Dear Marc, the other day, when I was invited to a costume party and couldn't find my pirate hat (I was so disappointed! I was so set to pin a few dead birds on my shoulder and try eating with a hook for a hand), I ended up going as a glamour mime.
While I wouldn't recommend this look to anyone, I think it's a good thing to dress as your worst nightmare. A way to conquer your fears.
At the costume party, I saw Snow white dancing with astronauts. I saw a box of crayons drinking beer. I saw jockeys hugging surgeons. I witnessed a group of Amish gentlemen getting down. I saw a whale doing the running man. I saw my former boss in the disguised of a sick man.
"What are you?"
"I am Sick"
Trust a former copywriter to dress the part of an adjective.
But the winner that night took the prize (as winners tend to do):
A kitschy fisher man complete with frame, pipe and all.
I like this flesh colored costume too, though it's from a party I was never even close to.
What's the best costume you ever saw?
love
(I'm miming this as I type)

A couple of my friends dressed up as Pasty and Edina once, it was like they were chanelling them!
The other day there was a costume party at a bar I stopped by. Everyone had gone to so much trouble. There was Bender & the Lobster guy from Futurama. As well as Gogo Yubari and the Corpse Bride. Bender won the best dressed!
you're just amazing! the most original blog i've ever seen.
You, my dear blogging stranger, are absolutely HILARIOUS. Your letters to Marc are the bee's knees.
My next door neighbors Lily and Gary. Lily and Gary are no more so Lily is with Jeff. When I met Jeff, I saw a man with a long braided pigtail, and, he had a large parrot on his shoulder. It was in the Spring. My Father, who is 90, had dated the (now)aunt of Jeff. I talked to him, as the cockatoo sat on his shoulder. It was bright green, etc.
Can I just tell you that this is the most fun blog that I have seen in a long time.
The history of perfume goes back to Egypt, although it was prevalent in East Asia as well. Early perfumes were based on incense, not chemicals, so aromas were passed around through fumes. The Roman and Islamic cultures further refined the harvesting and manufacturing of perfumery processes to include other aromatic ingredients.
Thus, the ancient Islamic culture marked the history of modern perfumery with the introduction of spices and herbs. Fragrances and other exotic substances, such as Jasmine and Citruses, were adapted to be harvested in climates outside of their indigenous Asia.
Ah….the sweet, smell of perfume! Today's market is flooded with hundreds and hundreds of different fragrances ranging
from floral to woodsy. Most women love the smell of perfume, wearing it even when going to the grocery store. The problem
is that perfume allergy for some women, is anything but nice.
Choosing the right perfume can be difficult and because it is also considered an intimate gift buying the wrong perfume
can backfire on you and get you the opposite result of that which you hoped for.
The first thing you need to do is do some homework, meaning research. Look at your lady's perfume bottles, the ones that
are nearly empty will be her favorites. If there is one there that is nearly full chances are she doesn't wear it often
or doesn't like it. Hint around and ask her what types of fragrances she likes and dislikes.
Humans are very sensory oriented and our sense of smell is no different. Certain perfumes can elicit strong reactions in
both the wearer and the person reacting to the scent. Perfumes are made not only to attract but to also relax someone. If
you aren't totally sure what kind of perfume to buy you can always play it safe and get something in the aromatherapy
line. If you go this route, bear in mind that vanilla scents are considered to relax and a peppermint or lemon scent will
be more stimulating.
