Over the weekend, i attended a charity “April Fool’s Costume Ball” – DJ’d by none other than my friend Joey London, who flew into town on his solar powered Lear Jet to spin tunes for a good time and a good cause. Completely stumped for costume ideas, i pulled an idea from my ass at the last minute, arriving at something fun, yet comfortable enough for a long stint on the dance floor.
A German General officer’s hat (quite similar to the one below) and my favorite party geek toys on my fingers (not to mention a collection of flashing LEDs attached to my hair, and various parts of my clothing)…. Wearing all black, it made for some big fun on the dance floor.
There was a theme to my costume… Unfortunately, only a few folks guessed right away. I was mistaken for a “lost raver” as well as “Madonna”… A “Biker chick with robot hands” was another guess…
C’mon… It wasn’t that hard! Take a guess…
Danced like a machine for 3 hours straight… Great crowd. Youngest person there was probably 30. Oldest? 60’s! Didn’t matter! So very nice to have an opportunity to dance, drum and be “tribal” in a non-club, non-meat market environment.
i hope i never get too old for this… Sheer joy… and playing conga drums with my LED-encrusted fingers? Major trip for those happy hippies who were eating the brownies!
Trailer Park Refugee 
The One-Hit-ler Wonder? The German of the Board? The Nazi Party-animal?
I donno.
I just wanna get down.
On a Tuesday.
*sigh*
dolceii – er, um… close (?). But i agree – i’d rather be dancing. work. sucks.

You sound like one talented broad.
Did you go as an alien version of Sheila E?
~m
~m – not so much talent as it is a state if “i really don’t give a shit what anyone thinks”. Good guess, but no… “Love Bizarre” is her best bit. Especially as covered by Michael Hedges…
“Light fingered Adolf” – available for weddings and Barmitzvahs – tee hee
DP – interesting guess, and i might put that on on my resume, but alas…
Hint: Think “Appliances”. No. Not those kind of appliances…
A nazi cyborg, say 7 of 9 having travelled back in time and having been reprogrammed as a slave to the SS?
BB – ok. if you can’t get it, i’m guessing no one will….
[drumroll]
General Electric!
Fabulous! *applause* 🙂
az – it was pretty clever… although my favorite costume was a guy dressed as the creepy Burger King. Tearing up the dance floor with his creepy, stone-faced magic…
