Halloween: slutty angel/devils/animals/nurses/nuns, horrible hairspray, Salvation Army clothing, weird facial hair. Enough said.

But there were some IC college costumes that shone like the true stars inhabiting them...

1. A professor, midriff exposed, wearing a garish bellydancer outfit (she sounded like she was jangling a huge bag of coins around with every step too!)
2. A hooker? No really, I couldn't tell if it was her everyday clothing or not.
3. A fancy court jester (and virgin?).

But the highlight of my day was early in the morning, driving up South Hill and spotting Ithaca's favorite transvestite David Lisa. I will, out of respect, use gender neutral pronouns (ze/mer)  to describe the sight:

Ze was wearing the usual fishnets and track suit (it was cold too), peddling zer raggedy bike uphill. I smiled at mer, and ze smiled back at me! I thought to myself what a wonderful morning  it was to be alive in Ithaca.

And then I abruptly stopped to let four slutty cats cross the street.
