Oh Halloween. The one night of the year drag queens get out dressed.
We have a fickle relationship, you and I. Hot and heavy one year, cold and old the next. I was ecstatic about costumes and the whole she-bang back when I was a wee lassie with a candy goal, but alas the curtains have since been pulled back and the great Oz was revealed a fraud. I took me a bit to realize that for the kiddos it was all fun, the sugar high, and dress up...but for more discerning adults it was for fun, disinhibition, and dress less. I, on one hand, have never been one to want to freeze my tuches off. But I do love me a good gimmick in lieu of any serious attempt at seduction [hello, "Miss Most Likely to Crack a Joke During a Choir Concert- 1994"]. So I am often akin to a naive Cady Heron in Mean Girls when she ghouls out for Halloween amongst the leotards and fluffy tails, as I am cheap and hate to plan an outfit in advance, usually throwing on something I own, but remixed. This year was no different, with the decision to dress up occurring approximately 8 hours before actual buffoonery commenced. So after compiling my most obnoxiously colored articles of clothing and raiding my bag of sport props, I was set...

The Overture
Earlier that evening..... Da Bee and her pumped up kicks sets a plan in motion...
Da Bee has spotted Red and her goodies....victory! Or so she thinks...
Red, revenge driven and empty basketed, asks 80s to show her a few swinging moves...
En garde. Such great forehand technique. Always protect the basket.
Da Bee attacks again...but they are not fooled...
Smack down ensues...
Da Bee surrenders for the chance to live and play air guitar another day. The End.
Red. Victorious. 'Finds' her man and so begins the wild rumpus!
