I’ve been keeping a blog sporadically since 2002, which is a plenty long time, though sometimes it seems like I’ve kept one for much longer. Back in the day, I used to post on this message board called Hissyfit quite a lot, and sometimes I’ll think, “I know I blogged about that some while [...]

I said something recently about writing more frequently…and once again I did a lot of fun stuff, didn’t write about it, built up a backlog of postable material, got overwhelmed, and will be babbling forth a disjointed and photo-heavy entry…AGAIN.
So. We went to Nebraska this past weekend-ish. We left town Halloween night, did [...]

Yesterday, I was so stoked about my Minnie Pearl dress that I didn’t really go into how I got this rig together.

This past winter, Joel was helping Calvert shift some stuff around in his studio and Calvert sent Joel home with a big ol’ sack of random fabric. [...]

Posted in Costumes and disguises, Fashion, dumb things I have done on Mar 26th, 2009
I’ve decided that I need to find excuses to wear some of my most questionable attire. I think you will agree that the above jumpsuit is one of the most sublimely ridiculous garments ever to have survived the 1970s.
Those bells! Holy moley…this is one out-there outfit.
This one isn’t quite so whacky as the [...]

I think I might have mentioned that I was going to make a belt out of a scrap of bowling alley carpet. I probably posted about it on Twitter. Anyway, I found a little strip of leftover carpet trimmings in a dumpster downtown a few weeks ago, and was inspired to make a [...]

The New Orleans writeups are going to be posted probably Friday or Saturday. Instead, why don’t we re-visit Halloween with a couple of videos from the costumed cyclocross race.

me: “I’m off for lunch…gotta deliver a possum and procure a false beard”
boss: (raises eyebrows) oooh-kay
me: It’s an artificial possum!
The plush possum was a joke gift for a friend, and the beard is part of the weekend’s Halloween Festivities Extravaganza.

I’m going as the Ghost of Fashion Indescretions Past this coming Halloween. It’s overall going to be pretty easy. I had some embarasing old clothes around from my highschool days of the mid 1990s, I can still see out of my glasses from back then and I have absolutely no sense of shame [...]
