kybearfuzzHalloween is my favorite holiday of year. A lot of people say their favorite is Christmas or Thanksgiving. The odd person may say Labor Day or Columbus day I guess, but Halloween has always done it for me. Horror movies are playing every night. Costumes and costume shops appear. Certain candy is only on sale this time of year. It is when I think my creativity reaches unusual heights.
So this year, when I was putting my costume ideas together, I was thinking of the most horrible person the public has encountered this year, seemingly ripe for parody for her bigotry and most public spectacles.
I went as Kim Davis, "Christian" wignut and media whore in her daily guise as Rowan County Clerk here in my home state of Kentucky. She's that "lady" (I use that term loosely) who was refusing same-sex couples their constitutional right to get a marriage license.
Bearded Kim Davis
After going through a couple of wigs and finding that ankle-length horizontal-striped dress at KMart (for a whopping $4.99), the costume seemed like a must! A couple of other shirts, some accessories, and an iron-on transfer and I was good to roll.
The party I went to tonight was fantastic, thrown by a couple of guys I play softball with. I was thinking I'd be one of many Kim Davises in attendance, but amazingly enough I was the only one. The shirt sold my identity to anyone who had questions. I had a blast playing the role, telling people that "Jesus loved them (so I wouldn't have to)" and that I was in search of my fifth husband because the last one had gotten dirty.
What was fun was that everyone played along. Most people didn't bother learning my real name, and I was called "Kim" across a room all night. In the photo booth the hosts set up, I gave my disapproving looks, my hands to the heavens poses, and a photo op for anyone who wanted it. One lady was involved in the legal proceedings of the Obergefell case and wanted a photo with me, particular with me in a headlock. I gladly obliged. Other pics involved my being kicked in the cooch, having a dude dressed as a S&M chick up my dress, getting laid by Twisty the Clown from AHS: Freak Show, and me laying sexily in front of a group of partygoers. I can't wait for the guys to post the photos.
Like all good parties, it had to end at some point. So I took off my wig and dress and drove home in my tee-shirt and gym shorts.
The party was a blast and I'm already wondering what I'll wear next year. Hopefully, it will not involve a wig as they are a pain in the butt.
