I should’ve gotten first fuckin’ place! At least second! My Mr. T costume* was spot-on, the best in the building; it sure as hell was better than catwoman. I mean, really! Catwoman? Wasn’t that one cliche 5 years ago? and what does it take? A little latex mask? Come on!
I could see losing to the 2nd place (Princess Fiona–was her behind-the-back nickname, when she got wind of it, she made it her own…mad props–and it was a helluva costume, too), but some skinny bint with a whip? Uh-uh.
I can’t post any pics but my own, but a low-cut blouse without anything cleaving from it just don’t cut it, IMO.
Preach it. I’m still bitter that my fairy princess costume (linked in my Halloween costumes thread) not only didn’t win, it didn’t even finish in the money. I forgot what took 2nd and 3rd, but the “winner” was a pair who dressed as Thing One and Thing Two from The Cat in the Hat.
And who were on the committee that planned the costume contest.
Unappreciated by your peers? Your work isn’t even recognized by the judges? You’re one “I Hate Everybody” thought away from being a true bitter art student.
