Good idea?

Let me start by saying.. I KNOW if I have to blog and ask if it is a good idea.. it might not be..LOL

Today Lochie and I went shopping and tried to pick up the last of everything we need for the next week or so... no biggie.. some gift tags (opps didn't get any).. some ribbon.. Check.. and a dessert (maybe tomorrow) and .. one costume item each for the birthday party.

Our Characters for the party - Andrew is a wealthy man, who made his money in uncertain circumstance and I.. well I think it becomes clear during the game that I am a brothel madam. Now... a 1920s brothel madam... is not the easiest thing to portray .. and not in one costume piece..LOL

SO GUESS WHO.. went around the shops today looking for inspiration.. I did manage to score a $ keyring for andrew.. it is all pimp daddy diamante thing..LOL we are going to pin it to a tie...

But I was a lil harder to buy for... I told every sales assistant .no thanks.. just looking..LOL until 4 hours, a tired child and sore feet later I gave in and said.. going to a party - REQUIRE an outfit which suggests 1920s madame... hahaha So she suggested a corset.. those of you who know me well know this is just LAUGHABLE... and laugh I did... me.. being me... says... Oh no.. I dont work in the brothel..I am just the madame.. MUCH.... to the horror, disgust and bad looks from my fellow shoppers in the tiny cheap/junk opps i mean costume jewelry store - think what you like ladies.. but i am NOT wearing a corset. haha

So she suggests about 8 cosutme items and in insolation none of them will work. I am a SUBTLE madame.. I need SUBTLE.. so..onwards we go. I got some black beads/pearls...but they dont look RIGHT even tied as the google search images indicate.. I bought a black wig..

Funny story part 2... andrew phones to say he is coming home earlier than expected.. i am YAY oh good.. i need you to sit with the wig on whilst i cut it into a bob..hahaha The things I ask of him! But he was saved that humiliation.. as Lochie wrecked the wig.. it was $7 in a cheap shop (some kinda hippie thing hence it needed cutting) but it is no longer straight and sleek..and it isnt going to be again! i think the case of the incredible 4yr vs the headpeice/doona may have been to blame... grrrrrrr

and I bought an oversized keyring ring... but it is just TOO bit.. maybe I could wear it as a necklace?

Does anyone think it would be in terribly poor taste for me to get some of those *insert face here* fluffy handcuffs.. yes .. yes.. you know the ones I mean.. and wear both of them on one wrist.. ala a bracelet.. I tell Andrew this idea this afternoon and he did very well at NOT going into peels of laughter and said are you going to a *** shop to buy them..I nodded and said probably..LOL I tried some today at a gift/joke store but they were too small. Again he didn't laugh but his face contorted....ALOT

Would that be subtle? Pointed? Poor taste? Kinda fun... I would still be able to cook and prepare the meal...and it should give the right indication!

So.. tomorrow is a studio day, and i was thinking I might get some handcuffs before picking lochie up from school? LOL I hope they have some black ones...

any thoughts?

Lanne I didn't know there was such a thing as "subtle, in good taste 1920's brothel owners" LOL.

ROFLOL...at Anbdrew's reaction! I think I have played this version of the game, not totally sure because there was maybe a teeny bit too much wine involved ;)... I agree with Leonie, don't think they did subtle.

Okay - so I tried to stifle my laughter just a wee bit - but unfortunately it didn't work! Umm - I am no help as far as a costume goes - why not just later on some extra pouty 'love heart' style lips (think Moulin Rogue), and some fake eyelashes, with maybe a feather boa attached somewhere strategically to yourself!

Ditto what Kylie said but keep the handcuffs idea...that would be such a hoot! After all, isn't Andrew your 'sugar daddy'?
