Dear Carmen Sandiego,
Where in the world is….
CARMEN SANDIEGO?
HIT IT ROCKAPELLA!
Please tell me you know who Carmen is? I needed to figure out a costume very very last minute… and when my Mom suggested Carmen it sounded perfect. I ran to Walmart to get some red spray paint and DI to get a red blazer and briefcase. Then I rushed home to spray paint my straw floppy hat red. Then all I needed was a black shirt, black leggings, and boots. Perfect, all part of my current wardrobe. And there it is Carmen. Then Adam came home from class I showed him my costume, really excited, and he said, “Um… who is Carmen Sandiego?” To which I responded, “WHAT?! She only had a tv show and a computer game (thank you Sawtooth Elementary for that game which filled my computer lab hours!), how do you not know who she is!?” And Adam said, “Well… I was reading books.” And I said, “Well, I was traveling the world with Carmen!” So this brings me back to the first question… PLEASE tell me you know who Carmen is!?
The costume was a HUGE hit at work. Everyone there knew who I was, which made me happy. And I got to wear gloves and red lipstick all day. Plus, I took second in the cosutme contest, which means prizes! Lucky me. What were you for Halloween?
Love,
Deidre

you look GREAT! i totally played this game during our computer lab hour in elementary school too. i can't believe people don't know who she is! i had that same experience with the hanson boys who sing mmmbop. totally an early 90s grunge boy band but i thought EVERYONE knew that song. evidently not haha. awesome that you pulled this together so quickly!
Awesome costume! I loved Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego!
I know what you speak of, and your costume is grand! Mine was Black Widow — because what girl wouldn't want to hang out with the truly Marvel-ous A-team, huh? 🙂
Best Carmen Sandiego costume ever!!
I do know who she is. I also watched the show and played the game with Mrs. Newberry in Sawtooth Elemetary's computer lab!!
