Purim

[lethargic_man]

A humble villager from the province of Arabaya petitions the Persian empress, Queen Esther.

With aviva_m.

Dress and wig kindly lent by yobadazizi, djellaba by my father; facial hair grown by yours truly over the previous month, and then shaved into shape in between Shabbos going out and the megillah reading.

Wow, that is a seriously awesome purim costume! The facial hair is amazing; it almost suits you.

No, the seriously awesome Purim costume is that of אסתר המלכה.

What happened to your owl mask? I can't see it on your photos.

The owl mask was only for the Moishe House party, because it was animal-themed; hence I added the mask to go as an Arabian Owl. The rest of the outfit is what I wore during the rest of Purim.

You said you did not want to offend the real Arabs in Willesdon. But I believe they would have mistaken you for one of them. As you saw other people not just Sam wore a non-animal custom or none at all.

Well yes, that was the point: they would not have mistaken me for one of them.
