I was looking at Halloween costumes at Target the other day. Thea wants to be a kangaroo, and honestly I have no idea how to make that happen. Nylonthread and I are going to get together and see what we can whip up for the kids (she sews, I glue), but first I need to know what a kangaroo costume even looks like.
I was flipping through the adult costumes and came across this costume of a tiki drink. Someone wore it at last year's work Halloween party, and I thought was the most clever costume ever. I went up to her and said, "Hey, great costume! Are you a zombie?" She looked at me like I was the stupidest person she had ever seen and said with mild contempt, "No-wuh. I'm a mai tai," and then turned her back on me to talk to someone else.
Because I'm a total cocktail geek, I feel the need to point out that a mai tai is served in a double rocks glass, not a tall glass. So a zombie would not only be funnier, it would also be more correct.

When zombies attack

Hmmm, I'll bet we can do a kangaroo! Based on that "use a sweatshirt, polyfill, and fabric glue" concept, I'll bet two khaki sweatshirts would do the trick.
And that's totally hilarious. Of course she was a zombie! Very dull of her not to know that.
omigod is there anyone in the universe more charming than you?! I just don't think so.
Who wouldn't want to be a zombie? That's just WRONG.
Plenty of kangaroo outfits here. I'd be worried about the tail dragging off.
I remember one Halloween my brother put on a trashbag covered with Tegrin Medicated shampoo and went as a condom. If I could dress as a cocktail, I'd be a Harvey Taint Puncher, because that's just how I roll.
you've given me an idea. perhaps if i dress up, i will dress up as a mojito. i am what i drink.
The tiki costume/zombie mask combo would eliminate any possibility for error.
We should have a party where everyone dresses as their favorite cocktail. I'd be an El Diablo, of course.
Thanks for the Kangaroo links! The one with the boxing gloves is CUTE.
I went as Static Cling one year. Dark shirt, dark pants, and I safety pinned socks to myself. I though I was hilarious.
HA! I may have to steal that.
