And usually that sends me into fits of joy because it means I get to wear a COSTUME! Here are a couple of my favorites from the early 90's - Me as Kali Ma and me as Medusa. I love getting to dress up . . . and I love taking clothes to bizarre extremes. Almost as much as I love hanging out in a pair of baggy jeans and an old sweatshirt.
But, times change and everything moves in cycles. I've been on a bit of a break from full out costumery the past few years - I've been channeling all that creative juice into other endeavors. Like making moldable foam stamps (more on that tomorrow).
But in the spirit of the season, and recent bloggin' posts, here's a late 90's shot of me and L dressed as the Supreme Geeks for an All Goddess House Party. (L is currently deep undercover as a Suburban Housewife, so I am taking pains here to protect her identity . . . )

bridget, those costumes are inspiring. you have such great ideas & the skill to make them happen. lovely, lovely, lovely!
Those first two are super awesome and perfectly elaborate! I love the extra set of arms whose hands are holding things. If I ever dress up again, I might steal that. :)
Thanks, gl and futuregirl! And feel free to steal - I tried to photoshop out the strings going from my arms to the fake arms on the Kali Ma costume, but you can still see them - and a bad photoshop smudge ;) I used dental floss to connect the arms - it's the sturdiest thread around! (learned that one from my Dad!) So, steal away - and do send me a picture!!
why did you photoshop them out? let us see how things are made! :D
Ok . . . good point!
