In the subway last night, I met a Tufts student who was on her way to the new Harry Potter movie. She was dressed up for it.

She was wearing a penguin costume.

A really good one, too; flippers, beak, red bow tie, the whole nine yards.

To make it appropriate, she'd written 'OWL' on a piece of paper and taped it to her chest. There was another one on her back that said 'HOOT'.


It's 12 hours later, and I still can't decide if it was the lamest idea I've ever seen or the most awesome.

Most awesome. Easily.

Most awesome. Definitely.

Ah, how to stand out from the rest of the costumes.

We saw a group of kids at our theater last night who had made costumes out of construction paper strategically stapled together. Quite clever, we thought.

Would have been better if she'd had an advert for Penguin Post: The Arctic Wizard's BEST Messaging Service!

I'm going to have to go with "awesome".

Most definitely AWESOME!

And how sad is it that I am mad jealous of a girl in a penguin costume? :P

Hate to be the detractor, but I vote for 'lame'.

Because I'm tetchy like that.

Hey, it works?

Personally, I think that's hilarious.

Depends on whether she was aware of her choice, or if someone tricked her into it.

Accio last-minute costume!

All alone? I'm going to have to vote "flame resistant portkey"... you can never tell when a dada one is going to appear...
