So WordPress has this built-in analytics program that shows how people got to my blog, and one of the search terms that drove some traffic my way yesterday was “INSEAD sex 2007.”
I love the internet.
I now also love costumes. Strictly speaking, I don’t really, but from all the years of INSEAD blogs that I’ve sifted through, the one recurring theme that I’ve run across is that INSEAD students have a thing, nay, a fetish for costume parties and will find every excuse to turn a get together into fancy-dress deals, so I decided to not delay the inevitable and immediately embrace dressing up.
Which explains why I spent two hours in my non-air conditioned car on Saturday, driving in sweltering, shirt-stripping heat to a giant costume warehouse. I figured that anything I buy here will be cheaper than the €3.29 billion that the singular costume shop in Fonty charges for a fake silicone ass, and that the difference could be better used for a greater cause, like a real silicone ass, for example. God knows, I need an ass augmentation.
I walked in with the intention of sticking to a slim budget and buying as many cheap costumes as I could. After spending 15 minutes walking down one out of the 10 aisles, I realized that resistance was futile, caved in, and bought everything that caught my eye. Four different get ups and €100+ later, I’m ready for the costume party scene.
Bring it on, chateau parties, bring it on.

dtlf…
Are you prepared for that?
ass augmentation eh?
but what happens.. if Insead 08 *gasp* DOESN’T HAVE COSTUME PARTIES?! or what if they have really weird costume parties.. where you have to dress like Spongebob Squarepants?
DTLF responds: Come on, now. Everyone could use a little more ass in their life with a few notable exceptions. Spongebob is so passe. I’d show up as Patrick the Starfish.

Agreed on that, I so could use some Grade-A ass in my life…..
Who are your few notable exceptions by the way?
DTLF Responds: I was referring to an actual, physical, ass upgrade. Like, my lack thereof could use some augmentation. Do you know the pain involved in sitting on wooden chairs? Or folding metal ones? Re: the notable exceptions, they all seem to have names starting with the letter J: J. Lopez, J. Hewitt, J. Alba, J. Aniston…

Costume parties? Wow, what fun… Just hope you got some cool costumes that will match with the themes.
