Well I REALLY do have to sign off now but I have a REAL costume story to leave you with ... Below Court Room Pumpkin attire Court Room scene more a possibility. Here goes: At winter holiday season I buy or have made for my husband & I many gift packages consisting of cookies, candies & such - prewrapped in pretty all faith inclusive pretty settings. In my car I then place labels & at each stop driving myself or being driven put one on with whatever notation appropriate. The recipients include doctors, vets, hairdressers, dry cleaners, any place that myself & family frequent during that year [of course those more personal given grander present as well]. So any way a few years ago I had to be at a very important bank meeting - after was meeting hubby for a dinner party so was quite nicely dressed including as it was winter my full length mink coat. In my car was what I call my Louis Vuitton reindeer ears because they are the brown & tan colors of that couture label. Theses have bells inserted as well. I put them on at each stop thinking it cute to have a Jewish couture dressed Jewish reindeer deliver holiday goodies. As such I entered the bank where I was a bit late for that important meeting - which I was the principal subject at by the way. I handed one goodie tray to the manager & took a second with as they quickly ushered me to a huge conference room - I was shown to the seat at head of a large round [just like in the movies] room size conference table. My coat was taken, coffee placed in front of me & my goodie tray gratefully accepted. The meeting went on for about 30 minutes at which point I felt marginalized because of a remark insinuating my married status allowing me more time to concentrate on the huge sums being discussed [you know that old you have a husband to support me bullshit]. I stopped everyone, leaned forward & dramatically shook my finger stating protest - Oh my - at that point I heard my reindeer ears jingle loudly. I was NOT embarrassed but instead dismayed that no one had bothered to mention my head attire. I laughed & asked when exactly someone did or did not notice the ears ... Answer was something like they each thought I wanted them on during the meeting. MORAL: When you are at the head of the table ladies no one cares what the hell you are wearing or at least they pretend not to!!! #TRealLife
