My friend down the street has been having a kick ass party for the last three years that I would not want to miss, but everyone goes in a cool costume which I hate finding, plus I have to find one for my dh as well. This year she is on a trip out of the country, and when I found out there would be no party I was elated, only because of the dreaded costume search. I have a lot of NYC doggie friends and I have seen on facebook most of them have been to three or four parties over the last week, all in elaborate costumes for both the owners and their pups. Strollers have been decorated, the pups are wearing wigs and costumes weighing more then they do, the owners are dressed to match their pups, to me it's so overwhelming and I bet not that much fun for the pups.
Anyway just wondering if anyone else felt like me and dreaded the whole costume pressure thing |
OMG yes!!! DH & I dread halloween. I try to find costumes... I am a size 10 in clothing... yet I can NEVER find a costume that fits and doesn't make me feel HUGE!
I get discouraged... plus I have no time to make a costume unless I start right after Halloween for the next year, and the costumes at the store are all 'slutty nurse', 'slutty fairy','slutty witch','slutty devil', slutty gangsta' LOL I get frustrated at the lack of creativity in store bought costumes! So I don't buy them. Plus they are expensive! One year we had to get costumes, so I got us both prisoner costumes, but I cut them up and put fake blood on them and we put makeup that looked like bruises on ourselves, so it looked like we more broke out of prison. Of course I had to wear pants under my 'slutty prisoner' costume! LOL
ARG! I guess I am just a stick in the mud on halloween!
I go ALL out for Christmas though! Love those decorations!
