how to win a costume contest
alright...so i was at the 9:30 club on halloween where there was a costume contest. i have a few pointers for you competitive types, after i b*tch a little. now, i am not saying my get up was the most original thing in the world. i was a toothfairy. however, i was a "spatially challenged" toothfairy. meaning i fly into windows, run into walls, and trip over air. this was illustrated by wearing a nose split/black eye, and bubble wrap: headband, (collar) ruff, peplum tabbed skirt and bustle sewn to tulle.
now maybe this wasn't evident, or my fashion design background touches were too "highbrow". my wings were made from hangers, aluminum foil, glitter, sequins and plastic wrap. the hand carved "tooth" wand cleared up any confusion as to what kind of fairy i was. regardless of this, i was overlooked in the competition, instead robbed by a "double dare" team and two pre-pubescent teenage girls in store bought "super girl" costumes. where is the reward for ingenuity here?
luckily, the final 5 were totally decent and deserving. examples of the winners were: paper mache head maggie simpson, dangle from Reno 911, you tube guy (must see), i pod guy, etc. soooo...here are the conclusive rules for winning a costume contest...
1) your costume must be "culturally relevant"
2) you must remain "in character" / play the part
3) it must have an element of "personalization"
maybe next year i should be something more obvious.
but you know what?
f it, i'm going to be a banshee.

making up for lost blogging: THURSDAY
This is a "rap" me and me mate Charlie wrote while watching both the US Open and the Red Sox/Orioles game. The Red Sox won, and it was good clean fun. Below are the disjointed verses (click to make beeg!)
