My Trunk or Treat Costume: #269

 *Update* Hi, you guys who are visiting from StuffChristiansLike! I'm jumping up and down (well, not literally) that Jon Acuff put my picture on his Halloween post. Welcome. Can I take your coat? Want some French pressed coffee? Here, have some Skittles. While you're here, you might enjoy reading a recent post I wrote about StuffChristiansLike, including a list of my favorite of Jon's posts and how my husband and brothers score on the MWL guide. And here's a post I wrote in July that I really like: Sometimes God says "No." If you Tweet, you can follow me on Twitter - @miller_schloss. Thanks for coming by!*

This was my costume for Trunk or Treat at church:

Photobucket

Check me out. No, seriously, check me out! I'm a Metrosexual Worship Leader! Inspired by Jon Acuff's MWL scoring guide at Stuff Christians Like, I gleefully collected pieces for this costume over the past few weeks. My brother Daniel scored 38, for reals. In this get-up and persona, I score 53. Oh, wait, 51. I totally forgot to glue on with spirit gum the scrap of black faux fur that was going to be my soul patch.

My favorite parts are:
-I'm wearing a tie-as-a-belt AND a white belt
-the tattoo sleeve, on the arm holding the...
-Guatemalan San Jose Pinula in the personal French press

And yes, those bare feet are pedicured. Oh, AND there are Skittles in the man purse. Tangerine-colored Skittles, because that is the Crayola color of the Metrosexual Worship Leader. (I think I should get bonus points for the Skittles.)

I got big laughs from our church's youth pastor and equipping pastor, who both just went to Catalyst '09. "Were you THERE?” Equipping Pastor asked. “Because that's EXACTLY how they all dress!”

“You don't want me to dress like that,” Youth Pastor said. “Me in girl jeans is a Very Bad Idea.”

I had too much fun with this costume. In the end, it really got me thinking about worship and actually sparked a couple serious posts I'll put up soon.

In the meantime, just enjoy my awesomeness, and think about how your Halloween costume is not as Holy as mine.

LOL -- I think I had a belt like that in 1970.

AHAH! I saw you walking around at Trunk or Treat, and I was ready to bet it was MWL inspired. Suspicions confirmed!

The best part, to me, is that you probably didn't have to buy a single thing to make that costume.

I think you should get bonus points for the fact that the guitar is for looks only. :)
