Nancy Kerrigan skates again!

Well, not really. But she, T. Harding and K. Yamaguchi did make an appearance Saturday night for the fabulous "it used to be cool" party. As did Gwen Stefani, BUM athletics and Big Dog t-shirts, spiked hair, and backward hats. Overall, the lack of costume ingenuity was disappointing at best, but it did make the figure skating trio shine even brighter. I really hope the dearth in dress-up Saturday night is not representative of adult attitudes toward costume parties. Costuming is like a get out of jail free card. Its an excuse to adopt another persona and not answer for your actions. Even if you're not quite adopting the personality of your character, everyone will pretty much forgive what you do anyway. I'll be sad if being a grown up means no more pretend because I don't think I'll ever grow out of playing dress-up.
