A friend and I went to see Phantom of the Opera Friday night. The costumes and staging were beautiful. In opera, people are dressed so that their personalities and characters are known by the audience the minute they step on stage. I have been thinking how convenient life would be if everyone would dress their part.
The long talker in the office would wear a plain white button front shirt - something easy to see peripherally so that you could duck down a side corridor before you got caught in a 15 minute conversation on blue versus green cars.
The woman who always puts food in her purse at all you can eat buffets would have pig ears and giant pearls, like Miss Piggy. When anyone with pig ears and giant pearls showed up to Ryan’s, they could meet them at the door and refuse service.
You would never be surprised that your neighbor is a perv because his Jack Nicholson eyebrows and burgandy smoking jacket would have clued you in to that fact.
I am just worried that I would be wearing a dunce cap.
