i met a possum

Well, the first Bizarre Sexy Costumes post was a hit, so I thought I'd revisit. If you've been reading my blog, you know that Paul and I are going as Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett this year. So I've been looking for ways to not make my costume from scratch - steal a skirt and corset from another costume and add Lovett-like accessories like a rolling pin and a pie. My pie purse came in the mail the other day and it is fabulous!!

Anyway, in my quest for costume pieces, I've stumbled across Yandy.com. They have the biggest selection of Sexy Costumes I think I've ever seen - over 1,000, I believe. Of course they have your standards - mermaids, French maids, policewomen, nurses, etc. But they get even better. And so, Willy Wonka's Revenge is completely courtesy of Yandy.com. We're going to start with a series of costumes I like to call, "Perverting my Childhood".

Boy Robin! Except not. I'm sure Adam West would have prefered this to Burt Ward. Just a guess.






Strawberry Shortcake. I wonder if this one is also scratch and sniff? GROAN, I know!!





Willy Wonka, our post's namesake. This is definitely the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka, and I am really having some mental disturbance in trying to associate Gene Wilder Willy Wonka with sex. I mean, obviously it can be done, but I guess this is a struggle I'm going to have to face on my own.






Really? Hahaha, I think this is even Bedtime Bear. Clever.

GEM!! I have a friend who went to a costume party as Gem a couple of weeks ago, but she didn't look quite like this. Close, maybe, but not quite. :)

Walt Disney is rolling over in his cryogenic chamber right now.

Raggedy Ann will never be sexy to me. She just won't. I find both Raggedy Ann and Andy to be a bit horrifying.

Rainbow Brite, not you too!!!!

Now, these I find rather clever. A killer bee? C'mon. That's funny. I wish the bra didn't say "killer", though. Let people figure it out on their own.

Trophy Wife. Also amusing.

A Dirty Martini! I find the placement of those olives to be particularly hilarious. Again, don't care for the label... I think part of the fun of having a clever costume is seeing which people are smart enough to figure it out.

This one is just a little bizarre to me. Do people really want to see Uncle Sam as a sex symbol? Although if the Liberty Tax people would give this costume to girls and make them roam around on the streets during tax time, I bet they would get a lot more business.

I'll let you know if I end up cannibalizing anything from Yandy for my Mrs. Lovett costume.
