I hope _all_ the girls at my Halloween party come like Paris. What? ---

Does that outfit come with a camcorder? ---

Better still, does it come with the body to put it on? Otherwise, I guess I’m stuck going as a 45 year old harried and haggered mother of three…_again_. At least my parts are real. A bit gravity-stricken, but real, nonetheless. ---

Ya know I plan to go to a Halloween party as either Ozzie Nelson or Jim Anderson, but if I could find one of those in my size… 😃 I could scar some psyches for life! ---

Well, it certainly could be the scariest costume this year… ---

Whoever they got to model that outfit is _ **HOT** _. ---

Hey Guinastasia! Make sure you make your next post a good one. It will be number 20000. That is some kind of record surely! 🙂 ---

Matching kneepads should be included. :o ---

Note that they’re all out of _small_. There’s a joke in there somewhere, but I can’t quite put my funnybone on it. ---

Note also that the other sizes run small – just like expensive clothes in general. Shoddy, foreign-made merchandise or playing to their audience? You be the judge. ---

And what exactly makes this a Paris Hilton costume? The _name tag_? Yeah, that’s worth paying fifty dollars for. Does it at least come with a blonde wig? DD boobs? A piece of the family fortune? What a joke. Anyone can whip up their own slutty outfit and “Paris Hilton” nametag. It’s just a way to get rid of the “slutty cowgirl” costumes that didn’t sell last year (not to mention the Taco Bell dogs that have been sitting in storage since 1999). ---

Hey – I have one of those Taco Bell Dogs. It was a gift from an [ex-]girlfriend. Here, let me see if it still talks… it’s been more than a year since I took it down from the shelf. [chihuahua]\*I think I’m in love… I think I’m in love… I think I’m in love… I think I’m in love… I think I’m in love… I think I’m in love… \* [/chihuahua] Yep!
