My perfectly coordinated Hallowe'en costume will represent, with a little make-up,
BIG BIRD'S BLIND DATE!
Surely at least once you've been told you're perfect for someone whom you have absolutely no interest in meeting. We all have. And yet, the would-be-fixer-upper persists. They all do. Some people have no sense of humor. Descriptions of fix-ups are like descriptions of real estate: they have their own language. "Tall" can mean anything from "about" five feet to "paints ceilings without stretching."
Thus if the potential fix-up is described as tall, with a distinctive profile, I see visions of Big Bird (who is a perfectly nice bird, don't get me wrong, I just can't see him with me in a 3-star restaurant) -- well, here's the outfit that says
I DID TOO MAKE AN EFFORT
SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T GET "IRONIC."

Upon reflection, this ensemble looks a touch scanty, and Hallowe'en night can be chilly.
I shall add these Hallowe'en-themed leggings and the long-sleeved tee that I recently saw
in the J.Crew Collection Store on Madison Avenue. Really truly! Ask my iPhone!
Guess noone told them there's a pumpkin shortage in the Northeast, the store was coming down in orange.
These are Feather Boa cookies.
Just in case I have to provide dessert.
When stale, they can be strung together to make accessories.
Firkin hilarious! You crack me up fred! I love your perspective.
ReplyDeleteHi, xoxo, hehehe...
ReplyDeleteToo funny!! Those J. Crew feather confections do look a little silly but I'm sure there must be somebody buying them.
ReplyDeleteHi, Louise, the feathered garments have been lingering in the Collection Store - on and off - for what seems like years, and they regularly appear in the sale section, where they migrate from one category to anothe. I've even saw the vest in Outerwear. So no. I don't think people have been rushing to buy them. More a case of Designing While Under a Malign Influence, IMHO.
ReplyDeleteI rather fancy the idea of dressing up as Tigger...Boing! Boing! Boing!
ReplyDeleteHi, Trish, absolutely, the leggings/shirt plus a tail, whiskers & ears? perfect. See how adaptable the outfits from one little store can be?
ReplyDeleteOh love your costume! And the cookies - perfect
ReplyDeleteEvery post I wonder what *did* we do before your blog?!
Hi, mommydearest, glad you're enjoying! (and hoping you won't keep it a secret)
