Well bless. The gal, J, I trained to take over my old job...who has held that position for 6 months including the 1 month she went off to Korea and I had to step in and cover...just accepted a 2 year assignment in Abu Dhabi.

I will not get sucked back into that job. I will not get sucked back into that job. I will not get sucked back into that job. I will not get sucked back into that job.

As much as I like the way you think Vortex - there is no amount of money that would make that headache worth it for me. Training, sure, I could help with that, but that is my limit.

OMG OMG, how cute is this wig?

I need to find it a) in the adult size (the teen runs small) and b) in STOCK

Dood. As a Raggedy Ann purist I object to the ponytails, but my non-pony options are a) make one (scary!) or b) turn a red one black (I'm thinking "magic marker")

Trudy, did I ever tell you about the year my sister dressed up as Raggedy Ann for Halloween? She was working at JoAnn Fabrics part-time that night, so she went in costume (she had made the outfit herself, so it was appropriate for work). One of the customers that night had a toddler-aged girl in a stroller with her, and the child just stared at Kris the entire time, saying "Rag Ann! Rag Ann!"

My personal favorite adult costume of my own was when I bought a white apron and chef's hat and made up a book cover with the title, "How to Serve Man," which I carried around the bookstore that night while working. No one got it, though!!

That wig is adorable. I want your whole costume, Trudes! CUTE!

Loooo-zers!

I actually dressed as Raggedy Ann for my little sister's birthday party when I was six or seven (the other year we were pandas). My next door neighbor Steven was Andy. My Grandmother and Mother made the costumes -- complete with wigs. Gramma is gone and Mom's hands won't do that anymore. Even if I could dig up a mumble year old pattern its doubtful I could pull off the work they could do. It is also entirely possible my Grandmother free-handed the whole shebang.

I'm loving this thing like cray. zee. I need to find a cheap large size white blouse with puffy sleeves to turn into bloomers.
