art’s birthday
Sunday, January 18th, 2009Yesterday was Art’s Birthday. Not the guy, the concept. There were a few events around town to mark the annual occasion, including one at the Winnipeg Art Gallery which was out of our price range. So my pals and I celebrated at the Royal Albert Arms for VideoPool’s blowout.
First we had to make costumes.
Chantal designed this number that reads “Art Is a Man’s Name” with some puffy rosettes at the hem.
Here’s me in the zebra and Ruth in the blue leopard. I made us our awesome masks. I think from now on I’m going to be adding feathers to everything. The zebra print dress is actually just a fabric tube that I picked up at the Bay garage sale (yes, that again!). I made the obi-style belt and naturally the teal tights were already in my everyday wardrobe.
As for the event itself, I’ll just leave you with some photo montages. My photography was not particularly stellar but hopefully you can get some of the idea of the wonderment.
