Adult Pink Marionette Costume

Description

Why… do birds… suddenly appear…?

There is something deeply terrifying about the way that something lovely, bright, and sweet can be shifted and turned into something rather spooky. It’s not just us, we know, because there is a rash of phobias centered around things that should be otherwise kindly that drive people into a near madness of terror. We’re talking about the smiling clowns that grin just a little too wide, leaving you to wonder what is going on in their made-up heads. Or the perfect twin girls standing and holding hands and staring at you with wide doe-eyes at the end of a seemingly serene hotel that leaves you swallowing a dry lump and backing into your room, desperately hoping that nothing disturbs you… ever again.

And, especially here at the office, our leading fear seems to be the delicate doll that can take on its own life and may quickly turn to act in any number of surprising ways. Hauntings aren’t uncommon in the office, of course, and most of them are just particularly curious how we manage to so flawlessly apply makeup to undead or spectral skin. The dolls, though? They stare. Trust us, there is nothing more terrifying than seeing almost-human faces glaring at you across a dark room. You immediately begin to question if there are more than you can see. How many dolls are watching, you begin to wonder. Ugh, skin is crawling just reporting this!

So, you are more than welcome to take this Pink Marionette costume off our hands! Don’t get us wrong. It is adorable. The pink pullover dress has puffy short sleeves and has lovely contrast thanks to the black ribbon, hemline, buttons and bows. The headband marionette attachment makes for a great conversation starter, especially when your friends can pull on some strings and move your limbs thanks to the arm and wrist cuffs. But, the minute you start walking around with your staccato, jerky motions and cock your head to an unnatural angle, those buddies are going to be running for their lives. (Which, we admit, might be great to see.)
