Don't you just LOVE the Wizard of OZ? I mean I was so totally scared by the Flying Monkeys and the Wicked Witch of the West but it was all so cool, I just love that movie! And the Lollipop Kids and the Mayor of Munchkinland and all that, so fun. It would really be fun to watch the movie in costume as a party idea. And not just the usual Dorothy and Toto costumes, although they are very cute, but what about dressing up in a Flying Monkey costume? Everyone loves the Tin Man and the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion so those are great costumes but the bad guys are good too! So I'm thinking now about a movie night where we watch the Wizard of Oz in costume and eat popcorn because I think all the corn comes from Kansas anyway and really I'm just always looking for a reason to dress in a Halloween costume! Follow the yellow brick road!

Duh! I JUST realized Father's Day is this Sunday, June 21. I'm in a jam for time but I think I've got a big idea. My dad is a Trekkie. I mean he just loves all that Star Trek stuff even though to me some times it's kind of corny. Except the new Star Trek movie wasn't corny at all - it was way cool. Anyway, here's my idea: a Star Trek costume for dad. I mean he totally loves the shows so why not? Now the only question is Spock or Captain Kirk? That's sort of like a Coke or Pepsi decision. Or boxers or briefs except there's no way I want to think too hard about that when it's my dad! Anyway, I'm thinking a Star Trek costume for dad would be the ultimate cool Father's Day gift and way better than a necktie that he will never wear. He will wear a Star Trek costume to watch TV and the DVDs and who knows what else. But I still don't know if it should be Kirk or Spock. Maybe I should just get both :)

One thing is for sure - I'm getting dad Spock ears for Father's Day no matter what!

Hey did you know you could get free shippng on orders over $49.00 at SpiritHalloween? I don't know how long it's going to last but I noticed on their site you could get free shiping when you spend over $49 - well duh, I only wish I could ONLY spend $49. Seems I can't get out of any Halloween costume store for less than a couple hundred bucks! It's worth it just to get some cool decorations and also stuff for beach parties and bar crawls...in fact someone I know is having a toga party next weekend. I gotta go and check out what they have! Later!!! 

Am I getting fat or what??? Okay, maybe it's just because it's bathing suit season and my booty in my bikini is a bit much but I do have some big girl friends and I feel their pain. I mean they're not even fat, they're just bigger than me - pretty, shapely, just big. So what are they supposed to do about getting clothes? And more important :) Halloween costumes that fit and look good? I looked around because the countdown to Halloween is underway even if it's beach time and I found out that Spirit Halloween has plus size costumes! Cute, fun plus-size Halloween costumes that are perfect in the design and cut and some of them are only available in plus sizes which kind of sucks because I liked a few and they won't fit me. But that's okay, my BFFs will all have cute costumes for Halloween-yay! And if I eat all the pizza and fries on the boardwalk like I want to, there will still be plenty of Halloween costumes for me to choose from. Go plus size!
