Borat...and Joe as "God's Gift to Women" ... yehus!
Halloween in Seoul is as eclectic as you can imagine - a scantily clad Adam & Eve, Dr. Bunsen & Beaker, Frank-N-Furter, dwarfed 80's rockers, the game Operation, a fully transformable Optimus Prime (which won the costume contest), and my favorite for the evening - a dancing, axe-wielding, Swedish chicken...classic.
Mee mee...
Not only wearable, but functional...eeexcellent!
Jasmine and foe...
Mia as a human-canvas...it worked well until a random "Jodi" decided all space was taken outside of the center of Mia's face...ha ha!
Scary...the Borat dance
The following work week, Sullivan School celebrated Halloween as well...first with kindergartners, and then after-school kids. I spent most of my time scaring the bejesus out of the little guys in a haunted house that we set up in the studio. Aside from my incisor puncturing through my lower-lip, everything went frighteningly swimmingly (a mishap with the Boogie Man routine...). We had games, pumpkin carving, seed roasting, costume contests, and the mandatory trick-or-treating. A hell of a lot of work, but a nice break from reality none-the-less.
Marie was good enough to rent costumes for us. There's little to choose from in Korean costume catalogues, as Halloween's not that big here - superheroes abound! Muscle suits are loads of fun though...
My Dolphin class and co-teacher Grace (my favorite is evil Andy looking through his even more fiendish-looking stave)
Scare tactics led to attacks of yon knight, the accursed-caped vampire, and the too-happy-to-fight Power Ranger.
Batmans!
