who will prevail?

I had what I think is a great idea for a Halloween costume for Anton: Jeffrey Sebelia from "Project Runway." All I would have to do is draw the tattoo on his neck with a black eyeliner pencil, maybe gel his hair up a bit, and he could wear sunglasses and his regular old jeans and a black shirt. No expense, easy, topical, and funny. Iris LOVES this idea.

Anton's response? "I can't begin to tell you all the things that are wrong with that idea." His stuck-in-the-mudness listed some of them: he doesn't want to look tattooed, "I hate that show and that guy", "when I saw that show, it was just painful", and "no one will get it."

My prediction for his costume: once again, he'll get out that moldy old Dr. Who scarf he got as a premium for donating to Chicago public radio as a teenager and be the Tom Baker Dr. Who. Iris, however, wants to force him to be Jeffrey Sebelia.
