Add to the discovery someone called "Lettuce" is a favorite character with the fact that I am not inclined to ship air express Halloween costumes direct from Japan, and this mama was doing something she had never done before. Sew the equivalent of an ice capades costume from scratch. Without a pattern. A week sooner than I thought it was due because I had my events confused (although I should have known that she wasn't wearing a costume to her awards banquet. I must say I was actually feeling the sin of PRIDE because it came out REALLY well! Next stop the Hair Cuttery for some green hair spray. Hope it washes out...
