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<\/a>. 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:<\/p>\n

“Wendy, I started with a vision and once I saw the bow<\/a> 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!”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I adore you, too, PPIEW. You were one of my earliest stalkers<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

I prefer to think of them as "Georgia O'Keeffe pockets."<\/p><\/div>\n

The name tag says Venkman and the “uniform” has slime on it.<\/p>\n

You can get your own Venkman uniform t-shirt.<\/p>\n

Click to buy.<\/p><\/div>\n

But the t-shirt doesn’t have vagina pockets like my dress does. I feel so special, PPIEW!<\/p>\n

Check back soon for my outfit post from the Committee to Protect Journalists dinner<\/a>. Happy Thanksgiving to you all. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
