpet (aka bamboo mat from the sun porch) because we are nothing if not committed to a theme.
We eventually trundled our way to the stadium, where we had to surrender our suspiciously weapon-like teapot and Sam's plastic saber ... though we did make it through with a camelbak of vodka gimlets.
What was your Best Costume Ever?
