The Costumer Wins Costume Contest!
I am very proud to announce that last night at the Chestnut Hill Melting Pot I won an award for “Best Nurturing Witch.” The costume (pictures forthcoming) consisted of: basic green renaissance faire dress, green and white gingham underskirt, light peasant shirt, knee high black boots, silver flower jewelry purchased at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, flower head wreath, lime green nail polish, a silver Celtic ring, and a highly decorated broom.
The prize included a Burt’s Bees starter package and Melting Pot garlic and wine spice. I attended the event with two friends–one went as a punk witch and the other as a geisha witch. We drank wine and looked fab.
I’d love to offer advice for other costume contest entrants:
-Show up on time
-Make sure your costume fits one of the categories for prizes
-Don’t be conventional
-Be in character, but don’t go over the top
Best of luck!
