Four Libras, 18 hours
25Oct2004 Filed under: I Like To WatchIt’s been a long time since I left for a party at 11pm and didn’t get home until 5pm the next day. Witness the Four Libras Party that ate my entire weekend. The photos get especially wacky at the afterparty, when I donned Mark’s psychedlic purple bear costume.

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, is in bookstores now.

Do you think there is a diff. btwn E. Coast and W. Coast costumes? I mean, you would never see all those dreadfalls and bindis-on-the-forehead kind of post-post-hippie Burning Man costumes on the E. Coast. It’s like your friends didn’t even have to put any effort into their costumes. They just broke out their industrial sized jars of body glitter, picked up their BM costumes from the cleaners and went to another costume party.

actually there’s also a difference between north and south as well. ironically the folks down south on the left coast are way to concerned about their image to run out in such fabulous getups! (well, except in west hollywood, of course)

ariel, i havent visited in a while because i just started back to school and got a new job, but i just wanted you to know how great i think your site is! always something clever to give me a laugh. as i read your posts i realize how out of place i am here on the east coast and how well i would probably fit in out there in the west. i dont usually post any comments (i have to admit i am slightly intimadated because your writing is so good…how lame is that?=})but i just wanted to drop in and say hi! congrats on getting married…it looks like you really had a great time. ok, i am out now!

Ivy- Actually, the invite for the party said that we were to dress “Up and Out” rather than in full-on costumes. So your well-worn but hot party gear was what was desired as opposed to, say, your Killer Tomato costume or Darth Cheney get-up. Putting on the pretty stuff that we wear at other times was the point- there’s plenty of ridiculous costuming to do this next weekend.
PS- You would never see all those dreadfalls and bindis-on-the-forehead kind of post-post-hippie Burning Man costumes on the E. Coast because all the E. Coast kids are too busy spending shitloads of cash on trying to look like homeless people. Hip New York homeless people. With awful haircuts.
