It is July. It is July and they are already putting out Halloween stuff at the local Thrift Town thrift store. If it were Target or Safeway, I would roll my eyes and mutter something about commercialism. But since it is Thrift Town, and nothing is more than 5 dollars, I can say "Whoopee! Time to get some goodies for the dress up box!" Here is what we came home with last week:
There were lots and lots of princess and fairy dresses, too. (of course) but those were not for us. We have some fabulous princess dress that have been custom made for Maggie by my cousin.
The mermaid dress was bought expressly for Maggie's 5th birthday party. There will be an Under the Sea theme. The super girl dress was purchased for its pure Grrrrl Power. And for the shiny boots that accompany it.
I also bought a purple page girl wig. But that is for me. Why? Not sure. I have always wanted purple hair. Ahhh, yes...good old Thrift Town. So very very affordable. And yet, so very unnecessary. I realize that I am helping with the demise of the planet...
Consumerism!....Why can't I quit you?!
But look at those boots! And that mermaid tail! How could I resist?
Okay, so, apparently my National Corndog Awareness Day on the 15th of August is not the only time of year when Corndogs are celebrated. There is a very large, and very computer savvy group of people who get together every year and combine March Madness Basketball with the devouring of corndogs. This year, it will be on the 17th of March. And I just went to their website, and laughed out loud when I saw some of their posters to commemorate the day. Some of the ideas I have used myself!
And while I would like to add that I have been celebrating N.C.D.A day since 1990 ( seventeen years, suckahs!) I think it is wonderful that so many people are taking up the cause. The more days of corndog celebration, the better. Please understand that I am not trying to compete or anything, but I must make mention that although these corndog parties are great and everything, they are missing the one secret ingredient that I alone posess....
The tiniest, cutest corndog mascot in the world:
And THAT is all I have to say about that!
