Death was a success! People knew what I was! And now I sleep off the booze.

--- Quote from: Inlander on 30 Oct 2010, 07:19 ---Every day pop star was a great success! The host of the party was sceptical at first and didn't believe I was in costume (which was understandable), but I explained the concept to her and told her to be patient, and the costume would reveal itself. I explained the concept to a few other people during the course of the evening, but even those to whom I didn't explain it picked up pretty quickly that I was constantly changing my clothes.

I tried to pace the changes like the arc of a concert, starting slow, building up to a crescendo of ridiculousness, then cooling down again to the end. Initially I was changing my clothes after every drink, but after a little while it became pretty much whenever I felt like it. All in all I went through ten changes of clothes. The changes, in case anyone's wondering, were:

- t-shirt & chinos (what I'd been wearing all day; I arrived at the party dressed in these)
- suit & tie (I thought that the first change should be very obviously different from the previous outfit, to make it clear to people early what was going on)
- hoodie & jeans (I didn't stay in this for long, it was boring)
- floppy hat, khaki shirt, shorts, gaters (bushwalking atire)
- singlet & shorts
- pyjamas
- thermal underwear (top & bottom)
- suit pants, shirt, & oversized tie-died Chinese waistcoat
- black peaked hat, Hawaiian shirt, & chinos
- t-shirt, red wooly jumper, jeans, & Coopers Dark Ale trucker's cap

The last outfit was the one I left the party in: at that stage I'd used every item of clothing I had on me except for a black woolen beanie and a pair of waterproof trousers. I was wearing a pair of black dress shoes throughout the evening (my normal shoes), apart from when I had on the pyjamas and the thermal underwear, at which times I was barefoot.

I must say, that was the most brilliant idea ever! I'm gonna have to steal that one, but that'll be next year.

As for my Halloween; Friday was spent with my girlfriend. We went out to eat some tasty, tasty Chinese food, and then caught a showing of Princess Mononoke in a nice little Theater. Saturday was spent with her too, and saturday evening was just staying at home playing guitar and chilling, instead of being piss-drunk.

Acting like an adult for once is really nice.

Inlander:
Tonight I am pretending I'm not in the house for Halloween purposes. There's only been one knock on the door from (presumably) trick-or-treaters, and it's getting towards ten at night now so there won't be any more which is a relief. It's not that I don't want to give children lollies and make them happy - it's just that in Australia you never know how many trick-or-treaters you're going to get, and I've only been living in this area for a couple of months so I don't know how many trick-or-treating aged children there are around here, and I hate waste so I didn't want to go out and buy a whole lot of lollies and then have them all left over because nobody came around because frankly I don't enjoy eating cheap Halloweenish lollies so I'd have to throw them out if there were any left over.

So it just seemed easier to pretend not to be at home.

Nodaisho:
Harry gave me an idea. Next year, when I go as Death, I'll have quick-apply, quick-remove facepaint for the face, and dress as Chuck Shuldiner underneath the robe. That way I can quick change, and no matter which one I am when someone asks me who I am, I can say "I am death".

Lummer:
Oh goddamnit Nodaisho I love you now.
