after some consideration, i settled on being a friend's dream date. it was a tough costume to pull off in terms of dress, because i am not really sure what sort of style her perfect man would have. i went to extremes to seem different from the normal me - styled my hair totally different, more gel, less rivers cuomo-esque clothing. the biggest part of my costume was the performance element. i spent the whole evening asking questions about her, bringing her up in conversation whenever i could. i played down certain interests and personality traits, but that was a little too subtle to be much of a hint. it would have helped if people knew me better to begin with. finally, as any dream date would do, i offered to get her sodas and food as often as seemed appropriate.
i also spent some time at work discussing costume ideas with the coworkers. through some persistence, we succeeded in securing approval of my personal favorite idea. now, sadly, i am having severe trouble tracking down certain elements of my costume. oh, and my phone.
