a homeless Santa


     There are lots of reasons for costuming.  I would guess as many as there are people and if I made a list then everyone could add or subtract and we could bicker and dicker over the definition of costuming and the reasons for costumes.  I think we all live or walk in some kind of costume every day or possibly every moment of our lives.
the ugly
     Right now I am dressed up as a blogger.  I still have the sleep in my eyes, my hair has not been combed and I have not brushed my teeth.  I am in this particular costume until my coffee is ready and then I change into a different costume.   I shower and do all the "get myself  together” items, grab my coffee, put on some clothes and then get back to my writing.
     I have this ritual because that's the way "I" get my "mojo" moving in the morning.  We all have different costumes for everything we do… from going to the beach to the theater. 

the good
the bad
     We can also do special affects costuming.  For example I grew a beard and let my hair grow to do some research on the homeless.  I used the same idea to be Santa Clause.

    This post is a prime example of “the good, the bad and the ugly”…costuming at its finest.

Did you pick up where my “mojo” changed?


     Have fun today...go to the mall...get dressed up as an elf...the tooth fairy...a Santa...or even a bum...it's a real blast to get out of yourself...
Oh...what ever you do...do not get dressed up as the ugly...


      Grizz the good...Grizz the bad and ...Grizz the ugly

    I think we all have those three personae,(I wanted to say personas but it preferred the Latin!) You ugly doesn't seem bad enough or was it just a bad mood day that no one else saw back then?

    In my house there is an abundance of character and costume. We all find a place to play, especially during Halloween and the solstice eves. I like the changing theme here and you are right, we do this more than we see. I think the three are most pleasant here. I understand the change of costume after the coffee as well. :)

    I don't think you could be ugly if you tried, GS. Anyone who not only works as Santa's helper but also researches the homeless, engages them in probably the only meaningful conversation they'll have that day, is beautiful in my book. I've been writing a series of poems on the homeless guys I meet in the streets of Madison as well, but here's my Sun Scribs and ABC take. Peace, Amy

      I wonder if you find the homeless as perplexing as I do and also depressing...very depressing...the reasons are many and different...just as the homeless
