Oh, btw, the way you used "Geisha's" in your post does not require an apostrophe.

No, you made it sound "jerky" as that is how you perceived it. I was just stating the simple facts, jerk or not. And another thing, I wish it was my first post and not my 6th. WTF? I suppose if I had thousands of posts, it would make it all right?

Bottom line: Ignorance doesn't excuse poor taste.

Anyway, this place blows. Don't bother replying as I am never coming back here. I've been reading all these threads since I started and I realize how silly this place is and not a place to speak your mind without getting hostility and grief. Not necessarily with posts from me (yours is the first), but I've read it all over this place. It's kind of pathetic.

Suzy - I gather you want to go as something scary. as for originality, that's gonna be pretty difficult if you have limits as to what you want to wear or how you want to look. besides, it's difficult as it is to be original so I wouldn't worry too much about being original, just do something fun. what about a vampiress or something like this (which I think is awesome):

had to look twice there

That is AMAZING ! I'm gonna make a study of it this weekend and see if i can pull it off. Love it !

(are those nipples is see peeking out of her cleavage ?)

so i am guessing we can count you out on the supporting membership drive?

and just for the record - i think this Is a place where one has to be able to explain their positions and just not spout garbage and expect people to eat it.
You can call that 'hostile and grief' but i would disagree with you -

except that you made your blanket statement and ran away, so what's the point.

Strange that an 8 year old is dressing up as a prostitute.

And good riddance. Christ...

Thank you baby.

Actually, she does know what a Geisha is. I had to explain it to her. haha!

And, I went as a prostitute when I was in 4th grade. How bad of a hypocrite can I really be, especially since I was in fishnets and a short skirt?

At least her gown will cover her completly.

Geisha women maintain many different relationships with men. They are not prostitutes. It is appropriate for geisha to have a patron (danna), whom she is involved with emotionally, economically, and sexually, however it is up to the geisha whether she wants one or not.

You could be Rhiannon. I did that a few years ago and it was beautiful.

I was just about to say this. it's a common misunderstanding re: Geisha women.

Funny that this user left the ledge today, but we have a new member by the name of Ricky....

God damn it...where is page three of this thread? Stupid broken Ledge. *kicks it*

Have you guys seen or heard of the Anna Rexia costume that is new for this year? It's a long black one peice top for women with a measuring tape belt. Seeing as how it comes in plus sizes, it's obviously a joke. Of course people are foaming at the mouth about it but given my stance as an equal opportunity offender...I love it.

We went and bought Samantha's costume today. She is going as Marliyn Monroe, with the white dress. I can't wait to see them and have a picture of them taken. I'll be sure to post.
