PJ Pubcrawl




Yes this is the kind of costume that gets you photographed at PJ pubcrawl. Another is a spongebob outfit. That got alot of people queueing up for a personal picture. Unfortunately mine got lost somewhere in the melee of photographs that were taken that night.

This costume IS actually really cool. It is supposed to be a mother giving birth and all the babies that have already been born are kinda loitering around in the background in diapers and having drinks. The 1 featured in the photo is on his way out and not in a very sociable position. Ah. Typical medic-wear. No one can resist showing off at a get-together like this. I overheard the people talking about their costume the next day on the way to school saying "... depends on how much money and effort you want to spend on your costume, really". How much could they have spent tho, seriously? It was a really smart and cost-efficient idea. The stretcher was made of a Morissons trolley with its back pushed inwards. The baby went inside the trolley head-1st and kinda poked his head out at the appropriate location. Den there was a support on the trolley for the mother to lie on with alot of white cloth and red dye on the diapers and bedsheets. And each time they went into a pub everyone got out of their way coz there was the whole stretcher paving a way through for them. So there was no problem with crowds.

I have to admire their spirit and the effort they go into dressing up and planning their costumes. There were silver statues, members of Kiss, power rangers, toy soldiers from toy story (those were really convincing but really embarrassing when they stopped and stood still in the middle of the road or like when they tried to direct traffic), ribena people, pacman, THE MARIO FAMILY (that was so cool..) and silly me in my bathrobe. Man I really want to put in more effort into dressing up next time the occasion rises. So fun! Really expensive tho... But still. So fun!
