After things had calmed down while looking around I found this yellow gown that I planned on making fun of until I took it off the rack to discover it was almost identical to the yellow gown Belle wore in The Beauty and the Beast. I decided to try it on and it fit like a glove. I wanted it...for next Halloween of course. There was no price tag on it so I asked the same lady who wanted to know who these children belonged to. She looked at it and said $15. I responded by saying really? She asked what I was going to use it for and I said for Halloween and for any other use the dress is rather ridiculous looking...which it is. As I held it up in front of her she stroked the many ruffles, thought for a moment and then said how about $6. I said sold! Shortly after that I found a hair piece that has all these curls hanging down just like how Belle had her hair in the movie. Awesome! My costume for next Halloween is complete. Now I just have to find white knickers and a blue tuxedo coat with tales for Jim. Oh yes, I told him he's going as Beast like it or not. I said Jer could be the candle stick guy and Evie could be the feather duster that he chases around but Jim said that would be just wrong since they are brother and sister. Whatever. Logan could be the clock and Deb could be Mrs.Potts. We'll get the whole family in on this theme. Can't you just picture it? I can, especially Jim in white knickers. Now that's HOT! That's a family picture. Jim's step mom is really into Halloween...in fact it's her favorite holiday. She'll be so proud of me this year! I can't wait.

Great idea! It's great to plan ahead with those holidays. We tend to wait until the night before when they finally decide what they want to be and then I scrabble around trying to find everything I need for the costume!
ReplyDeleteAs for the Thrift store. I can't wait to go in and hear the gossip about some lady ignoring her children and allowing them to trash the toy area. I bet they put up more signs! Too Funny!

Not at all. I still would much rather toss Belle to the wolves in spite of knowing you as well as I do. Let's only hope that the fourth film will depart from the book series and end with her demise, overdue as it is by my own reckoning.
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you meant Bella Swan not Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I haven't actually seen that film, so I can't say whether I'd hold any vitriol against her. Although, I'm almost certain you make a better one.
ReplyDeleteBelle has a lot more personality compared to Bella. Bella has the personality of a wet blanket. I can't believe she has two guys fighting over her. Perhaps the book portrays the character better then the actress Kristen Stewart does. I wouldn't know though as I haven't read any of them thus far.
ReplyDeleteI also can't believe you haven't seen Disney's Beauty and the Beast. The next thing you're going to tell me is that you've never seen the Little Mermaid. You guys so need to keep going til you have a girl. Those movies will become staples in your house.

I wasn't the least surprised, stultified as the author was and is by her mormon upbringing. I think its really apparent in the fourth book, and see the series more as the warrant for the author's desperate need for counseling.
Wow! Do you hang on every word I say don't you?
ReplyDeleteOnly when you say something interesting. Or something uninteresting on a subject I at least find interesting otherwise. Keep in mind that the Internet is neighborhood in which I live, and I know some of the addresses you keep here. I'm bound to pop by for a chat now and then.
ReplyDeleteO-kay, so you're the Mr.Rodgers of cyber space. Where's your trolley?
