Just in case anyone needs some ideas on how to be a Pirate-Fortune-Telling-Gypsy-Wench next Halloween I put this picture up. If only I would have sewn that stuffed parakeet to my shoulder, then everyone would have known that my intention was to be a Pirate. See my understated sword and randomly placed bandanas? Don't be frightened by my eclectic booty. That's what pirates do. They collect random blankets from Mexico, Monkeys from South America and Lava Lamps from Spencer's. Gawd! Didn't anyone else see that Johnny Depp movie, "Pirates of the International Waters?"
