ACK

Yesterday, I called myself a postmodern Cathy. I just need larger speech bubbles to be able to fit "Split Subjecthooooods!" Rather than a chocolate obsession, it's rambling about locovore food angst. Insecurities dramatized on the internet rather than the dressing room.  My alienation might be different, but the sweat beads are just the same.

A Great Costume

I had been planning to be CATHY (from the comics) for Halloween. But this looks SO COOL. 
I'd really like it if other people went as comic strip characters. But, not Doonesbury. I hate Doonesbury Anyone from the Peanuts gang or Haggard the Horrible would be welcome.

The other day Clancy and Joe and I were talking about sexy-unsexy Halloween costumes. The whole idea is you can make an utterly unsexy thing into a clever Halloween costume by making the sexy version of it. It's supposed to be making fun of the way that squares treat Halloween - an excuse to wear underwear for clothes by calling it a costume or putting on bunny ears. Which is fine, but not very smart or funny and a real waste of a costume tradition. In the sexy-unsexy category, some past highlights for me include Sexy Gallagher (complete with an inflatable hammer and a miniskirt with suspenders over a giant shirt -no big couch) and from this year, Sexy Mr Peanut.

Clancy said that Cara did sexy Garfield, which is a real gem.

Then it hit me, the greatest sexy unsexy to date - THE SCREAM MASK.

Slash that dumpy robe into a sexy tank dress, put some fake eyelashes on those haunting black pits, and smear some red lipstick all over that pouty ghost mouth - IT IS TIME TO GET FREAKY



it really does look like an 'O-FACE'
