Fearsome Lady Pirate

Here is Miss J as Ringlet Red, a character she once played in a children's show, adapted for a more adult crowd for Halloween. As has been her habit for several years, Miss J worked the door at her dear friend Miss Lola's Halloween Open House. Miss J quickly discovered an amazing thing about pirates: they can say anything and get away with it. One mother did not take kindly to Miss J's remarks about her little pirate son, "Argh, laddie. Ifn you be a few years older..." that's actually as far as Miss J got before Mom said, "OK- we're going!" and whisked the mini pirate away.

And speaking of the little ones, Miss J enjoys the hell out of seeing them all dressed up for Halloween. She loves making them say, "Trick or Treat" before she'll dole out candy, and of course asking to explain themselves when they are costumeless. She does NOT enjoy them so much when she's eating her morning-after-Halloween breakfast at a local eatery and they're screeching loud enough to peel the paint off the walls. Parents- REALLY??? You can't take them the hell outside rather than making the rest of us suffer with you? Miss J didn't have children for a reason. She'd rather not have to endure yours under such circumstances. If you don't want to have to control them, how about at least staying at home?
