Halloween Costume’s Gone Bad Bad BAD!

In my past life, which ended about 17 years ago, I was a very good seamstress. I could sew anything and I did. I’ve made wedding dresses, prom dresses, sequined pageant dresses, Easter dresses, baby snap crotch pajamas, and tons of my own pants because I always needed “longs” and they were impossible to find way back in the 70’s when I started being aware that pants shouldn’t stop at the top of your ankle. I even made men’s shirts and I can honestly say I hated every stitch I made on those men’s shirts.

 

As I got older, I switched from making clothes to making blankets, quilts, pillows, bedspreads, curtains and other things for the home and Halloween costumes. Basically I like to create and some of my favorite creations have been in the shape of Halloween costumes for my children and grandchildren and uh well, for myself.

 

I was looking through a box of pictures when I uncovered a few Halloween costume’s gone bad *not to be confused with Halloween costumes gone wild*  that make me laugh as well as cringe.

One photo isn’t at all politically correct so if you get offended by such things then stop looking right now. I’m not kidding either.  To explain why being dressed up like this was o.k. in the time and place that I did it, would only serve to dig that hole a lot deeper and someone would probably take that opportunity to shove me in and kick dirt in on top and possibly bury me.  Besides, I’ve always dressed up as someone else and I never meant it in a mocking or disrespectful way, I was just dressing as something I wasn’t.  For instance, once I went as a Nun.  Trust me, I’m about as far from being a Nun as one can get.  I also went as a football player one year and one of the Blues Brothers another year.  Anyway, here goes and don’t say I didn’t warn you:

This was the “Witches Hat” I created for my daughter #2. She was the one and only at that time but for clarification sake, I’ll call her Daughter #2. I thought this was the coolest costume ever —-until she started trying to run from house to house with the other kids and kept falling. She’d fall flat on her face and then she couldn’t get up and we were all laughing so hard, we couldn’t help her up. She was so mad at me by the time that night was over and she still reminds me of that horrible night I tried to kill her. Also in that picture is my oldest son, the Scarecrow, and our English Bulldog, Tyke. Tyke loved being dressed up. NOT!

 

O.K. I warned you all. I may or may not have been a participant in this really bad Halloween costume. This couple was mild compared to some other costumes at that particular party.  It was great, until after the party and we they started trying to get that stuff off their skin. I think my their pores were black for several days. They really learned their lesson and paid for wearing this very politically incorrect costume—–uhm, in more ways than one.  Remember I said this was Halloween costume’s gone BAD and I meant that.  bad Bad BAD!!

 

I have several more pictures of Halloween costumes past but I’ll see if I survive this spare you.

 

Do you have any Halloween costume regrets? What was your favorite costume of all time?

Oh, and for the record, if this were me, you can bet I would have deep regrets over this choice of costumes. 

 

BOO Y’ALL

 

 

Where In The World Is Midlife Slices??

   xx

Want to take a guess where I am?

I’ll give you a clue.

I’ll bet you’ve figured it out now.

Guess what they gave me to sleep on?

Looks comfy, right?

Guess who I caught moonlighting here?

Mr. Harley Stud??

Is that really your cart, MHS? Does SMB know about this?

Could YOU find me a cot or a recliner?

Please?

HAPPY TRAILS, Y’ALL

Update:  I got a cot around 11 p.m. so I got a little sleep.  Daughter got some rest off and on and they are all scratching their heads because the Stevens-Johnson Syndrome creates a huge problem with what meds to give her.  She isn’t going home today and after the Dr. consults with another Dr. and they decide what procedure to do, we’ll know more.  Thank you all for the great comments, prayers, and good wishes.  Muahhh

Random Stuff Plus A Little Rant

Is it bad that now I can’t stand watching Katie Holmes but only because she’s married to Tom I know more than anyone else in the world Cruise?

Does it mean something is bothering me if I haven’t been out of my pj’s nor washed my hair or put on my face in two whole days but yet I baked something with more than 4 ingredients?

I hate seeing pictures of myself but wonder why other people don’t like seeing pictures of themselves.

I’ve had some crazy freaky goofy search terms that brought some even crazier freakier and goofier people to my site and I’m going to share some of those with y’all. The search terms are in bold and my thoughts are in italics just in case you couldn’t figure that out already. geezzz…….I’m a moron sometimes.

pellet in the butt uhm…well yes I did get that and it’s been great, actually.

sweaty crotch menopause Unfortunately it’s sad but true and it’s not pretty.

sexy aunt makes him wear sanitary pad I don’t even want to know where this was headed.

being odd Yes, it’s wonderful and you should all try it sometime.

tattoos of thistle I heart thistle but I’m not sure I could put her face on my toosh.

midlife boobbs uhm…first you should learn to spell boobs then second, it’s not a pretty site either.

piss hunter video This is a mystery to me.

duct tape girl Nope not me, but if I see her I’ll tell her you’re looking for her.

asian toe cleavage Is it different from Caucasian or Jewish or any other toe cleavage out there??

duck tape my mouth shut There are plenty who wish that would happen.

men desperate pissing in jeans Well unzip them for Pete’s sake!!

pissing hunter Uhm….again I have no ideas here.

Now I look forward to the newest round of search terms that bring you people to my site. I only wish I could live up to some of them and hope like hell I don’t resemble the rest of them.

Now since this is “random stuff” I have to ask. Why are people getting all upset over how much Palin allegedly spent on her wardrobe but no one says a word about the over 605 million dollars that Obama has raised and spent on his television shows or on his campaign overall? “Obama is spending $3.5 million a day on television ads,” said Evan Tracey, CMAG’s chief operating officer.”

What could America do with 605 million dollars? Just think all you bleeding heart Liberals how many people that money could help, but instead it’s buying television time, print ads, and radio spots plus funding a lot of plush travel. Before any of you say it, yes I realize McCain is spending too, but what he’s raised and spent pales in comparison to Obama. I honestly think anyone with $605,000,000,000.00 backing them and lots of charisma could be where OB is today.

Yep, I’m pissed alright. Does it piss anyone else off besides me that anyone spends this amount of money to get elected to a job that pays $400,000.00 a year plus “some additional benefits”? Does it bother anyone else that we’ve been in a Democratic controlled house for almost 4 years and this country has done nothing but get deeper and deeper in poo but yet it’s all the Republicans fault? Do I sound like a hater today?

Oh, by the way, I’m a registered Democrat and I’m embarrassed to say that in public. There ya go.

HAPPY TRAILS, Y’ALL
