These are great. That cockstume is so silken.
Tricia: "cockstume": absolutely brilliant.
The last monster is scary, but not nearly as scary as the monster just before.
Yes, Matt, cockstume is brilliant, so much so I assumed it was a typo. No one could think that up. Beautiful.
The penultimate monster is terrifying.
I should add the cockstume has a battery-powered fan to keep it properly, uh, inflated.
Ye for Richard Simmons. More awkward than ever, I just realize.
Gotcha... again
p.s. still randomness
Paul- Could that be an actual Bay City Roller wearing red? Am I remembering this or fantasizing about '70's Scottish bands visiting 'bondale?
Not a Bay City Roller in red, some anonymous hooligan instead.
But that was at the Bay City Rollers show, no doubt.
