Many times they seem to judge on "bling." It seemed to me that they were giving preference to "obvious use of a Breyer" in the costume contest, which is understandable. But it would be nice to have some idea what they wanted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371380495065351450.post-51442250865925883252011-08-02T11:35:27.867-04:002011-08-02T11:35:27.867-04:00No sour grapes here either.

As opposed to the group that just had a leftover Halloween mask. BTW the mascot wolf was not a rental costume, it was commissioned costume that the person owned. ;) Rentals are no where near that nice.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557299812549011731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371380495065351450.post-92226077011700085762011-07-31T23:51:03.314-04:002011-07-31T23:51:03.314-04:00I didn't think I would get an Esprit at all.

I just remember hearing how upset Breyer was a few years back that the names weren't put on entries to one of their contests by the volunteers. Perhaps I jump to conclusions but I assumed it was because certain names might go further than others.<br /><br />Trust me...no sour grapes here...I didn't enter but had my fair share of giggles over the costumes. As a rule, I don't enter such things...just observe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371380495065351450.post-31645386334788656542011-07-31T17:18:06.655-04:002011-07-31T17:18:06.655-04:00Who do you think won only because 'they' p...Who do you think won only because 'they' played favorites? Who didn't deserve to win by your standards? If you're going to complain publicly, might as well go the whole way and name names instead of a whisper campaign. <br /><br />Seriously, I'm tired of the sour grape public mutterings that happen after every such contest about how some entries clearly didn't deserve to win or some people only won because of perceived favoritism. It just makes the winners feel bad and makes the hobby look like it's full of petty people. <br /><br />It's just a contest, it's meant to be fun, and if you enter with any expectations of winning than most of time you are going to be disappointed. Enjoy the experience, and anything else is bonus. Most of us who entered lost, and we all thought we deserved to win or we wouldn't have entered in the first place. There were some pretty cool costumes out there and I'm glad I wasn't a judge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371380495065351450.post-59957671245287136272011-07-31T15:29:50.705-04:002011-07-31T15:29:50.705-04:00I loved your costume as well as Lady Godiva.

Not all of them just some. Oh well better luck next year.
