OK> In the real world, I am decidedly not a fashionista. I don't even know if I am using that term correctly. I think that, at best, I am occasionally fashionable. But, I may have broken new ground.

Today I came across a picture from a recent Dior fashion show and the headgear *so resembles my lampshade costume.* I even made an appropriately strange kissy face when I wore mine (although not all evening, because then my cheeks would be sore). And yes... Dior's looks more like the model has a spectacularly shiny bucket or thimble on her head, but the effect... really. We're twins. But I upped Dior, yessirree, I had light inside of mine. Dior Schmior.

I'm ridiculously pleased with myself right now, but painfully aware that I need an oversized dress with sequins (or whatever those large button-like decorations are) to be complete in life.

If you have no idea what I am talking about see this and that. I wink in your general direction.

Here is an image from the party.
Credit for the photo goes to: Onno

The evening was filled with leprechauns, wonder woman, WD40 wee willy winky, ladies, a "whore", Lenny Kravitz, Love (an unwieldy-looking heart-shaped costume) etc etc. It felt like being in some sort of twisted Disney movie. But was great fun. Thanks birthday girl!! :)

The best line was definitely: "You are delightful." :P People were using me (as a lamp) to read menus etc Very very funny.

This is my lamp costume for a party tonight. Note that I actually have a light inside... cool eh? ;)

I considered (actually seriously) wearing a t-shirt that said "turn me on" but it seemed a little too obvious. (I also considered decorating the lamp with fake leis.... to be a lei lamp and make the tagline clever.) I'll wait to see who says it first and then buy them a drink.

Was very pleased with my ability to plug it into my belly (I have a very energetic belly). These types of things make me happy. :)
