Right.  But I do like her hat.  And I entertained the notion of being a tired\/dead nurse with copious body fluids on her but Brian informed me that that would be &#8220;The Lamest Costume Ever.&#8221;  Here are some other characters that have crossed my mind as cosplay-making goldmines.

Oh, how I would love to be Carol Channing.  NOT AFRAID OF MARMALADE!!! Then there&#8217;s sweeney todd and Mrs. Lovett, particularly the beach scene.  Can you imagine making that though?  I would have to wear it to the beach one day.  And we can&#8217;t forget the Doctor and Donna Noble, again with Ben filling in the partnership.  But where am I going to find a brown pinstripe suit and trench coat in his size for under 10 bucks?  Next we have some solo costumes.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/27b9f-jem1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/27b9f-jem1.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251265515786014642\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/61146-lindsay.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/61146-lindsay.jpg?w=225\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251265518550103250\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/19d5c-pattychristmas.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/19d5c-pattychristmas.gif?w=251\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251265522541288002\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Jem, Lindsay Funke, or Patty O&#8217;Green.  Eh.  I feel like these have all been played and\/or they would be too difficult.  I need something fresher, funnier, and simpler.  Time and money just do not allow for much creativity this year.
