I need a "cabin boy" outfit for a Saturday night tavern event having to do with pirates... suggestions?
What does a cabin boy wear?
Hair/hat suggestions?
And it's Wednesday - we leave Friday. I have tonight and tomorrow night to "make some magic".
Forecast: no sleep.

Date: 2008-08-27 10:31 pm (UTC)tho.. I will be in a public establishment so I can't go barefoot. But I have some sandals that lace up.. they might be least offensive footwear I have. I doubt anyone else will notice.
And you have to realize... I'm probably the ONLY one who will put much effort beyond visiting a Halloween costume store. But I'm going to bang out a man's shirt out of 100% linen tonight. No one will care but me, but I'm my own biggest critic. Tomorrow night I'll do the finish work and make a pair of long, loose pants. Will i have the guts to fray the ends? or stain them? oh gawd.. the OCD will HATE me for staining the pants. I won't be able to "stain" the linen shirt .... I would cry... o man.. I suck at this "costume" thing... *sob* ... I may need to rethink the linen - if I'm going to rub gravy and dirt into it, maybe it needs to be muslin... (banging head on table)...

Usually the Captain.

Oh now I am sad thinking of Billy Budd!
