Today, for the first time since I bought the mask in my icon in 2006, I wore it for Halloween, along with a pair of black gloves. Specifically to a pizza lunch at the office, where we voted for the best costumes in three categories. I almost didn't get listed, since I had the mask off for eating -- not that I stood a chance in any category. Didn't bring a tail or anything to disguise the rest of my head. I wasn't even clear on whether I came as a plain red fox, Fantastic Mr. Fox, a furry convention attendee, a Venetian carnival attendee, a kitsune, or an extra in an Ylvis music video (somebody did ask what I say).
At least everyone I voted for won. Scariest was a similarly minimalist Jason Voorhees, whom I persuaded to try Michael Myers next year. The best look-alike was a friend of mine as Blankman, whom I probably remember better than most co-workers (he brought a DVD case for reference). Most creative was another friend as "the ocean." She's still wearing a squeaky plush otter on her head at the computer as I type. We also had a mouse and a rabbit, as if to taunt my fox.
I think I'll wear my mask on the bus after work, partly so it doesn't get damaged in my bag. I will have to be alert, tho, since it limits my vision.
