Costumes in the Boston Marathon: The World Says Why Not?







I stay at my local track during the BMAR, far away from the traffic and power bar wrappers. If they ever have a Costume sub-group, I would consider entering, though I would have to be carried in a rickshaw or ride a bike. I'm actually not sure I could ride a bike for 26 miles. My nun's outfit would look good, though, I think, although it's easy to replicate and others could outdo me. To really do it right, I'd have to wear my Indian princess getup, and then there'd be no outdoing. I'm sorry to say it's quite tight under and around the arms, since my mother made it for me in third grade. Here it is.









Can you see the hand stitching? It must have come to the floor on me in third grade, but now it's a bit of a miniskirt, though tasteful in all respects (fabulous fringe at the hemline). Maybe I could put patches under the arms. OH YEAH, RIGHT. MAYBE I COULD TAKE UP NEEDLEPOINTING TOO. It wouldn't look bad with the girly shoes I just bought [see previous post, dear reader]. I should also show you that the costume features a red-skinned papoose that goes around the neck, which I don't think I would wear.












Too constricting and I would hate to be bothered by it on Heartbreak Hill. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THAT WOMAN?
SHE'S CHOKING ON A POLITICALLY VERY INCORRECT REPLICA.
WHAT WILL PEOPLE THINK OF NEXT? LET HER CHOKE.

The costume also has a squaw's headband, complete with long braids and feather. What do you think?






Can you see the feather? This is wrong on so many levels, including fashion, that I fear I'd better return this entire get-up to the closet.

GET OUT THERE AND RAKE LEAVES!

NO!

Last round of papers coming in, dear reader. Should be some good bloops.
