Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

OMG OMG, how cute is this wig?

[link]

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!!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

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.

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

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.
