the challenge of costumes

i have grandiose ideas regarding halloween costumes for when i have children {one day}-- a family of gnomes, lederhosen + drindle {think german}, superheros + lois lane, chefs + lobster baby, the flintstones, mario bros, the incredibles, ninjas, the wizard of oz clan, and so forth.

i tend to take my costume choosing rather seriously. for the past few weeks i have been perusing every nook and cranny of the internet in search of a cute {non-slutty} costume. i was debating between snow white or little red riding hood. however, all i could find was practically lingerie! the only safe options were made for toddlers or middle-age women.

my thought process was exhausting: i'll buy costume A from the internet, get a petticoat, opaque tights, and a shirt underneath, sew a new cape, and it should be acceptable. if i went with costume B i'll just need opaque green tights... and boots and a sword and a pixie hair cut. with costume C i'll need to wear an entire bodysuite underneath to not be passed off as a hoe, and probably an extensive amount of hairspray and jewelry.

before long i was fed up and went costume shopping with my mom.

are you aware that most modest costumes are not on the internet??
rude {bon qui qui}

we went to "halloween spirit", a store whose sight i had explored in detail to no avail. there i found a few options! i debated between gypsy girl and cave woman. turns out i make an awesome cave woman. plus leopard print, fur, and a bone headband? sold. not to mention i get to have crazy hair, grunt like cookie monster, and be barefoot.

i can't wait for halloween.
me no wait. halloween. now!
