Is This the Best Store in San Francisco?

Posted in adventures in life, holidays, i like this, it's fall now with tags brokester, costume accesories, halloween costume ideas, hello kitty costume, i may or may not read yelp just for fun, yelp on October 30, 2009 by thedith

Uh, I want to be this

So, Halloween is upon us, yet again. And, once again, I have not given proper thought/time to rummaging together a proper costume. This year, I have the added bonus of being a brokester, and ergo, unable to afford the cost that “rummaging together a proper costume” entails. Then, today at work, I hit the cheap costume gold mine! I’d tell you what it is, but I don’t want you to steal my idea. Annnywayyy, costume idea firmly decided upon, I realized I had no idea where to get the accessories that I need. That’s where Yelp came in. That’s also how I stumbled across this totally incredible review for some store in the Mission called “Foxy Lady Boutique”…

Foxy Lady has a fantastic way of combining two of my favorite things; dressing up and being a whore.

…ps- Avoid the bacon dog cart until you’ve tried on your outfit. You’ll be happy you did when you can zip it up.

This sounds like the best store ever.

IMG00334-20091028-1328-1 So, some music company: a) keeps sending me really bad CDs, b) thinks I work at Conde Nast, c) just delighted me with this wonderful holiday sampling. I can’t wait to upload these to my ipod…or not.
