GlitterBall

Posted by Matthew McEwen

Glitter ball was last weekend and the group went with the "Under the Sea" theme. I really wanted to perform and do a spoof of the Little Mermaid song with bits like "The ice caps are truly melting .. in Dhaka we are getting wet .. they say it's cause "global warming" but Bush says that is a mistake". Well it was all voted down and in a way it was nice not to have all the pressure of the performance ... everyone was much more relaxed. I will say that the costumes were kickin' and people went out of control ... we should have won best dressed but didn't ... it's all a political game anyhow.

A motley crew of underwater animals ..

I made Carrie a shell hat that looked more like ice cream and I was supposed to be a fly 70's Neptune or Poseidon (couldn't quite figure out my motivation) with a denim leisure suit.

Sanne's wire framed seahorse and Kelly as sea "weed"

Justin's fly sail fish (we have the same tailor) and Leon and Elaine as shark boy and starfish girl

Ian's insane puffer fish and Stella's sea hag

Sara's turtle and Issac's narwhal

Jason as the hammerhead ... and Tina's Clown fish

Lauren as a shipwreck and Stephanie as "waves"
I guess this stuff is pretty self-explanatory ...........

Lee Ann as a jelly fish and a shy oyster (Tracy)

(the 3 interns) Amorous dolphins on Beckly and tuna on Jimmy

I pretty sure that's NOT Hitler dancing with Superwoman but anything is possible at the GlitterBall ... the Hashers did a shameless country song act about boobs and dongs (anything less and they would not be hashers)

"we are two wild and crazy guys"

Alice in wonderland

Dave and Carol's group recreated the Sargent Pepper's album cover.


Rick and Heidi danced to the chicken dance and one by one they all expired from bird flu ... very simple and clever.
