Ghillie! Yowie! Ghillie!

I love ghillie suits. We made one for the VNYB Post Apocalyptic Performance. We never got to march with it because the person who won it at the Space 1026 Art Auction never showed up to be a mummer. There is a neon ghillie suit out there somewhere and I like that.

According to Wikipedia:

The name was derived from gille, the Gaelic for “servant”, in English especially used to refer to those assisting in deer hunting, deer stalking or fly fishing expeditions in the Scottish Highlands.
