Need to feel? Just plug in.

I have always been lacking in the decent costume department for Halloween. Each year the make-up or idea is shitty & that's even if I dress up at all.

Well this year, that is all starting to change. This costume is not likely to win any best of prizes but I still think it is funny as hell.

So here it is. I decided to go as "External Validation"

So Mighty Doll & I went out to the Funhaus for a bit of loud music & lurching around whilst wearing our Halloween get up. I say lurching because it is the closest I come to dancing. She went as a raver zombie! It was hot for sure. All kinds of glowing shit - that strange blue light that seems to put a spell on me every time. She did a great job of looking quite dead with just regular OTC makeup. Her outfit was complete with all the toys a high raver likes to wear & play with.

Other than the mask, I dressed in all new black clothes. That's it. Now this is the part I totally didn't see coming:

HUGE REACTION!

Lots of compliments, lots of complaints, and 2 freak-outs are the result of wearing a piece of cardboard made to look like a Hydro outlet. I have NEVER received this much attention. First, there was a drunk guy on the transit streetcar. Seeing me from behind he slurs,"what the fuck are you supposed to be?" I whipped my head his way & he was genuinely startled. "Awe fuck man, it is so simple. But fuck that its freakin me out. Stop looking at me." So I turn away. THEN the guy sits his drunk ass in the seat directly in front of me! "No seriously dude, stop fucking looking at me!!" "Look buddy, you sat in front of ME."

Seriously like every five minutes or every time I got up to go to the restroom. "Oh my God. That is fucking awesome!"

Really? Thanks. I though it was funny to the point of ridiculous. But Awesome?

And I got kinda high on the attention. There were lots of costumes out there. Sooo much eye candy. But never before have those folks asked if they could take MY picture. Woah.

please do not feed the ego. It would be all to easy for a boy generally ignored for 25 years to go crazy from too much 'cool'. MD said it was rockstar even. Wow dude. Me? Way to make me feel good...

The part that amazes me is that every one else put a lot of effort into their costume or at least their makeup & hair. My mask took 20 minutes to make. Not that it felt cheap but I do feel like either simplicity rocks or they all just tried too hard.

I had a blast with MD as usual. Damn she knows how to have fun. & particularly knows how to make this boy feel beautiful. Then, my dear friends, there was a wonderful breakfast. Followed by... a wonderful breakfast! mmmmm I hate work. but I loooove breakfast.

rockstar... how fun.
