What NOT to wear on Halloween...a Cupcake Story

I thought it was my duty to
get out a much needed
Public Service Announcement
for all parents who are in the process
of buying or making your child's 
Halloween Costume.


Many people love Halloween.


Personally, I am not a fan.

And it all stems from her:

Yes, Miss Piggy.

Oh she isn't as INNOCENT as she looks people...Read on.

Now, I am sure all of you THINK you have the

bestest mother in the world, but sorry...truth is..I DO!

By way of her witty, crafty and fiscally conservative ways (especially on Halloween), my sisters and I lived a good life and never new that we were, in fact, NOT the Rockefellers.

In all her glory, my Mom did commit one 

fatal mistake during my rearing. 

She made me a "homemade" 

Miss Piggy Halloween costume.

That I had to wear to a 5th grade school Halloween Party.

With a pillow stuffed in my costume to "fatten me up". 

Tied with a rope.

Donning my "paper plate on a string Miss Piggy mask" that had the snout custom made out of a Styrofoam cup complete with 

two holes poked in the end for "added realness".

Or to avoid re-breathing my own CO2.

Yikes that Orange Shag!!  Oh and yes people, I do have 5 fingers in real life...WTH?!

I wore the damn costume, because I never liked to argue with my Mom much...she and my Dad worked hard. 


So I sucked it up.

And ended up with a "prize" and 20 years of therapy.

Hey you're a PIGGY...Miss PIGGY WIGGY...Hey PIG!  
OINK

You STINK like a PIG, PIGGY!

Little Creeps.

The "Judge" of the costume contest took pity on my ridicule 
and in a FEEBLE attempt to divert attention, 
made it WORSE and awarded ME the PRIZE for 
BEST COSTUME.

Thanks a--hole.

Winner or Wiener?

As you can see, I haven't moved on.

Now, to return the favor in life, I made Sophia this fantastic

watermelon slice costume a few years back.

Nice SEEDS!

Happy Little Watermelon!

Everyone thought she was a ladybug.

This is a WATERMELON...Not a Ladybug!

It almost came to blows with the neighbors.

PEOPLE...SEE THE HAT! 
DUH!!

So...in a nutshell think long and hard
about the Halloween attire you
place on your child this year.

Gotta go..I am making Sophia
her costume again this year.....NOT!
