Halloween Costume Horrors

Why is it that if you DON'T read your summer reading books, you're the one who gets asked all the questions?? You might say its because the teacher knows you didnt really read it.  Nope, my teacher is totally convinced, because thanks to my lovely new friend John, i knew the basics of the book we talked about. Yaaaaay. 

We got a Halloween costume catalogue in the mail yesterday - i've been flipping through it. What do you think, "Pirate Vixen" with knee-high black leather lace-up boots, or five-inch lacy red heels? just kidding. But really....here are some of the best, on a scale of most interesting:
1) "She's Wicked!" black and purple corset dress with arm warmers and thigh-highs, plus black heels with red soles.
2) "Treetopper" is a flowy, filmy, short white dress with a nice tree print wrapping around everywhere. Add in Tree of Life earrings for a whopping $29.95.
3)"Rouge et Noir" Be the Grim Reaper in vampy red this year...frighten small children and the elderly alike!
4)"Faerie Flirtation" is a very small purple & black corset dress with garter stockings and a lovely purple headband-antannae.
5)"Mystic Mermaid" is a sea-green velvet number with a flippy skirt and 3/4 sleeves, complete with a tiny blown-glass ornament bottle on a necklace.
6) "Birthday Bird" A $20 gray T-shirt with "Raven Lunatic" on the front.
7) "Queen of the Nile" is a lovely somewhat weirdly shaped black sheath with a 2-foot wide gold belt and multiple pieces of plastic jewelry.
8)"The Gypsy Princess" is a Esmeralda-type piece with lovely clashing royal purple and sea foam green, with a little gold ribbon and white taffeta thrown in for good measure. Comes with easily make-at-homeable purple head scarf for an extra $10.95.
9)"Bad is Good" - a short leather spaghetti strap dress with buckleboobs and straps, period. Nothing else. For the reasonable price of $99,95.
10) "You Decide" - "lingerie? we call it outwear." Does that say enough, or must I tell you that in consists of only a short, flowy, flimsy dress with almost-nonexistentstraps and designs that call attention to the chest area?

Feel free to vote for your favorites...I'm off to watch a good healthy dose of TV.

Peace, Love & John Mayer to all :)
