Way Back Wednesday

Because I'm easily influenced by peer pressure. And because now I won't really have to think too hard about my Wednesday posts.

Let the public humiliation begin:

Ok - lemme 'splain . . .

I believe I've already mentioned my affiliation with the Rich-Tones. Ok - so most every year, we do a Christmas show. Last year, we all dressed as toys. Some were more . . . creative than others.

The above photo is me with my former quartet, Alibi. Yes, that IS a giant dreidl. And no, as much as I'd like it to be so, I am NOT the gorgeous brunette on the far left.

Yes, my left eye is closed. And yes, it's closed on purpose. Taped down, in fact. And that's a ginormous false eyelash there below it (and above the other one - duh). Remember the old baby dolls with the eyes that closed when you laid them down? Remember how, after a while, one eye never would open? It always stuck closed?

There ya go.

Yes, my mind is twisted to have come up with this idea. And yes - the most fun part of the entire day was the looks I got from parents & kids alike . . . I think they all thought I was either an alien or permanently paralyzed. Quite funny, actually.

Ripping that tape off my face after many hours in one place . . . NOT so funny.

There's a longer story behind how I came up with the idea to do this in the first place . . . but that's for another time. For now, let's just say that my only regret about this choice, besides not planning on the pain of the tape, is the choice of pajamas - and the decision to NOT wear the "proper undergarments" underneath.

Oh - and the wig color. I am SO not a blonde.
