maristuSo... I went to the costume party yesterday. I had a little red riding hood costume made, curled my hair, put on my flamenco shoes (which are black, with small heels and ankle straps, and look very much like something that LRRH would wear, except that it has metal plates on the soles, which meant that I was clacking around the entire night), filled my little basket with red heart-shaped lollipops, and bravely went to a party where I would probably know no more than three people, one of them being my ex-boyfriend who dumped me for a pregnant ex-girlfriend. So yeah. I was predicting disaster. I did *not* expect it to go the way it went.
First off, my ex didn't go. So yay. I was worried I'd get drunk and make a scene, but I didn't really get the chance. I was oddly disappointed by that, though... Go figure.
Second, and most unexpected... I felt like an old lady walking into kindergarden. And let me tell you, that is hard to do while wearing a short red skirt, curly hair and sucking on a lollipop. But really, these kids were *young*. I figured everyone'd be around my age, since the guy that was throwing the party is 3 years older than me. But apparently, the two girls he was throwing the party with are much younger. Either that, or they have really really young friends. Everyone was around 21, and I'm not into younger guys *at all*. I know I *looked* like a 21-year-old (maybe even younger), and I did get hit on by a few of the guys, which is an ego booster if nothing else, but still...
The costumes were extremely fun, though... One of the guys that hit on me went dressed as a baby, complete with pacifier and geriatric diaper. I have to give him props for courage *g*. Another great costume was this really skiny guy, who put on black spandex shorts and a top, and roller blades. I had fun watching him trying to dance with those on... He actually managed okay :)
But the absolute best was a couple that was dressed as the Simpsons, complete with painted yellow faces and big round white eyes. She went as Homer, and put on filling in her white t-shirt and a yellow plastic wig thingy (hard to explain, but it was really cool). He went as Marge, complete with strapless green dress and a blue foam headpiece that always got caught in doorways... I felt very normal in my Little Red Riding Hood costume, although it was well made and looked really cute. Plus, the lollipops made for good conversation starters.
So, I didn't find my Big Bad Wolf. It was more like a bunch of little wolf puppies *g* I did have fun, though... More parties are coming up this weekend. Maybe those will end better.
