A Charlie Brown Christmas (Remastered Deluxe Edition)

see relatedIT'S AN UGLY SWEATER CHRISTMAS, CRAZYGRAMPASTUEY!
So my friend Rosa invited me to an Ugly Sweater Christmas party in Downey this weekend....!
Apparently, wearing an Ugly Sweater was mandatory (or else you had to pay $3.00 at the door) so I scrambled all around town to the many, MANY thrift stores in Los Angeles.
.......and not one of them had a god-damned ugly sweater.
It's moments like these that I curse living in L.A. - this time, for its' harsh emphasis on high fashion and 'looking good.'
Although Stuff White People Like claims that all the ugly sweaters were claimed by white people long ago for exactly these kinds of parties.
This was confirmed that night when this guy claimed he paid $20.00 for his sweater.
Anyway, determined not pay the cover charge, I just went ahead and MADE an "ugly sweater"
maybe not THAT ugly...but it got me in.God bless 99 cent stores for their cheap stick-on bows that stick to wool-knit, poly-cotton blends.
= EDIT =
For your viewing pleasure....!
why yes, that IS a stripper pole I'm hanging on to...!

I once traumatized my aunt by fumbling on my explanation on whether or not I had been wearing her creamy white and lavendar preppy Guess sweater.
Even to this day, she is self-conscious about buying clothes for me. I felt bad, but at least I wasn't arrested by the fashion police.
