The flower spreading sunshine sounds so ...LOL, Pam! The flower spreading sunshine sounds so wonderful ... and, yes, who hasn't had their Joan of Arc moments? That's the one that made me laugh. When I was a kid, I actually took Joan as my confirmation name. Do not ask me what possessed me or what I saw in her. It must have been her bravery. It certainly wasnt the end she came to. If I were dressing up after offending someone, I'd come as Limburger Cheese from the line in the Farmer in the Dell, "The cheese stands alone." Of course, I cannot imagine I'd have much fun at a Halloween party, given how people would run in another direction from the stench!

Lately I feel like my friends would dress me like Joan of Arc and burn me at the stake!<BR/><BR/>I think I'll dress like a tree and leaf (leave)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883517659006855297.post-62623102922893843512008-10-25T14:52:00.000-07:002008-10-25T14:52:00.000-07:00Thanks for your hilarious response, Pop Art Terri!...Thanks for your hilarious response, Pop Art Terri! Yes, the "flasher" neighbor was lucky he didn't lose his cheese balls. And, of course, inquiring minds would love to know how her friends would dress up the Pop Art Diva. Do come back with an update. Lower body as a martini stem makes my point about the difficulty of executing those inanimate object costumes! You could build the whole thing on a skateboard, since a Martini would be kind of tipsy turvy ... but I guess that might be kind of dangerous. Still, it'd be fun to figure out!Joyce Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462878902674014180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883517659006855297.post-3187409162521621902008-10-25T09:37:00.000-07:002008-10-25T09:37:00.000-07:00I think I would dress you up as Amelia Earhart - a...I think I would dress you up as Amelia Earhart - a pioneering adventuress who flew boldly into a man's world and conquered it - then got lost, lol!!!<BR/><BR/>I don't think I want to know what costumes other people would put me in! I have discovered that my view of myself is quite different from how others see me. But then most people judge others fairly superficially and only our closest friends know enough about us to be able to put the right fantasy costume on us!<BR/><BR/>Here are some of my costumes from the past: As a child I remember being a little <A HREF="http://popartdiva.blogspot.com/2008/10/trick-or-treat-smell-my-feet-give-me.html" REL="nofollow">Turquoise Bunny</A>, a clown, a purple witch and Wonder Woman. As an adult I have been Fall, The Ice Queen, Adam AND Eve and Darth Vader in Drag to name some of the more elaborate ones! In the future I think I'd like to be one of the performers from Cirque Du Soleil, Indiana Jones or anything that allows me to wear a feather boa and my tiara. I also think it would be fun to try to make a costume based on a famous classical painting - but at my age it will not be The Birth of Venus by Boticelli - maybe something from Rousseau, lol!<BR/><BR/>I love the Cocktail Party concept! And yes, Miss Joyce, I have thought about turning myself into a Martini as a costume - and not just for Halloween but for my <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/themartinidiva" REL="nofollow">martini making videos</A> that I do on YouTube, lol. I'm just trying to think how I could walk around with my entire lower body wrapped up as a skinny martini glass stem!<BR/><BR/>I think most people would like to put me in a witch costume! But I'm going to e-mail people and ask just to see what they say! Should I come back here and post it later, lol?<BR/><BR/>BTW, your friend with the trenchcoat, salami and cheese balls was lucky there was not a large family dog like a shepard or a Rotty at that door!!!!<BR/><BR/>PopArtDiva aka The Martini DivaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883517659006855297.post-72926640339645752782008-10-24T18:49:00.000-07:002008-10-24T18:49:00.000-07:00What a fabulously fun post in celebration of Hallo...What a fabulously fun post in celebration of Halloween. It's one of my favorite holidays and I always enjoy a good sugar high.<BR/>As far as costumes, I can picture you as a delightfully wild and wooly flapper--as our dear Antie Mame would have been. You'd be dressed in sequins and fringe and sporting a bright purple boa. For sure, you'd be the bee's knees in that getup!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883517659006855297.post-16894809753018769292008-10-24T13:20:00.000-07:002008-10-24T13:20:00.000-07:00Great exercise.
