Poor James.
Though I will not ruin his life by sharing the picture publicly, one of my nephews not only adorned the "pink nightmare" bunny suit but thoroughly enjoyed it. He was, of course, too young to know he should be embarrassed. His father was embarrassed for him.
His mother is a great fan of A Christmas Story. So my brother decided to construct a leg lamp for her a year or two ago.
By means I won't strive to remember, he acquired a mannequin leg and dressed it in a stocking. Then he needed a shoe. So he carried the dressed leg through the local mall to get it fitted (and of course was witnessed by associations who have doubted him ever since). At last, he ran a wire through and implanted a bulb... at which point the leg looked absolutely hideous. Rather than "the soft glow of electric sex" exemplified in the movie, the light revealed an extensive wire mesh within the model.
So, instead of pretending that octogenarian spider veins can be attractive on a twenty-something's immaculate tease, my brother broke down and bought the genuine article. Yes, it came in a wooden box marked FRAGILE. Last I saw it, it was stationed prominently in the atrium as a toddler played with the tassels.

These last few casts have been fantastic. You fellas seem to be having more fun these days. Keep up the laughter.
Looking forward to 2015.
