Recycled Couture Takes Minneapolis by Storm
We went to the Recyclaholics party last night and as usual good times were had. The Mess managed to keep her boobies tucked into her shirt this year and she even made a vest out of US Weeklies for extra reinforcement. jL looked like a fairy princess in her packaging materials dress.




The little circle thingys on this romper are made from old detergent jugs.

After the show, we decided to head over to Nye's to grab some drinks and dance (polka, of course) with miscellaneous men. Good times. Of course people stared at us like we were from Mars. We made up different stories about why we were dressed like freaks, and we received numerous compliments on our get-ups. I only saw one person I knew from school and I quickly covered my face with my hands, so hopefully did not recognize me.

Luckily, The Mess keeps a microphone in her car so we could sing along with the Pretty Woman soundtrack on our way to Nye's.

So who won???
And why are you wearing Wicked Witch of the West stipped socks under your dress?
Also, someone from work wants to know why you didn't wear the Shamumu to the Halloween parade.
Greta wore the Shamumu to a party and broke it (I suspect the whole thing was a set-up).
So, FIL doesn't owe you any money, because you didn't burn it, right?
Still waiting for an answer to the WWOTW sock question.
And who won??? I can't find an update on the web.
WWOTW?
An old lady won. She made a jacket out of velvet scraps and a crazy hat out of printer ink containers. There might be a picture if you link through from the craft conspiracy site.
Did she make an outfit for the party or were these her regular clothes?
WWOTW = Wicked Witch of the West, as in, "Why were you wearing WWOTW socks under your dress?"
I know what I'm talking about; it is just so sad that I'm usually the only one.
