Image source: ashtit

So I was supposed to got to a dress up baby shower with the theme L (baby’s name will be Lennox, anyway)… for 3 weeks I had been working on a Lorax costume, with each edit getting progressively creepier. I was nervous to wear it and was already embarrassed by it. Today was the baby shower and my husband stuck the costume on before I started getting ready, and thank God he did, cause holy hell imagine rocking up to a baby shower dressed like this!!!! I ditched the lorax and went as a Luche Libre wrestler instead.
