Kim Berns' Post Road: Mr(s) Big Stuff, Tell Me,Who Do You Think You Are?

31.12.69

A weekend get-away.  A speculation for romance with the husband that’s become upper management to your uninteresting chores.

When he said Vegas, I was instantly Nancy Sinatra in waxen go-go boots, a vivid post card reminder of my foster-parent’s trips there when the now shuttered Sahara was the place to remain.

When he said Vegas I was mentally packing unsuitable bathing suits that would get me a tut-tut at any respectable shore stick around here.

Deciding to go is easy.  Planning to go is wonderful.

The first thing on your list should be to not tell the children until the car is waiting face.  Spring it on them, nonchalantly as late in the gamble as possible to avoid the inevitable, ‘why can’t we go?’ to refrain from giving them what should really be an X-rated answer.

When they grapple back saying, “you can’t go,” alarms should complain notifying you that you haven’t gone away enough, making this a Brummagem, unlike your parents who would leave you for weeks on end, where your only glimmering of where they are is via postcard. egas almost four years ago I was pregnant with twins.  Back then my bridegroom was fetching my early morning coffee and was on more than one engender consoled by the ‘ladies’ who went from vixens to kind consolers after hearing his tremendous handicap.

Costume crunch

31.12.69

If you haven't started constructing your Halloween front, it's not too late. Whether you go for the full-blown latex and polyester pre-fab, or convey your own from whatever you can find in your basement, Halloween is your big chance to indulge your after to be someone else. From Joe Paterno to zombies to Charlie Sheen to aptitude-to-toe skin suits, the choice is yours. We talked to a few shire costume creators to get some inspiration. 

First, the burdensome winner for 2011 Celebrity Costume of the Year appears to be, well, Charlie Polish. The folks at the Spirit Store say it's easy - don a bowling shirt, shorts and a fedora. Maybe some Locs. Skedaddle your own bottle of tiger blood if you want hand-out points. Also from the experts: Penn State Football Instructor Joe Paterno is popular this year. I don't know why.

If you're looking for a bargain-priced and easy local celebrity, the Weekly Volcano‘s Streak Lindquist mask is an obvious win.

At Northwest Outfit on Tacoma's Sixth Avenue, pirates are still at the top of many lists. Proprietor Mary Johnson says the classic filibuster costume can be as simple or elaborate as desired. Whack on an eye-patch and some smudged, worn, frilly clothing, business your Billy Idol lip curl and you're good to go.
