beulahbondo's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Puma's Picks Sgt. Donna Puma, costumes mistress extraordinaire, has offered me the following Halloween choices from her collection: a) Cher b) Nancy Kerrigan c) Mickey Mouse d) Minnie e) Tonya Harding f) a lumberjack g) Cubano guy/bandmember etc f) a bride (can augment with pregnancy, or tennis shoes) g) Eva Hesse rubber sculpture (warning - very heavy) h) A police sargent (*think up your own name), alternately, a drill sargent i) a blondell (vary with any dumb blonde joke, ie. white out etc) j) a celery stick k) victorian sumpthin or other, a good base for something creatively added, become a pre-raphelite brotherhood painting or whatever. sounds cultish. l) scientist m) a bakery box (cumbersome) n) 60's chick o) 70's chick p) 80's chick q) heavy metal band member r) naked suit s) flapper t) Neil Diamond fan/divorcee u) cowboy v) Long Island iced tea (getting old now) but the skirt is still fun. Furry top makes for cute pet or hooker outfit w) Sophia Loren "AND THERE'S MORE, JUST ASK" Is she not amazing?? Sgt. Donna Puma famously outfitted me and Nancy Drew a couple of years ago as cotton candy for a show at the Revolving Museum. After the crowd had gnawed us clean, leaving only moist, red shreds of cotton candy clinging to our wire armatures, Al Bradley described us as "gingivitis meets Salvador Dali." I wish I had the cotton candy photos on line! Will try to find a scanner. In the meantime, which of the above should I pick for Thursday? Or should I take Sgt. DP up on her offer to create a new costume based on a metaphor? We're considering getting five more people and going as all the multiple intelligences. Sgt. DP would be kinaesthetic, and run around grabbing people. I would be visual and draw my conversations on a big, annoying pad. Sgt. DP also ponders: "Maybe I should just be princess and the pee again...Not too exciting but after a few drinks, everyone laughs. It's easy enough--I just wear the orange bridesmaid dress and tiara. Need a sample cup, though." I could be Celine Dijon... Okay, here are the final picks, then, and you, reader, vote: * Celine Dijon * Visual intelligence * Celery Stick (or Bloody Mary) * Neil Diamond fan (No bukkake!) All costumes TM Sgt. Donna Puma. 1:05 p.m. - 2002-10-30 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
