People in lockdown around the world are celebrating rare opportunities to leave the house by dressing in their finest clothes to take out the trash.
founder Danielle Askew, 47, a kindergarten teacher from Hervey Bay in Queensland, Australia.other groups around the world"The concept has taken off because people are social beings and because we're isolated away from everyone, this is a great way that we're able to reach out to mankind, make friends, have a laugh, and still stay sane while we are isolated," said Askew.
"John and Patricia have ‘bin’ married for 65 years today!" posted one woman alongside a photo of an elderly couple clinking champagne glasses in front of a trash can decked out with flowers and a white tablecloth."Unfortunately their party has 'bin' cancelled but dad was still able to take mum on a special outing."
Sean Leland of Roblin, Canada and his wife Christie have multiple pre-existing conditions that put them at higher risk of contracting the virus. Leland says dressing up as a pirate and a superhero for the weekly chore helps boost morale"during these tedious worrying times". Thinking up new costumes also comes as"a welcome break" from homeschooling screen-time for Lora Foster-Cave, 49, from Delaware County, NY and 12 year-old son Trace. In their first post to the group on Tuesday, Foster-Cave filmed Trace flossing — a popular dance move — next to the trash cans while dressed as a taco.
Foster-Cave says they're planning another street food costume next."We've been eating a lot of pizza. So I think we have a pizza box or two to dig out of the pile!"Matteo Moschella is a London-based reporter for NBC News' Social Newsgathering team.
