Here she is at school with a friend. On Halloween she is coloring her hair to match her dress. When asked why, she says Sundae does it. LOL

That's a pretty good reason (just don't tell her how much I drink...!)

She looks great there. I assume her friend is dressed up too? Or am I really out of touch with male teen fashion...?!

her friend is dressed as a mafioso. btw addie is dressing as pinkalicious and will have pink hair. abby is going to be a rock star with pink hair. btw, the girls are still going crazy over the candy. they really love the smarties

My daughter just won 1st place at the middle school costume party for her Washington Monument rappeller costume! $15 iTunes card. Sweet!

woo hoo.

.

very cool, glatt! there's something amiss with the scale, though.... lol.

no really... that's really good. topical, too! the neighbors will understand the costume, you think?

edit: just noticed she won 1st place. I guess that means they got it. ;)

again, nice job Ruffs

Glatt she has your elegant neck.
Lucky girl.

Yay Glatt's Daughter!

Cool! I was wondering how she was differentiating hers from a generic "climber" costume... I think she is readily identifiable, especially in a neighborhood where people saw the rappellers first hand. Very nice.

Thanks, all!

It was a bit of a challenge coming up with the right scale. It had to be small enough to fit through doorways and allow her to sit down. But it needed to be as big as possible to convey the sense of scale. It's roughly the top 3rd of the monument. If we did the entire monument, it would look like a pencil on her back.

So the whole thing was an exercise in trade-offs, but in the end, I think it works. Everyone at the party, including several teachers, loved it. She was really excited when she got back from the school party.

That is teh awesome!

Okay, i'm clearly unhip and out of touch ... what's she meant to be?

No more so than me. It's a Kim Possible character, apparently.
