Halloween SHOPPING

After Halloween sales were pleasing. My kitchen is bedecked in SKULLS - towels and glasses and IT IS MOST PLEASING. I did pop into a Halloween superstore and it was so SAD. Not just that it was the day after and looked as if had been attacked by the ravening ZOMBIE HORDES...prepacked costumes are NOT AWESOME (though this will not stop me from buying a Wonder Woman if I find one that fits and comes with a skirt). Prepackaged costumes should be awesome, but...sexy Starbucks employee? (sorry, barista.) REALLY? Sexy coffee lady? That is NOT EVEN TRYING, and I love coffee.

There were A LOT of 'ethnic' costumes, it was a little weird, just all at ONCE, SO MANY GIANT SOMBREROS AND PONCHOS....(although, maybe it was a good sign that there was so much of that stuff left? people did not buy it?)"geisha make-up, a Native headdress, bling, or a turban, Halloween tells us that our cultural norm is a middle-class, North American, white person."

Also, How does this costume even make sense?? It is a Playboy Hipster Witch Costume (official name)? How does that even work? Can Hipster really be successfully be combined with Playboy? (I will admit I am mostly vexed because I wanted that hat - it is so pink! and SHINY with fake patent! but it has the bunny logo and I don't really want the rest of the costume. I already have tights like that.) ....but the names, they make NO SENSE. And $77 ON SALE? You can totally buy all that separately for much cheaper in one trip to the mall. Claire's and Hot Topic can fulfill all your costume needs here.


Anyway that is my shopping update.
