If you follow Boing Boing, you mighta seen their post about Baad Sheep, which sells ridiculously hideous sweaters online. Apparently they also host “Baad Sheep Ugly Sweaters” parties, which would be awesome to attend if one lived in California. Which one does not.
Anyhoo, I was telling the Spouse about it, because he sometimes appreciates my taste for the godawful, and I told him about the Festive Collection, which has those themed holiday sweaters ladies of a certain age wear when going to the mall to get all ooey about Precious Moments figurines, or to pick up the BOGO sale at Bath&Body Works.
“Should we get matching sweaters for the holidays?”
My heart skipped a beat. “Dude, don’t tease me. You say the word, I’ll go to Kohl’s right now and order us some matching sweatshirts. I would love that.”
He laughs, and shakes his head, as much in dismay at my tacky bent as to say ‘no, are you kidding me, woman, it was a joke!’
Maybe someday. Someday when he’s lost more of his marbles and has to drive with his mouth open (notice sometime: All old men drive with their mouths open. Why is that?).
And no, ‘I’m With Stupid’ shirts don’t count.

Oh, Megan, LOL! I am actually going to an “ugly sweater party” next weekend, I am going to scour the thrift stores tomorrow in hopes of finding one that lights up. Or maybe (oh please!!) one that has Precious Moments angels?? Do they have those?? I would win the prize for ugliest sweater for sure. Wish you were here.
BTW, must share tackiest thing I ever heard of–a few years ago, a friend was a bridesmaid in a wedding at the Precious Moments Chapel in Branson, Missouri. Sadly, I did not know the bride and didn’t get to go myself. I would have been kicked out for loud, smothered giggles anyway. Sigh.
