You forgot about the sexy Big Bird costume. Just kidding, from what I’ve read in your blog, you are way too good for that.
Nice to see a post with creative Halloween costume ideas for women, instead of the usual “Sexy ____”
I discovered your blog through your post on the Liz Jones’ criticism of women who wear no makeup.
Hey Ashley,
Thanks, I’m glad you liked the costume ideas, I tried hard to avoid the sexy_____ type costumes, and I hope you enjoyed the Liz Jones post, I will have to have a read back over that and refresh my memory about what I said. Do you have a blog of your own that I could check out? Please comment me the url if you do, Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and for commenting, hope you will stop by again some time 🙂 Breige x
