Interpretations: Pumpkin Soap

So it's only September, but it's never too soon to start advertising your Halloween goodies. Don't WalMart and Target start in July? Anyway, I've been perusing (one of my favorite pastimes) the shops looking for not just pumpkin-scented, but pumpkin-shaped soaps. The jack-0-lantern seems to be a popular choice, and why not? It is probably the most recognizable Halloween symbol. Anyhoo, here are some finds:

Happy Halloween

I never dress up for Halloween, but this year, I did!!! I had a blast and hope you did too.

Now, I'm going to eat some candy to offset all the imbibing I've done. Tomorrow we start power blogging. Stay tuned!!!

WTF????

(Pardon the flash-you don't need to see that part anyway!)

It's Monday, and I need a stiff drink! I was on a little vay-cay all last week, and I swear it aint worth it sometimes! I get back, and NONE of my work was even attempted to be completed. So much for teamwork (another day, a much longer post...)

We're having this major Halloween party at work, and everyone is expected to dress up in some type of buffoonery. Yay for making a total jackass of myself! Not to be outdone, I head on over to Target to pick up a little costumery, and there's nothing there that tickles my fancy. Being the crafty chick that I am, I decide to buy this little makeup kit. I'll do something with it. Goth girl? Gene Simmons? Draculina? The possibilities are endless. I spend ten bucks for the thing-no big deal. But...I get home and really read the packaging, and there's this warning sign:

"This product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm."

HOLY SHIT!!!! I'm gonna birth defective babies if I wear this stuff??? Oh, wait. I live in the state of Maryland, so I'm safe! WHEW!!!! Seriously, why would you market a product to people knowing it contains lead and can cause birth defects? Is it me, or are the makers of this crap on meth?
