ok guys so the P has been decided!! although perez hilton WOULD have been a bomb idea but highly underappreccccciiiiiated. just like weaving all night and saying i was Penelope of the Odyssey would have been underappreciated. but thanks, ivan. sad to say, both penelope and persephone would have gone over the mich people's heads. Anyways after much deliberation i had narrowed it down to a few key ideas
1) pink power ranger - a costume that requires a bit of strategy but this is no biggie for a seasoned costume veteran like myself
2) pinata - wasn't really sure how i would do this
3) Cracked out penelope cruz in "Blow." Just eeemagine i could run around in a fur coat and gold heals yelling "mother fuuuuuckkkerss!!!!" with a columbian accent. Again, this might be over their heads. Today i made a reference to "when harry met sally" and it was over their heads
4) Pee Wee herman - I'm thinking suit, bow tie, slicked back hair. all pretty standard second hand store fare.
well we went out to half off wine night at some "italian" restaurant. Olive Garden is more italian than this place. But it was good people. Anyways ozan brought his pseudo girlfriend of the whole "my boyfrien dhad a seizure" variety and i was running my ideas by the two of them and she, being the artsy stanford alum had a brilliant idea. so she got really attached to this whole Pinata concept and was like "you can just wear leg warmers and sweaters and bright colors in stripes all over and throw candy from your belly." I took it to the next level by adding that i could throw candy from a hot pink fanny pack attached to my belly. ozan took it to the next level by adding that i should wear a birthday hat. done and done!!
leg warmers + armwarmers + bright mexi colored sweaters + covered in COLORES + birthday hat + candy being thrown from hyper colored fanny pack = PINATA FUN FOR EVERYONE!!
OH SHIT THAT RHYMES TOO!!
*** Upon consulting wiht bobby he has just taken to the next level. I will also spend the night speaking only in Spanglish and when people spank me then and only then will i throw candy at them. Holy crap it's gonna be like every fucking Birthday party i ever had growing up! i was mexican before it was cool to be mexican, namely being that i was mexican and had pinatas before the mainstream had pinatas. back when it was just a burro and not a barbie or finding nemo fish, and before having a burro was retro. guys this may be the best costume yet!
************another update...emily just took it there. we're talking fringe and ruffles of some kind....oh yes, she took it there.
do you think i need a sticker that sayd "i <3 Guadalajara"?? haha mexican joke!

your fanny pack should contain one or more of the following items
1.a blindfold to put on people and spin them around
2. Truly mexican candy - like mango and chili powder. Mr. Bubble is really the man in this circumstance.
3. Glitter. Because.
I am Psych-ed on your behalf.
I on the other hand am being cajoled into dressing as LC from Laguna Beach with a friend who wants to go as Jason. If that doesn't cause a mini-vom, I don't know what will.
