chickens and red feather boas

okay, so you saw the velociraptor on saturday.  but now you need to see a couple of chickens:



my costume = $1 pair of yellow socks + $5 pair of yellow tights + $5 pair of white shorts + shirt i already owned + $4 native american headdress that i cut in half an stapled to my shirt to use as wings + $3 beak.  glorious.

i am standing her with my fellow chicken, played by willis.  willis, who used a red feather boa to accentuate his chicken costume and then walked in a parade in front of approximately 500 students, parents, and faculty members.  i jumped up and down in excitement when i first saw willis in his costume.  i also stopped counting the number of times during the parade that people looked at us, opened their eyes REALLY WIDE, pointed, laughed, and then took a picture.  direct quote from willis: "i didn't think my costume looked gay at the time.  today i saw the pictures and realized i was mistaken."  yes, willis, yes you were.

the best part about working with one of your best friends: wearing homemade complimentary costumes to work on halloween.  so. much. fun.

  2. The rest of America is probably not having as much fun at work.
