text: I found myself in a bind and not the kinky kind last Friday when after spending all my allotted costume shopping time dealing with car issues I faced the threat of having to appear at a Halloween party sans costume Quelle horreur nnI had six hours to find a costume that would befit a woman of my fabulous reputation Deciding that this was far more important than you know helping students scan documents or walking professors through checking their email I picked up the office phone and started making callsnnFirst I called Torrid I was not thrilled at their selection but I am a fashionminded plussize girl and they fit that niche While I was tempted to get their flight attendant costume I would have put on some corpse paint and gone as a Fright Attendantget it Get it Fuck you tool I know I am funny Misty S and I have a rule about dressing up as each others parents I do not dress up as a flight attendant and she does not dress up in an air force uniform It is helped save our relationshipnnThey had a Ms Lovett costume The Barbers Mistress Really but some hosebeast I work with and totally hate was going as that at another party and she handmade her costume and I could not possibly stand to have my costume compared to hers So that wentnnI got the idea to go as Little Red Riding Hood Having exhausted my options at Torrid and not quite daring enough to risk the vomitorium that is Party City I looked up Easleys nnBack when I was a mere Theater major you called it huh Easleys was synonymous with knows their shit Everyone who took costumingcosplayhalloween parties too seriously went there It was a name I could trust In fact I still have all the makeup I have bought from them over the years tucked away in a First Aid box one day someone will figure out it does not contain gauzebut until then I cannot afford a new box So I gave it a trynnEasleys how may I help younYeah I was looking on your site do you have the Plus Size Miss Red Riding Hood costume in stocknSounds of checking inventory No we do not but we do have the other one with the long black skirt and we found another one not on the sitenDescribe it to me pleasenCorset with gold braiding short black skirt red hoodnOh wow That sounds perfect Can I have you hold it for me so I can come by and seenNo You have to pay for them online before we can hold themnBut you said it is not available onlinenOh we are going to upload it to the site right nownOh okay I see itbutthere is no picturenYeah We do not have a picture of it It will be nWait I am supposed to pay for this sight unseen Cannot you just set it aside I will be there in like an hour I cannot afford to pay for this drive over there and find that it does not fit I do not like it etcnSorry no we cannotnUgh okay Thank younnDesperate and a little curious I went to order the mystery costume and what do you know not only was it invisble but shapeshifting Once in my checkout cart the price had changed WITH MAGIC to nnI called back And was put on hold nnYeah that is great Endlessly Looping Sound Clip but I really do not give a shit about the rental policy I just want my costumennI ended up hanging up I was not even sure I could afford the costume even if it was only nnSo I went home threw on the pink tafetta nightmare I wore at Fetish Prom slipped on a domino mask and some high heeled boots and went as a prom queen dominatrix I was the life of the partynnI know it sounds a little harsh of me to give them a star for this one mixup but seriously I have never needed to get plastic involved to get anyone to hold something for me I do not see what makes Easleys so special What are the odds of another fullfigured girl walking in within that hour time frame screaming QUICK I NEED A SEXY LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD STAT nnI say relatively low but that is only because I do not want to imagine that there is another me out there in the world I am enoughnnAfter the Halloween fervor I fully intend to stop by and see if they have that costume available still Because it sounds fabulous But I think it is important to know whether or not it will make my ass look fat before I make the commitment
