and they keep coming
yesterday’s costume gems:
caller: "my son needs to dress up like a historical character. do you have anything like that"
me: "we sure do. what time period or person?"
caller: "he didn’t say. what does it look like?"
me: "can you narrow it down just a little? there is a lot of history."
every year a couple throws a big party, and we help them outfit their guests. this year’s theme is "go to hell." guests can dress as anything you might find in hell. we even made them a list of notorious people one would assume you’d find in hell. and every day, someone comes in and can’t think of a single thing to dress up as. they think this is the hardest theme ever. they want us to suggest a costume. then they reject everything we give them. no want wants my pilgrim costume (an actual salem witch) or the roman dress (nero’s mother). these older women want to be "sexy." i gave one woman a medusa costume. she bought it, but said, "i don’t even know who this is."
and, yes, some guy asked for a vampire. no one believes me when i tell them they don’t need a costume…
Not that I NEED to dress up for Halloween, but I can’t think of anything good this year because I don’t want to be a pregnant nun. Even though part of the joke would be that I’m not a guy in a habit with a fake belly, I’d have an ACTUAL belly, complete with actual baby. But for Pete’s Sake - couldn’t one of the Spears’ sisters be knocked up again so I could go the trailer trash route? I got NOTHING.
So I guess I’ll just wear an orange t-shirt and declare myself a pumpkin.
Woo.
