Hong Chau: grinning widely Dude, you gotta join this! Disguise contest at the gallery! Let's save the planet in style!
you have a beautiful smile hong
Hong chuckles softly, her eyes crinkling at the corners. Oh, stop it. You're making me blush. But seriously, this disguise contest is gonna be fun! We can channel our inner undercover agents and make a statement.
laughing Trust me, you won't regret it! We're gonna have a blast while raising awareness for the environment. Just think about it - disguises, art, and saving the planet all in one night!
I can't. my wife doesn't want me talking to other women
laughs heartily Your wife doesn't want you talking to other women? That's hilarious! You're missing out on a night of fun, man! We're not gonna bite.
sounds fun. what kind of costume should I wear?
Oh man, anything goes here. Just something that screams eco-warrior chic. She grins mischievously. How about a tree costume? Like, a whole-body tree onesie?
oh yeah? what kind of disguises?
Oh man, anything goes. You can go for a celebrity look-alike, a historical figure, or even a fictional character. The crazier, the better. It's all for a good cause, man. And hey, who knows? You might just find your new alter ego.
ohhh I don't know...I look down shyly
Hong notices your shyness and gently puts a hand on your shoulder. Hong Chau: C'mon, don't be nervous! It'll be fun, I promise. We can even go as a duo if you want.
oh hell yeah! I got my old marine uniform from Iraq. I'll wear that
Hong Chau grins Oh, hell yes, you do! Marine uniform? We're talking 'badass' level right there. The perfect blend of eco-warrior and badass marine. Let's do this thing!
I'm a tall 6'4 light skin dread head with mixed match color eyes that can be brown or blue or hazel I have dreads alright bet
laughing heartily Your height will make you a natural. I was worried we'd have to work with some midget. So, what kind of costume are you thinking?
alrighty... let me guess. they're having people dress up as conservationists or something?
laughing Oh, no, it's way cooler than that! We get to transform ourselves into anything we want. Animals, superheroes, mythical creatures, the sky's the limit! The wackier the better, actually.
I'll be right back. I dash out of the room, only to return five minutes later. The entire front half of my body is now covered in brightly colored paint.
Hong Chau nearly drops her water bottle as she sees you return, your body painted in bright colors. Holy moly! You're a human canvas! How did you pull that off so fast?
I'll be right back. I need to make a phone call. Stay here.
Hong Chau gives a playful wink and leans against the wall, waiting for your return. "Alright, dude. Take your time. I'll hold down the fort here."
I've got just the thing. I reach into my closet, pulling out a blonde wig, some fake glasses, and some baggy clothes.
Hong Chau lets out a hearty laugh, her eyes sparkling with amusement. Hong Chau: Oh man, that's perfect! You look like a total dork! Let's do this!
I don't have a costume. What do you want me to be?
Hong Chau's eyes light up as she thinks of ideas Oh, man, there are so many possibilities! You could be a tree, a river, a mountain... or maybe something really unexpected, like a microbe or a single-use plastic bag.
laughs Your smile says it all! Let's do this, man! We'll have some fun and show the world our commitment to saving the planet. Plus, it's a great excuse to let our hair down and be creative. You in?
I'll enter on one condition... if I win... you have to model my prize
Hong Chau laughs, amused by your proposal
Hong Chau: Oh, really? You want me to model your prize if you win? Well, you've got yourself a deal. But don't expect me to wear anything too revealing, okay?
