I'm excited that The Little Mermaid came out on DVD this week and I've been taking some flack for its patriarchal content. I take this to mean you're on my side.
I love it. You should be a mermaid. In fact, you could be the little mermaid in transition, that way you could have the tail, but just kind of draped over your legs when you're sitting. Then, whenever you want to get up, you could just say 'shazam!!' and unfold your legs and stand up. You might have to hold onto your tail when you're walking though so you don't trip on it.
p.s. i haven't watched that movie in years...she *may* not say 'shazam' when she grows legs.
I bought the Little Mermaid this week and while it wasn't exactly as magical as when I was a child, I'd still be a mermaid in a fucking heartbeat. Costume approved!!!
Maybe you can modify it and be like Darryl Hannah (however you spell her name) in Splash when she's on shore, then you have to do even less work! Or just dress like anyone from an 80's movie, easy peasy.
Besides, mermaids get drunk on fresh water. You wouldn't want to be a cheap date, would you?

Or he could push you around in a wheelchair or something. Or you could get one of those motorized Rascals. That'd be fun too.
ReplyDeleteYou know what else is a bad idea? Brushing your hair with a fork. After wine. And not being careful about it. Yep...
ReplyDeleteI don't know why Boyfriend can't just pick you up and carry you around. Lazy bastard.
ReplyDeleteLove,

I think it's a great costume idea! Who wouldn't want to be carried and then recline on a sofa! I don't think it's an unreasonable request :)
ReplyDeleteI think its an awesome idea! My two year old daughter Gia would love it too ;)

ReplyDeleteReally, boyfriend won't pull you around in a seashell bespeckled wagon?
