Have we spoken about Party City's Toddler Cop costume

[UMaineTeach]

I get annoyed just walking into party stores like PC. Between the sexy little girl costumes and the be a Mexican/be an Indian costumes I'm done. I feel like as long as these things are mass marketed people will think they are OK. You should have to try harder than going to the strip mall to dress as a stereotype of a culture. You should have to go to a super pervy underground borderline illegal website to get a sexy toddler costume.

DS wants to be a cat for Halloween. The only ears available at Target had sparkly studs on them, they didn't even look like cats ears, just triangles on a headband with decoration. The tail was this lumpy fuzzy thing. Not impressed in general with Target's selection this year.

At least one of my cats has worn a corset like thing. Amongst other things.

It's a wonder I'm still alive, really.

You can't say this without posting a picture!

I was a cat one year for halloween. My mom made the costume. It was basically a black hooded synthetic fur jumpsuit with long legs and sleeves, a tail, ears and whiskers. I looked oddly like... a FUCKING CAT.

WHAT THE SHIT people.

DS wanted to be a cat last year. First it was hard finding cat stuff that was not pink. Then I wanted ears and could find NOTHING that was remotely cat like. I borrowed ears from a friend who wore them with a college outfit 10 years ago. So annoying.

I think that is a well reasoned letter and I agree with it. The irony is not lost on me that it's posted on a website called Hot Moms Club.

She is adorable! I like that her tutu is made to look more like the body of the frog vs. just a skirt. Compare to this. I mean cats aren't pink and they don't have weirdo front corsets. 

this is how i know i was raised cheap b/c if LB wanted to be a kitty cat, i would get this for her and then the next halloween, i would cut the tail off, add a hat and WALLA! witch.

i could probably stretch that shit out to a couple more costumes - halo and wings for a dark angel. just wings for a fairy.

lol

Allow me to tell you about the time I was a polar bear for Halloween. And a ballerina polar bear the following Halloween. 

My mom sewed that damn bear costume from scratch. No way I wasn't wearing it at least twice.
