Her name is S.

[Farmer Ted]

This calls for a group Halloween photo. They'll all oblige and it won't look suspicious at all. Pull out the camera phone and get snapping.

One of my new colleagues, a transplant from somehwere in the midwest (God, I hate the midwest), came in today dressed with his Poo Holes shirt on and a dumb-ass red soul patch on his bottom lip. My response, "yeah, you sure do look like Red Schoendienst, you old bastard."

[Guest Edgy DC]

The funny thing is that she and I are both dressed as eighties characters, so they'll probably ask us to pose together.

[Guest cooby]

She's Cyndi Lauper, right?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nope, good guess.

She actually just stopped by to suggest that we do a duet.

Go Yankees.

[metirish]

] Go Yankees.

Forget the photo, this calls for an intervention...

Is she Billy Martin, with latex ears?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Thanks. Definitely an image to flash on to help me chill the fuck out.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Dammit, post a pic of this chick already!

I can't take it anymore.

St. Peter is from the 80's? Well I suppose he died around 80.

Thing is, it's not the look alone. It's the manner.

Any other guesses as to the costume?

[Benjamin Grimm]

It's gotta be Madonna.

[metirish]

Madonna

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nearly, simulataneous Madonnae.

No, she's not Madonna.

[Valadius]

The woman from Flashdance?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Not Jennifer Beals as Alex Owens.

[metirish]

Mary Lou Retton

or

Joan Collins

[Guest cooby]

Boy George?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Tina Turner?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Meredith Baxter Birney?

[Valadius]

Someone from Cats?

[Guest cooby]

Jennifer Keaton?

[metirish]

Yer one from sixteen candles...

[seawolf17]

Molly Ringwald?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Of course, cooby! It's gotta be Tina Yothers!

Or maybe Rhea Perlman.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Or Danny DeVito.

[Guest Edgy DC]

]Mary Lou Retton

Certainly not.

]Joan Collins

No way.

]Boy George?

Nein!

]Tina Turner?

Well played. More specifically, Private Dancer-era Tina Turner.

[seawolf17]

Or Rhea Perlman sitting on Danny DeVito's shoulders, which would totally win the office costume contest.

[Guest cooby]

Maybe she will do a private dance for Edgy

[Guest cooby]

A very unconvincing Tina Turner just walked into my office, too

[Guest Edgy DC]

S. was convincing. Fortunately for me, she has a stage-quality makeup job going, which, as you might guess, is pretty terrifying up close.
