Approx. 10 years ago I concocted a costume as follows: HELLO I'M CHARVONA, COURT CHESS-ter I HOPE TO HELP MORDECHAI & ESTHER I HATE HAMAN'S EVIL TONGUE I HOPE FROM THE TREE HE'S HUNG TAKE A LOOK AT MY BACK IF YOU PLEASE FOR HOW I THINK OF EACH CHESS PIECE
The plackard on the front of the chest is a chessboard with chess pieces, along with the above poem.
The plackard on the back of the chest was another chessboard, with a flap in the middle stating:
AND WHO'S THE GRAND MASTER? HASHEM WHO JUGGLES NISIM B'HESTER then an arrow points downward stating: "Lift Flap"
So the viewer would lift the flap and read: Black King = Achashveirosh White King = Mordechai Black Queen = Vashti White Queen = Esther Black Knight = Haman White Knight = Charvona Black Castle = Achashverosh's castle White Castle = the one which was reserved for Mordechai?? Black Pawns = the nations who wanted to war w/Yehudim White Pawns = the Yehudim
The CHESS-TER hat was concocted from black & white checkered tights (which looked like the chessboards!). Each leg was shortened then knotted at each leg-end. Also, a sweater-top with checkered arms was beneath, and finally two pairs of tights, one black & one white, had each leg cut off, so that one of the legs wore black lycra, and the other wore white lycra. The black leg wore a white sneaker, and the white leg wore a black sneaker. M.M.
I exist to go by order and live by the rules because with no rules, the world just falls apart. we exist to serve the almighty one.
