Never Is the Next New Thing

Thanks for Giving, Part I

by

Several gorgeous bloggers have surprised me with thoughtful gifts over the past few months. I’ve thanked them by email, but it’s way past time to thank them publicly. I still need to take photos of several items, so I’ll start out with just one: the Ghostbusters uniform Halloween dress made by Practically Perfect in Every Way. I looked forward to Halloween all year, but when the time finally came, I wasn’t in much of a party mood. Then an unexpected package arrived. PPIEW’s card alone was enough to make me feel spook-tacular:

“Wendy, I started with a vision and once I saw the bow I knew it must be yours! As far as the vagina pockets, they weren’t planned that way — you just got lucky! I hope you will look past the inexperienced craftsmanship & give this one of a kind piece a home! You inspire me & that’s just one more reason I adore you!”

I adore you, too, PPIEW. You were one of my earliest stalkers, and I will never forget that. So even though I didn’t have a good face day on Halloween, I am posting this picture for you.

I prefer to think of them as "Georgia O'Keeffe pockets."

The name tag says Venkman and the “uniform” has slime on it.

You can get your own Venkman uniform t-shirt.

But the t-shirt doesn’t have vagina pockets like my dress does. I feel so special, PPIEW!

Check back soon for my outfit post from the Committee to Protect Journalists dinner. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
