antici-pation

it would be, quite possibly, the understatement of the year to say that I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT HALLOWEEN! not only does the annual Halloween Blowout beckon, i've also got the most rockin' costume in bloody years! exclamation marks for everyone!

let me give you some backstory on halloween and me (i'll try to spare you the desultory gushing in lieu of actual coherence). it's the best friggin' non-holiday ever! i'm going as columbia from rocky horror! sequins for everyone! (okay, i did say try, not succeed.)

speaking of, this is the first year in many in which i'm doing a solo costume. a breakdown: the scope for tandem deals is limited, but oh-so-much more entertaining. if nothing, tandem costumes make for much easier identification. for the ubiquitous man in uniform, having a jeannie around makes good the protestations of creativity. for every not-quite-there gypsy, a lurching quasimodo by the side clears things up right quick. in contrast, solo costumers really have to go all out to be identified (i.e. definitely no "daughter from american gothic" this year).

this is probably also the tenth or so time i've tried to persuade my flavour of the month to accompany me as dr. frank-n-furter to a party and failed. i just don't get it. men! be less afraid of bondagewear and pearls! or, in the alternative - i won't tell anyone you own a garter!

an aside: ahh.. i have quite the mad on for tim curry. still waiting for the day my tim curry themed Halloween Blowout idea is made manifest by The Powers That Be. think about it. no, seriously. it's a fantastic idea. the man has played/voiced, amongst other things, king arthur, satan, gomez addams, ebenezer scrooge, a(n awesome) butler (in an awesome show), william shakespeare, captain hook, pennywise the incredifreakyshit clown, and a sweet trans-vestite from transsex-ual transylvani-a (i was totally singing that, i know you know, and i don't really care). tim curry occupies a great part of that hollow space where my heart should be and i have much transferrable love for anyone who'll dress up like him and sing for me.

anyhow. columbia the groupie am i, sans love, lover, and nifty solo tap dancing introduction sequence (although one or more of the above may cease sans status by the end of the night as a result of excessive martini chuggage).

in case you're not already salivating in envy, let me just cap all this off with a mention of how actively involved i was in the movie, music and munchies committee this time round - and blow me billy if the selections don't rock the scary pants right off of ya. everything looks set - it's gonna be a night of great, campy fun, of a thousand grace notes (some of them screams) and it's going to be fanfrikkintastic! candy for everyone!
