I'm a Winner!

 
So, it wasn't pretty, but it was worth it.
I went to work in this perfectly acceptable outfit.

 (Side Note:  Do you see the look on Pooh Bear's face in the above picture?  I dont' think he likes my outfit.)

Then, I changed into the outfit below for our IT department's  costume contest.  I was "Dorothy After the Tornado." My nickname was Dirty Dorothy, as a play off of Naughty Dorothy (who would have been considerably more attractive).

To create my costume, I did the following:
--Mashed the dress into wet grass and mulch
--Put wet leaves in my hair and on my dress
--Shredded the bottom of my dress
--Put black X's over the dog's eyes (poor ToTo)
--Broke the heel off of one of my homemade ruby slippers
--Applied lovely mascara and a black-eye
--Did lots of hair teasing and hair spraying
--And the icing on the cake was... applied tooth black-out wax. Oh, so very attractive.

Here's the very flattering picture:
(I'm not even removing the red-eye on this one.  I think it kinda works with the outfit.)

So, what did I win? 
A $250 Gift Certificate to the Apple Store. Yup, 250 buckaroos!
It was sooooo worth it!

I'm off to the office Happy Hour (and back in my NORMAL clothes now!)

Have a great weekend!
