Pablo Honey

Halloween Idea #14

I went to Virginia Museum of Fine Art's Picasso exhibit last week (on loan from  the Musée National in Paris.) I'll do a proper art post on that soon. In the meantime, I noticed the gift shop was selling striped "Picasso" shirts for, like, a million dollars and thought it'd be a good Halloween costume contendor.

Striped shirt, paintbrush, cigarette. Pretty basic. Maybe add a bald cap?

Pro's:
-All I'd have to buy is a bald cap.
-It's art based.

Con's:
-Would people get it? I live in Norfolk, VA. People don't get much around here.

Only six months to go!

You give us Norfolkians no credit, haha! But you're right, only a select few will get it. I went as Little Edith Beale to the Ghent parade quite a few years ago and everyone thought I was a refugee. Should've worn a name tag.

Yeah, those t-shirts were ridiculous, but surprisingly not marked up. Those Saint James original French nautical tees are now super expensive thanks to little Miss Coco.

And I gathered from the gift shop, Picasso must have had a dachshund, too?
