re: dressing up

I was going to go as Magenta but then there was talk and there's going to be a group thing next year.

I don't like to put any thought or effort into my costumes because I don't like dressing up, I really really don't and only do so so I don't have people tsking at me or sighing or whatever is they do to people who don't dress up.

The other day my friend and I were at Wal-Mart where I bought my already made costume. 'Black Widow' (as in the spider). The dress is black, long and fake velvet. It was cheapish. And so I bought it. Didn't really pay attention to the size.

Tried it on tonight. Uhm, yeah. Instead of 'Black Widow' I'll either be going as "sausage in black casing" or "fat girl trying to fit into a too tight dress."

So awesome!

Could you possibly modify it? I don't mean with actual sewing or anything... but maybe some selective use of scissors, and wear something black under it? So it's tattered and creepy?

Pay me no mind... I'm the one who's putting a velveteen cape on my kid over one of her dresses and declaring her to be Bloody Mary... because her "Hello My Name Is" tag says so. *shrugs*

The dress is long enough that I can bunch it up around the waist area to hide some of the fat. But too tight to wear something under it.

Hahah. I should get a name tag and do something like that.

It wouldn't be too tight if you cut it to shreds! Mwahahaha! *thunderclap*

*cough* Sorry. It annoys me when costumes try to cop an attitude and be all difficult. If they aren't inclined to head in one direction, I'm liable to change directions radically.

And I am all about the Hello tags. They cover a multitude of costume sins.

If I were creative with skill, I might consider that but I'd probably just end up with no costume and over priced rag.

dude. you have dead buffy mom icon...and it's kinda creeping me out.
kudos.

Thank you so much! I try to have icons on hand for any occasion. :P

By the way, I *heart* Giles. :)

Giles is my everlasting older man crush. I don't think I had a thing for libraries before Buffy.

Good plan having icons for every occasion. I usually just get stuck staring at the pretty.
