Ignore the crazy grump and be a pink witch for all of us. I think it sounds awesome! I would even do it too but am working 24 hrs Halloween this year. Do it and post the photos up here. Oh, and wave that wand around a lot and cure all of us!!!!0 -
THAT is a GREAT shirt!!!cahjah75 said:Susan
I think your costume will be wonderful! The woman obviously has no idea what a "survivor" has gone through. Her reaction was totally unjustified! I hope you have a wonderful time this weekend and wear your costume proudly :-) I bought a t-shirt from Zazzle that says "ghosts and goblins don't scare me - I survived breast cancer". You go girl!
{{hugs}} Char
I'm going to get myself one!!!
The other, "These things tried to kill me"....that one was great, also!!!

What a BOZO .. !!!! Rague - she is a MoronMyTurnNow said:Absolutely, NO!!
I am not offended in the least by this idea.....in fact, I LOVE it!! Perhaps this is one of those times that you have to have been there to comprehend the idea. Please wave your wand at all of us and have a wonderful time at the retreat!!
You're going as a Pink Witch .. what a creative idea!
I wonder if I'm going overboad with my pink/white flag hanging outside my home (5 ft x 7 ft), pink - find a cure stickers on my cars - I fight like a girl, breast cancer survivor license plates -- pink ribbon this, pink ribbon that .. Did I mention my dogs pink ribbon bandana's they wear around their necks - I guess it's my way of keeping and sharing - breast cancer is present - and active in our community, my home and my life.
Keep your head high and wave to the Moron next time you're at Wal-Mart.. LOL

You have been through hell and back. You go right ahead and plaster pink ribbon things anywhere you want!I think you deserve it!!0 -
Great
I think it's a great idea for a costume. Too bad you were too polite to "explain" the situation to her. Enjoy the retreat and keep that magic wand flying.

If I had a nickle, or maybe in these inflationary times a quarter for every time I said "I wish I had the magic for all of us" I would be a wealthy, wealthy woman!
I imagine this cashier has NO problem ringing up October's pink pooper scoopers, motor oil with pink ribbons on the label, pink shampoo, pink cereal boxes, pink toilet paper, pink coffee mugs, keychains, bottles of wine, etc etc.
You go~ good witch, and bring on the magic!!!!! You are one beautiful Pink Warrior~ and if anyone "deserves" to wear pink while bringing in the power, it is the sisterhood here at CSN!

I like the idea Rague. I am not for sure what that lady even meant. You dress up miss pink witch and wave that wand and end cancer forever!
Some people take life way too serious, and, when you have been through bc, you realize you just have to live!
Have fun,

Copycats?
Why do I have a feeling that there are going to be about 50 CSN members dressed up as Pink Witches this year? Your costume idea is GREAT!!! I would get it to market as soon as possible. And won't this woman feel foolish when Walmart is selling them next year!!!

You can't fix stupid!
People say such stupid things sometimes, clearly because they have no clue what they are talking about. Great Idea! Where you gonna be, I could use a good positive zap

Rague,
I think this is a great costume idea and I think that she had no right to make a comment at all. I love the idea that you will be a good witch fighting this disease. What is offensive about that? Post pictures for us.

I was so perplexed by the odd response you got from the cashier...I simply couldn't get it or her out of my mind. I wondered why on earth she would react so vehemently. I of course could be 100% wrong here, but the only thing I could come up with is that she wasn't paying attention to what you said, and she for some odd reason understood that you were a Pink Witch waving your wand to BESTOW breast cancer on un-suspecting women! I think if someone told me that, I would have reacted the same way she did!
On the other hand, she may just be a nut job~ but I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt!

Another Opinion - Maybe She Was Afraid
Hi Susan:
This being breast cancer month (I really hate October) we are bombarded daily with reminders about breast cancer. Maybe she didn't know a survivor but maybe she did know someone who had passed. Maybe she was due for her annual mammogram - that makes everyone nuts. Let's try and give her the benefit of the doubt even if she is a b**ch.
God is all forgiving - let's try and follow his lead.
Personally I think your idea was so awesome and original. I'm sure lots of people wish they had thought of it.
Have fun on Halloween.
