At Last, My Boutrous Boutrous Ghali Costume is Relevant Again!

posted by on February 15 at 15:55 PM

If you don’t have any plans for this weekend but you do have a King Tut costume gathering dust in your closet, this might be just the thing for you. The Guerrilla Masquerade Party (Seattle Chapter) is hosting a celebration, World Leader Pretend, this Saturday at Sunset Bowl, starting at 9 pm.

The history of the world has been full of crazy queens, powerful presidents, and charismatic cult leaders. There have been good, bad, and downright awful men and women who have held positions of power, probably for as long as humans have been walking the earth. Now’s your chance to masquerade as one of them for a night!

Politicians and Monarchs will surely be present, so you can hobnob with Hamilton, visit with Victoria, converse with Khrushchev, or pick up on Prince Harry. This may be your chance to buy Boris III a beer, make eyes at Mussolini, or cuddle with Kim Jong-il.

And world leaders come in other varieties… like religious leaders. You could parade as a Pope, dress up as the Dalai Lama, or make believe you’re Charles Manson.

This is also an opportunity for the Abraham Lincolns of this past Tuesday to get the band back together one last time before Halloween. I’m not going—got plays to review, don’t’cha know—but if you do go, and somebody actually shows up dressed as Adolf Hitler, please hit him (or her) once for me.
