Merchandise--Costuming

[Dee (Denise) R]

Wow.  Today, I went in search of my final touches for my costume for the
Commuter's Commission/Literary Guild (I'm in the former only because I
haven't figured out when the latter meets to be in both!), and found a
sorting hat you can wear.  It fits me like a witches hat, not like a child,
but it works enough.

I've been afraid to pick up traditional witches hats because of an article I
wrote (under my sur-name, Gypsy Caine, of course!) about "We walk among you"
(I think they're wanting to change the name, but I vetoed their new title
Confessions of a Witch.  I just didn't like that title).  Going to a
Catholic University, I'm trying to be at least partly nice!  I saw this hat,
picked it up, tried it on, and it fit pretty well.  It has to sit in the
back of my head, but .... smiles.

I decided to try to go as Hermoine at first.  Costuming became a bit of a
problem--my "ahem" pillows are a bit too fluffed to fit the cloaks that they
were selling in the Dept. stores (I think the sizes were kids, though...),
and I need the proper scarf, vest, tie, white shirt...etc.  There was no
way.

I'm now creating a hodge podge adult's version of a teacher's outfit.

Here's hoping.  Lol.  I have the wand, a cape (cloak?  All black
vampire's...sighs.  Thanks mom, for buying it for me), the hat, and a robe
with a cowl (which can be removed).  (I think the concept was supposed to be
the grim reaper, or something, but I was getting desperate, and took what I
could find!).

With my cauldron (plastic, replaced the old-orange-toned pumpkin), I should
be an interesting sight to my fellow students!

No one said I had to dance.  Just be there!

Heehee..
