The third annual Age of Augustus toga party was held this year on Boathouse Row. I had never heard of this charity event but the Colonel insisted I come along. (glad I did in hindsight) Yes, people did actually throw on some sheets and get 3 sheets to the wind. I was hoping for a breeze to come along due to the heat and because some of the ladies had quite short togas. (none of these women talked to me)
I had rush around to get ready because I didn't have the makings for my costume. Luckily all it takes is a white sheet and some rope for a belt. Now I went the extra distance to create a wreath crown. Just some wire and grape leaf garland but I rocked it! Jekyll gave me some leather bracers to wear too. So we had a good time, had plenty to eat and drink, took some nice photos - all of which got lost. I also have to apologize to whomever has a photo of me giving them the finger on their camera. You left it unattended on the table and well... I was drinking. It could always have been worse.
So I present the photos of me at the party.
The back of my head is so sexy they took two pictures of it. Like I said the rest are gone. Maybe I should have approached the ladies walking backwards? Surely they would have talked to me then.
Dear Jabberwocky, Why the hell are you wearing a t-shirt under your toga? More women would have spoken to you if would have worn it the traditional way. Have you ever seen a greek statue of man in a t-shirt? Next time, please consult with me before going out.
ReplyDeleteLet me adjust my geek hat and clear my throat... -ahem-
ReplyDeleteIt was typical of the style for one to wear a tunic under the toga. The toga being your fancy dress clothes while the tunic was more functional around the house. The t-shirt was my best attempt in the short time I had to function as a tunic. Plus, I don't believe anyone will be making a statue of me anytime soon. However, I will take you up on your offer of fashion consulting in the future.
Thanks for visiting. :)
Jaberwok, Just a Passing thought ~
ReplyDeleteI hope you know , In "Animal House " Underware was not worn either ! Luvstodohair
Point taken. Alright next time I will go commando and have a freeballing good time. I have to run it by my fashion consultant however. I mean the idea not anything else. Get your mind out of the gutter people.
