It's that time of year again! The time when eating 3,000 calories worth of candy in one night is OK as long as you're doing it in fun-size portions, and most importantly, the time when Winston gets dressed up. It comes but once a year (sometimes twice, depending on how festive we're feeling at Christmas -- and just replaying that video was enough for Winston to get up from sleeping next to me and leave the room, as though hearing "Welcome Christmas" brings back painful memories).
Anyway, the point is that Winston is in costume below. Yay!
This year, Winston is...
Glo Worm! I think the goal at this point is to transform him into something cuddly from the '80s every year. I can't be sure, though, as my boyfriend conceived and realized this costume 100 percent. When it comes to the animals, he's the DJ, and I'm the rapper.
And since we couldn't stick a real light bulb up his ass, here's a Photoshopped rendering of what an actual working Glo Win might look like:
Also, here's some video footage of the cuddling/disrobing process:
Rudy declined to take part in this year's Halloween festivities because he believes that Halloween is for whores and Satanists. Winston participated for the very same reason.
LOL....This is surely cat abuse. Poor Winston, but I do think he likes it.

The thing I love most about Winston: any post including his face is automatically hilarious.
The suit is lovely :D Did he like it at all? Winston happy face and Winston angry face are too similar for me to distinguish.

I'm late to the party. How did he even stay in that costume for so long? I thought he'd use your Freddie fingers to tear it off immediately.

Is he named after Winston Churchill? My kitty is and I think that is why he is so serious all the time.

You are such an inspiration to me. I wrote a piece today about writing a book, and I mentioned some great writers on OS, that have taught me so much. You are on top of that list. Thanks You!
