Last year, I asked for SDMB help with a Purim costume and somehow ended up as the sun. For a given definition of “sun”. Basically, I arranged some red/orange/yellow/ish scarves into a headdress, then spent the day confusing the heck out of people. “Okay, so what are you… an autumn tree? Modern sculpture?”
I got the tree comment enough times that I decided, hey, with a little modification I totally could be a tree. An actual recognizable tree. So now I have a (much nicer) headdress of leaves that I just finished sewing. Come Purim (that’s tomorrow night, for those of you not keeping track) I will wear all brown and have my leaf hat on and I will be a tree.
I wrote a little play for my Sunday School class(second/third graders) based on the story of Esther. Of course all the girls wanted to be Esther and wear the crown, but I gave a lot of scenery chewing to Haman as well.
Sounds like a great costume! Good for you. You went out on a limb and decided to branch out a little. Now your creativity has really taken root. Stick with it!
Sorry, guys, my mind’s been a bit confused lately. Purim Sunday night. Today is the Fast of Esther, which is usually right before Puriom but never on a Shabbat or Friday. I have not been completely with it at all times.
Probably.
I don’t like putting pictures of myself on the Internet. Would it be okay if I just showed the hat?
