Back to the Duck Dodge yesterday, where the theme was "
Sesame Street." It doesn't take much for me--an overgrown kid with a daughter as an excuse to relive my childhood--to conjure up that place "where the air is sweet." Getting a costume together in a pinch was much harder. I knocked around being the
Count, but I had no cape. So, in a pinch, I put on the fringed buckskin shirt of my Berkeley days and said I was
Buffy St. Marie; remember when she actually was a regular on the show, representing for the First Nations? Zanne had much better inspiration and pulled off a very good
Zoe, the pigtailed, ballet-dancing, tutu-clad girl Muppet. Very few other people in the Dodge seemed to be doing anything with the theme, except for this fellow in a very complete (and somewhat disturbing) Bert costume. Dan wore nothing special at all.
