Goodbye, Mr. Jackson.

And I just spent all of oh look a penny on it.
I have my costume now (You wouldn't believe how adorably scruffy-looking the wigs are at Goodwill) and was trying it on. I even went so far as to do a makeup test.

Yes. I did put baby powder on my face before the greasepaint. No. It didn't help. I look like Chris Crocker right now.

So uh anyone else bothering to dress up?
