Only 15 Shopping Days Until Halloween.

Let’s face it – we all have the same problem: the selection of Halloween Costumes for Baby Dolls is just too limited. Amoeba Proteus, Electric Butterfly Valve – who hasn’t purchased one of these unimaginative Halloween costumes for their doll?

And the price! Last year’s Hazardous Waste Management costume cost $2,154 and it chafed the doll’s knees! And the Halloween Costumes for Baby Dolls’ Customer Service Department? Forgetaboutit. They argue consumer negligence when the doll goes all glassy-eyed after wearing their defective Polycarbonate Impact Goggles. Consumer! Negligence!

Well, enough.

Last year Bossy’s daughter responded to your collective outcries with her 2007 line of Halloween Costumes for Baby Dolls entitled, Lord Hoping These Pay For My Upcoming Orthodontia.

First up is Molly, and as you can see she is A Devil:

Next is Jane. See Jane sit with a slack-jawed expression. That’s because Jane is A Cheerleader!

Which brings us to Rosie:

And last but never least, Poohie:

Don’t delay— own one of these costumes today for just seventy-three easy installments of $389.91. Uniform Shipping Rates. Uniformly expensive.

   When will your line of dog costumes come out? I don’t have baby dolls to decorate, but my dog is aching for some new duds.

   Is this what girls do? I wouldn’t know; I have boys, all boys.

   Will Bossy be hand-crafting a costume for said daughter? Surely that would be fodder for an upcoming Bossy Tutorial…

   Oh, Bossy. You know how you have these posts, “So and so asks Bossy what should this do about that?” I have a question!

   Bossy, you should do a post on what are the proper measures to take when you find out that someone has obtained your credit card information and is trying to order a new laptop on your card?!?!?!?!

   When the fraud department called, I was so slack-jawed that my chin nearly hit the floor. Only, after I got off the phone, did I think of ten million questions to ask the lady from HP who was saving me $1000 plus unknown amounts of grief.

   Now, I’m all “what should I do next?” (besides cancelling my card).

   P.S. I am scared of all dolls. Period. Dolls and clowns.

    Is it possible Rosie is actually supposed to be a ghost?

    My costume came today! I’m so excited. And have absolutely no reason to actually wear it. Whatever. As if that’s ever stopped me.

    I’m going to put her on the front porch so she scares the CRAP out of people.

    All I can say is: I’m glad my young’un is grown and I have cats. They’re too ornery for dress up. I’ve tried…

    My 4-year-old thinks he’s Martha Stewart and plans to make costumes for the family. I’m sure he’d whip up something for you and the dolls if you like.

    I thought it would be campy and adorable to buy a sheet and cut out two holes and go as a ghost last year. So I did.

    It’s very hard to find cheap white bedsheets, by the way.

    Anyway, it turned out to be about as creepy as that doll and more than a little bit klanny
