It's here.....

Yes.  It has finally arrived.  And I'm sure you'll all be delighted to hear that it is even more horrific in the flesh than it was on my computer screen.  Now I can enjoy the fabulous tactile quality of the shiny shiny polyester and very much look forward to Photo Shoot Day itself, where I will get to model this fashion masterpiece for all and sundry.

Here's how things went down just a few moments ago.....

*PING*

USPS NOTIFICATION: Your parcel has been delivered.  Left in mailbox.

Me: "Oh fabulous...."

So innocent from the outside... you'd never know the horrors within.
But I do.  Oh yes.

How can even the wrapping paper be dreadfully tacky?  Who
ARE these people?

It just keeps getting worse.  I even know what the acronym on
the sticker stands for.  

First glimpse.
 First thought "its very brown"
Second thought "its not very nice, is it?"

Finally - the full horror revealed.  I can't believe this is actually
now IN MY HOUSE and, whats worse, is that I paid $90 for the
"privilege"!  This is the front, btw.

But the party continues in the back (steady).  So, no matter the
angle, have I got a bear swimming costume for you! 

Oh man.  This is not going to end well for me.
