My house, in some important sense, is always decorated for Halloween. I love Ancestor's Moon.

I have a dilemma. I am attending a party tomorrow night, and have not made any moves to prepare a costume. I am actually not certain that it is a costume party. The invitation instructions "be as kinky as you want to be" may call for consultation with BrianR rather than getting a SpongeBob costume at the Walmart ...

Therefore, I need something that is clever, but relatively low key, in the event that I'm the only one that shows up dressed for Halloween rather than an orgy.

I have a full lady pirate outfit from the RenFaire, but in a small space I tend to knock expensive shit over with my sword if I turn around too fast.

I have considered a couple possibilities:

Tie some string to an index card. Write the word "Witch" on it in very fancy calligraphy

I have a teeshirt that has a print of Durer's "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." Since the great majority of the party guests will be city-livin' liberals, I had considered introducing myself, if asked, as the Fifth Horseman ... The Conservative. This, however, is a bit too close to what I wore to a party given by the same gentleman a few years back ... I went as a member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

I could use the same Four Horsemen teeshirt and pick one of the four ... War, probably, because I have a set of OD green BDU pants right here handy. Pestilence might be fun as an alternate, but would require a good deal more playacting, including sneezing, sniffling, and coughing. The equipment necessary to carry off a convincing Ebola is not within my budget. There is no way that I could do Famine, and Death, well, that's been done to Death, so to speak.

BTW, that was a great party.

It was indeed. But I was far less fascinated by the ladies' boobage than you were.
