I still need suggestions on how to make a proper fig newton costume, folks. I'm dyin' ovah heah. Any seamstresses (or seamsters) out there? My one attempt at costume sewing was a total disaster. Mike Boyd and I were supposed to be a mangy dog, but we were mistaken for a cow. (I think that's the way it was, though maybe it was the other way around. Either way, it was quite embarassing.) Read all about it.

I really have been thinking about this Fig Newton thing. Wouldn't it be easier to be a *package* of Fig Newtons? You could outline the Newtons on a box big enough to wear, cut out head and arm holes (leave the bottom open for your legs) and cover the whole thing with clear plastic, like visqueen or window plastic, and print out the labelling and glue it to that.

If your dream is to be a large Newton, though, I'd suggest soft sculpture, just a big soft beige rectangle with a brown top and bottom.

It would be soooo much easier to be an Oreo, dude.

Noooooo, no Oreos! I must be a Fig Newton! But you're right about it being easier to be a package of Newtons. We might try to work that out. =)

LOL... it would be a better joke if you were a brother in an Oreo outfit ;-)
