for all you downton fans . . .

Photobucket

here it is! eighty bajilliion years after halloween, but at least i got a picture up here for all the internet to see! if you watch downton abbey you are probably way more on board with this costume/might have a general inkling of who i am. (i'm sybil! when she's a total badass and wears pants to dinner! a remarkable moment in the series!). if you don't watch the glorious pbs masterpiece though, i'm just a genie. i gave up trying to explain my costume and was content to just agree that i could grant wishes with my giant harem pants. all you uncultured slobs. tsk tsk.

i made the costume, which was super fun and surprisingly not that difficult. breasts always make shirt-tailoring a little more difficult (damn you lumpy fats mounds rising up from my chest and forever shaping the landscape of my upper half! why can't you cooperate?!) but the pants were easy peasy and SO COMFORTABLE. i wish that we wore pants like that all the time. i would seriously be in such a better mood. and, as a result, more altruistic. and therefore a better citizen. can we just all write to the president and have him endorse harem pants?

the magic of this outfit is also the fact that i can rewear it when the new season of downton comes to america. yeah, yeah i know i could illegally download it now. but 1) i am a patriot, 2) i have patience and realize it's worth waiting to support a wonderful television show by watching it in real time on tv, and most importantly, 3) i don't know how to illegally download things. i'm no crazy hacker techie.

what were you for halloween? do you even remember? it was pretty long ago. i don't blame you if it's totally slipped your mind.
