It’s the time of the year when all sorts of costumes will come out as people all over the world celebrate Halloween. (Did you know that it is the witches’ new year?) Apart from the scary costumes, there are sexy adult costumes like that of a geisha or Marlyn Monroe or a referee. They enhance the event.
I also wear costumes at least once every year but during the Festival Show which is one of the regular evening activities during the Feast of Tabernacles. These costumes are for dances like Tinikling, Sayaw Sa Bangko (bench dance), Dunantuli Ugros (Hungarian), Virginia Reel, Malagueña, Konan, and I forgot which else since I started in 2003.
One unforgettable blooper happened in 2006 (if not 2007–senior moment here for dates). Dancing the Dunantuli Ugros which is mostly a jumping dance, my peticoat fell about an inch every 5 seconds. I realized it happening only when I almost tripped as I moved and in a flash I grabbed it up and went ahead as if nothing happened. With all smiles up to my ears, exit was like a pro. Up until now, everytime we get ready for the next season’s rehearsal, the story will make everyone laugh.
Moral of the story? Make sure your costumes are intact and won’t just snap or fall.
