Return of the Spider Vixen

So I am thinking about Halloween that is coming up. I am in need of a costume and the failure of the Spider Vixen costume from last year haunts me still. So I was in JoAnne's Crafts, home of reject art teachers and scary crap that only old ladies and really, really, really gay men would like. I fall into none of the above. My friend was buying something fluffy. But the store makes "Hello Kitty" seem mild.

Well, I started to look at my choices. Nurse with fishnets, Swedish milkmaid with fishnets, an even better Spider Vixen outfit. Or at least larger. A flight attendant outfit, Casperina, the Sexy ghost. Or some random combination therein.

It is appropriate as I write this I am listening to the Rolling Stones:

You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, you just might find
You get what you need...

There was a snake lady suit, a policeman's uniform (add a boom box and the imagined strip-o-gram will seriously hurt my co-workers), a female pirate costume (the mind reels on that one given a certain in-joke that uses "arrrggghhh!" liberally).

I just wish I had asked what exactly are "husky girl sizes." Sigh.
