A revolutionary party
By Kate, 18 June 2008
It gives me a little extra confidence to know that in a pinch Neil and I can come up with costumes for Susan B. Anthony & Emiliano Zapata exclusively from items in our closet. Every house needs a costume closet, and ours just happens to be inseparable from our normal one.
Our friend Ash turned 26 and had a birthday party with the theme of “reformers.” I have developed a recent obsession with the suffrage movement of the turn of the century so, of course, I whipped up a Susan B. costume & Neil went for the legendary Mexican reformer, Zapata.
It was great fun and involved a lot of akward white people freestyle rapping about the various characters… which is ALWAYS a good time.
We were also glad to see the revival of the Frida Khalo & Diego Rivera costume.
Happy Birthday Ash. Viva la revolucion siempre.
Cancun countdown
By Kate, 20 April 2008
We are going to Quintana Roo on Cinco de Mayo. Aw-yeah! In true lunatic fashion, my dad had 1 million presents professionally wrapped for a pre-Cancun party. Phew, not I’ve got the perfect hat to pack.
One Evening Lost to the Apollo Bar
By Neil, 29 January 2008
Kate and I have been watching this TV show called ”Lost,” purely for anthropological purposes, of course. We watched all previous 3 seasons last summer during our Mexico trip. We have been waiting about 6 months for the new season to start and all natural disasters and techno-terrorist activities aside it will be happening this Thursday. Never being ones to turn down a good old fashioned theme party (if you recall our wedding was a masquerade ball and Kate’s last birthday a 19th century murder mystery) we are going to our friends Jen and Jeremy’s house for a lost party. I, being skilled in the art of forgery and bursting with free time (about 45 minutes a month) was commissioned to remake a rather prominent candy bar from the TV series, which only exists on the show. So here it is.
If you are an uber-nerd Lost fan too and want to download a copy just click on the links below…you will need to buy ether a Cadbury bar or a Dove bar, print out the wrapper, and then cut according to the crop marks and fold at the dotted lines.
