Happy Halloween....

I was just leaving the apartment this morning, when I thought, "No! It's Halloween!" and went running back into my bedroom. I riffled through a drawer to pull out my Halloween suspenders (or braces), and put on black clothes. The suspenders are neon orange with black bats. I am fond of suspenders, which I think sexy. (Cf. Captain Jack, or Alan Cade.)

I love costuming, even when it's just little bits of make-up or accessories.

I haven't done any costuming for a while and the only photo of me I can find on short notice (or, er, no notice) is from many years ago, when I made a Guinevere costume from the comic book Camelot 3000 by Mike Barr and Brian Bolland.

When Tom saw me at work this morning, he said, "What, you're not wearing your Batman mask?" "I only wear that when I'm lurking on rooftops," I said, not adding that I'd rather know Batman than be him.

How could I not have known that you were one of the other select few people in the world who know about Camelot 3000?! ai!

And... gad, you look hot.

The gloves. The gloves suit you.

Ok, I'll stop now... unless you want me to keep going [heh].

Glad you liked my costume. Mike Barr saw it, which is cool.

Of course I knew about Camelot 3000. I enjoyed it - especially the art. The idea was cool, too.

It was one of the first comic-books to which I was introduced, as some friends had it in our student days. I thought it was a fun concept, but I was less struck with the art-work. I liked the lesbian Tristan plot thread.

Yes, I liked Tristan a lot. There were parts of the comic that I didn't like, but I don't remember now what they were.
