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.
