Contest to Marry the Moon

CONTEST DIRECTIONS

On the back of a hyena
The Moon sends out an invitation
To all the suitors with hands of rosy butter
It sounds like she will marry
The finest dressed scoundrel
So do not tarry, tarry
Send your midnight schmatta

To enter the contest, send us a fragment or ornament to be incorporated in a lunar nuptial garment. The fragment can be any material or object you wish and can be accompanied by a title and/or a description.
The fragments will be woven together into a multisex wedding garment. This garment will be awarded to the winner of the competition.

The Moon’s Intermediary wears the nuptial garment and carries the Lunar Dowsing Rod, which will point to the one the Moon wants to wed.


Objects were chosen by chance for each contestant and inscribed with their names. They all waited in a row for the Moon to make her choice.

Twice the Intermediary made her rounds and twice the Moon indicated Ron Sakolsky for her partner.
