hallowe'en

i've never tried to actually make clothes before. Turns out they're complicated. And what's really going to bake your noodle is, they don't look complicated. It's the tailoring. the, oh, this is how a boyfriend would be shaped if he was two-dimensional. It simply doesn't make any sense. He's much more V shaped than i thought. On top of which somehow i broke the sewing machine yesterday? not broke in an unfixable way - but i was afraid for a minute. because for all of how nice the folks at the sewing machine and vaccuum shop are, they're a little christian for me, and i'm not sure what their hours are. And making a vest by hand is not an option. see, it's not even a crazy thing - three pieces of fabric. And it's not that i can't get it right. just that it's taking a little longer than i thought it might. So. For hallowe'en, we now have:

one ringletty blonde wig with a red bow
one neck-ribbon with golden heart charm
one pouffy-sleeved white blouse
one blue apron
one black external cleavage producer
one red ankle-length skirt
two appropriate pairs of shoes somewhere, i hope
one pair of brown, or gray, or greenish pants
one ivory long-sleeved slightly pouffy shirt with a collar
3/4 of a vest
one browny wig with a blue ribbon
two beer steins.

I think i'm done. After the vest. But. what kind of shoes do st. pauli girl and samuel adams wear? St pauli girl - the ho wears black strappy ones, but then, she is obviously imperfect, as she has no blue apron.
