Definitely NOT from the Olympics

So when Mark disappeared from the party and came back a few minutes later dressed in THIS, we all just about wet ourselves.


Besides working with us at Guadalupe Schools, Mark works for Friends of Big Brothers / Big Sisters. He coordinates the trucks that drive around collecting second-hand items that Friends then sells to thrift stores to fund its programs. So, Mark finds some really weird-ass stuff, but this takes the cake. The costume is essentially a spandex wet suit. Doesn't leave much to the imagination. All I can say is that the muff keeps the thing from being NC-17.

Nice gloves.


We all had to mess around with the boots. I have never been that tall.

But here's the mystery. Where the hell did this thing come from? Mark said, "It's from the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics."

"Weren't the opening ceremonies all on ice skates?

"Opening Ceremonies of something, maybe, but not the Olympics."

"I went back and looked at the opening ceremonies again, trying to find it. There is no one wearing that thing. "

It has the name "Andrea Coffey" written in all the pieces. I think it's from some Vegas show and Andrea Coffey was a showgirl. I Googled her, but there are a LOT of Andrea Coffeys out there. Is she:

  • the board member of the Salinas, CA Jaycees?

  • the 41 year-old from Waynesborough, VA?

  • The 1994 Emory grad residing in Fort Lauderdale?

  • The Charter School Coordinator for the Minnesota Department of Education?

  • The Australian amateur photographer who loves playing board games?

The world may never know.

Andrea, if you ever Google yourself and find this blog entry, we want to know whether you're a Vegas showgirl; whether you absconded with your costume; and why you ditched it (Actually, I have a pretty good idea of why you did that).

That thing hung in my office at BBBSU for months. We've all worn the hat, but I've never actually seen anyone put on the whole thing. Although one of my really tall, really thin, really gorgeous coworkers really wanted to take it with her to Vegas. She thought it would one-up her girlfriends' crazy wigs. It might even ten-up them.

I'm intrigued! Who is Andrea?

You look great, and tall, in the boots!

ugh, I TOTALLY forgot to Google Andrea! As discussed in the break room, it was my job and I totally flaked. How funny that you still can't figure out where that freak of awesomeness costume came from.
