halloween costume

Ms. Swan, Maverick, Akuma and Ken

remember when i contemplated the potential of my future self resembling Ms. Swan? well i made that the inspiration for this year's Halloween costume. we've seen little Ms. Swan and Ms. Swan herself on MADtv. but what might she look like if she were younger? she might wear a more fitting dress sans giant puffy sleeves and surely her hair would be dark. but her sense of style would likely still be lacking. 

i went out on friday night and pretty much nobody had any idea who i was until i told them. and even then some people had no idea who Ms. Swan was. only one person successfully guessed and she had to think about it throughout the night before the lightbulb turned on. oh well! at least i wasn't something generic like sexy cat. or sexy bunny. or sexy whateverthehellelseisgeneric. 

that stupid smile smirk she makes is really hard to do without laughing. i was pretty unsuccessful in executing it.

after years of battling with fireballs and hurricane kicks, Akuma and Ken have resorted to sword fighting in their older age.

am i destined to look like Ms. Swan?

                            

here i present to you a photo of myself at a young age and then a photo of Ms. Swan from MADtv. don't remember Ms. Swan? just check this video. it's hilarious! i grew up watching her every week and laughing my ass off at her Asian antics. 

my cousin sent me this old picture she found of me and the moment i saw this i was dying from laughing so hard. i immediately thought "oh. my. GOD! i look like Ms. Swan!! who decided that a colorfully checkered dress with puffy sleeves would be a good idea?" and let's not ignore the fact that our hair is exactly the same. is this my destiny? am i going to turn out looking like Ms. Swan? are these pictures of Past Me and Future Me? thank goodness for my prime years! Men, it's looking like i've only got a few good years ahead of me, so now is your chance before my smile transitions into that odd open mouthed dumb look. Whoever I Ultimately End Up With, i'm sorry that that's what you're going to have to view for the rest of your life. good thing i'm funny, otherwise i'd feel really badly for you. at least we'll have laughter in our lives. haha!
