What did you go as?

I actually loved Heidi Klum’s Kali outfit that V.V. blogged about. If I was wealthly enough to afford putting together something like that I’d be all about it. My costume from this past Friday night only cost $15 and I had to make it myself.

Before you ask, nobody tried to open the access panel and rig votes (not that it wasn’t encouraged). So here is the deal. If you are a reader of this site and wore a costume on Friday night that is either related to the election or to anything with a desi connection (like Klum’s costume) then please email me at abhi [at] sepiamutiny dot com and I will paste the picture in this post. No, if you wore a sari that doesn’t count as dressing up. As for me, I’d hate to throw my costume out. I am wondering if on Tuesday I should just go stand really close to and in front of people, just to see what happens.

  1. I was Joe the Plumber, and my dumbass friend left his camera in a cab at 5am, so unfortunately I don’t have pictures.

    However, if you were in the Village on Friday night, you may have seen me (plunger and toolbox in hand with a sign saying “Joe”), and my pictures are in at least a dozen random people’s cameras.

    I feel like murdering my friend.

  2. i know these indian and asian dudes who wore orange jumpsuits and went as harold and kumar.

  3. We went as Ph.D. students who were too poor to afford a &$(#)@!! costume.

    One of us is one IRL though, so don’t think it counted. 🙂

    Best costume of the night was the girl dressed as the bath pouf.

    Saw lots of faux-ethnic costumes, including about 983482 “Mexicans,” 3 or 4 “Chinese,” and even a guy in blackface (!!!) Yes, I live in the South. No Indians though, even in Bobby Jindal’s state.

    Is your friend named Wurzelbacher?

  5. open the access panel and rig votes (not that it wasn’t encouraged).

    they were probably wary of the malfunctioning software underneath.

  6. i was obama girl for the night and my guy was joe six pack (he had an awesome costume)! i don’t have the pics yet…

  7. Dang, I missed this one. I went as a two-bit Sarah Palin – a post-Election hungover Palin.
