I think my mom had some fiberglas curtains back in the 60's that
would have met the specs. Except I'm not sure I'd want to wear it...

Sounds perfect for OP. Did you get a gander at that
costume?

I was actually sort of thinking Plasti-dip, but it might be fairly painful
when undressing... should be shiny and snagproof, though.

Sadly, I have run across some people who don't get it that the internet
is a DIY experience full of people volunteering their time.

I even had one person complain to me a number of years back when I was
on AOL that AOL did not provide you with your own personal AOL staff
person to be a big brother and teach you the ropes of how to use AOL,
and that it was *BEEEP* that they expected you to search help files to
get the information you needed. *rolling eyes*


The only fitting commentary I have to this situation is:

"We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters
will eventually reproduce the works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the
Internet, we know this is not true."

careful not to snag it with your claws. JPBill
