WITH Halloween upon us, I know you are like me and wondering where to find that perfect costume. Haven't pulled mine together yet, but did find at the Hollister store in Soho, this perfection of the Lifeguard look. (Rescue me.) Actually, their job was to stand outside the store (entrance) all day. Taller lifeguard said, "It's cool. We get time off for castings." (Model!) I would've put up a picture of him with his eyes open but there weren't any.
SO back to the topic of Halloween. I was having coffee at the
Wyckoff Starr in Bushwick on Sunday and two things happened: First, I saw the counter guy wearing the coolest head wrap ever. It was a white, sort of chunky fabric which I couldn't identify smoothed over his head snugly and tied in a tight bun at the nape of his neck. After staring for a bit, I got the courage to ask. He said he made it from an old pillowcase he wasn't sure what to do with.
I know it would be better if you had a side view of this radical creation, but of course when I started asking questions and taking pictures, the little cafe filled up with caffeine junkies forming a line to the door. Fortunately, a second great thing happened--the other counter guy's
Mickey Avalon tee shirt! I totally remembered that from across a crowded dark room I could pass for Mickey Avalon. (Flattish, curly brown hair) (Thin arms). The real giveaway, though, between us would be that I do not have a large tattoo across my chest of a bird.

SO while it would be fun to be a Hollywood rapper for Halloween, I think this one requires hairy pecs and body ink. (Maybe I could be Snoop Dog.) Though if you know the words to Avalon's "Mr. Right", he says he rides in a black Sedan with two woman of questionable innocence and a Mexican. Now if I could just get three other people to do a group costume with me.
