The Pants

This is why I created the animal pants from the last post...

... so Sean and some co-workers could partcipate in the Battle of the Bands (via Rock Band) held at his office Holiday Party a few weeks ago. Sean took inspiration from a Red Hot Chili Peppers' video ("Higher Power") where Flea wore red animal pants covered in stuffed animals. Since "Showmanship" counted for 70% of the band's final score - his band went all out on the costumes.

Here's his band, In Like Flinn, just before their first number. They did eventually win first place - I'm pretty sure it was all due to the pants. Which by the way, weighed a good 20 pounds. Luckily, they had a drawstring waist and I made Sean cinch them as tight as he possibly could.

While Sean and his co-workers got to play rock gods for a night, I got to play Vivienne Westwood for a night (and the week leading up to the party) and it was fun.

For Richer, For Poorer...

... in sickness, in health...

Nowhere in those vows is there any mention of gluing animals to red track pants.
Someone should have warned me.
More on the WHY and the HUH of the red animal pants later.
