Costumes of life

[Giggly_Giraffe]

Today I have the privilege to dress in a blue tu-tu skirt, Cinderella tee-shirt, and hair in a ballerina-bun. Today, my costume is Cinderella Mom. So, after ballet, I took the girls to Mc Donald’s a little hesitant about being in a costume.

Turns out as I sit in the middle of a hullabaloo play center watching the parents … We are all dressed in costumes. I see a grandmother in her eighties wearing a leapor print jacket (pretending to be a cat). Her son who is with her is dressed like Steve Jobs (black long sleeve top & jeans) … Next table is the sporty couple who are wearing sports jerseys and hoodies … Another table has a hip grandmother who styles her hair like Faira Fosset … And there is a biker dad dressed in leather … We also have the mom’s who are dressed a little too immodest (& I can see her but crack ) … Surprisingly, there is only one mom who is in sweat shirt (I don’t care) mode. The more I think about it … The more I wonder if we really can identify who we truly are without a costume.

Priests dress in costumes, police men dress in costumes, firemen, doctors, engineers, astronaughts, ballerina’s, artists, athletes, horseback riders, motorcycle riders, cyclets, professional, politicians … We are all playing dress up. Why are we so needy to play dress up our entire lives?

Well, given that human society doesn’t care much for the nekkid human body, it doth behooveth us to play the game

I am not sure what you are asking. Also, where the people you described just wearing their everyday clothes and you assigned a character to them?

For most of these examples there is a functional and/or symbolic purpose of the “costume”. Send your astronaut up in a tutu and you’ll work out the answer to your question.

Actually, we used the amazon box he diapers came in to build a rocket ship and then wore our tu-tu’s up to space. Someday, we may well indeed be able to wear our tu-tu’s into space!
