Writer’s Block: Life is a masquerade
I am, though I’m not yet sure what I’m going to wear. A lot of the costumes I’ve been wearing to cons lately just aren’t especially appropriate for work (though I got away with one of them at my last job, years ago). Last year I wore a Starfleet uniform to work, and it went over well, but I’d hate to repeat the theme.
If a costume has to be made, I plan four or five months in advance – the more lead time the better. If I’m planning to buy, more like a month. As I’ve sucessfully (if sloppily) constructed my first garment on a sewing machine, I have the option of making my own from now on, but it turns out that’s nearly as expensive as a commission or a purchase, these days – who knew!
I do like to surprise folks with my costume choices when I can. What can I say? It’s the thespian in me.
EDIT: Just noticed that Halloween’s on a Saturday this year, so the whole “dressing up for work” thing is moot. 🙂

Nope, all the elements of that costume are long gone, unless one counts the crutches that I still have. Even the bunny ears have not survived!

2 years ago – when I was briefly working in an office – I dressed up as a witch for halloween. Using a skirt and shirt I would normally have worn to the office (black) I added black and white stripe socks, short boots, and a large fabulous hat I had bought. My office was situated right at the top of the stairs. Everyone paused at the top of the stairs as they caught sight of the hat. The socks went unnoticed until the end of the day when we were in a meeting. I would say it was a success.
This year – i’m off on Halloween – though I have dressed as a pirate, witch, and wench while working at the bridal store. I even wore the thigh high boots to work with the pirate costume! I will dress for the trick or treaters. I’m thinking I’m going pirate – in the pirate coat I made for Stef and Shondra’s wedding.

That sounds like a pretty cool look, in fact. One of my co-workers thinks I should still wear something on Friday; I’m considering digging out some of my own pirate gear.
