Just wrapped up another Lebowski Fest.
My husband dresses up as The Dude (with the Pendleton sweater, jelly shoes and bag phone).
The first time I dressed up, I went as a cable repairman. The second time, I dressed up as a golfer. The third time, I wore a Moorhead State University t-shirt. Now I just go as a Special Lady Friend.
Here’s a list of unique costumes I’ve seen recently:
- Lu, the diner waitress
- Nancy Reagan, when she was First Lady of the nation
- the man in the black pajamas
- the cast of Branded
- an amphibious rodent
- Marty the Landlord, in the costume from his dance quintet
- Pilar
- the Corvette + the crowbar used to smash it
- a stranger in the Alps (how meta!)
- Mrs. Jamtoss
- Knox Harrington
- the guys from the Jackie Treehorn beach party who are bouncing the topless woman on the trampoline
- another group costume: Jackie Treehorn + the pencil + the notepad drawing of the huge erection
- citizens of Malibu who don’t like The Dude’s goldbrickin’ ass
- Kenny Rogers’s song “Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)”
- human paraquat
- Moses/Sandy Coufax
- Joel Coen
The most popular costume, by far, is Walter. Some people even have a dog carrier as a prop. Less common is someone as Walter dressed not in shorts, vest and boots, but in a suit and carrying Little Larry Sellers’s homework in a ziploc bag. A lot of people also go as The Dude, and Maude is popular for the ladies. It takes a big personality to pull off Jesus Quintana. You can’t do it by halves — no one fucks with The Jesus.
Will usually see a Bunny, Brandt, The Stranger, and Jackie Treehorn.
For group costumes, people like to go as the band Autobahn (from the Nagelbett album cover) or the nihilists from the dream sequence. You will also see a group of the fuckin’ Eagles, man.
It is less common to see someone dressed as Donny or The Big Lebowski himself. As far as minor characters are concerned, you never really see anyone go as the Malibu chief of police, the funeral director, Woo the Rug Pisser and the blond Treehorn thug, Smokey, or Saddam Hussein.
So that’s it until next time.
…Say friend, you got any more of that good sarsaparilla?
My god that sounds like fun.
