WAMAC: Women's Auxiliary Monster Army Corps

[vpdogjoe]

Elizabeth, Thanks for sharing that article about girls digs horror flicks.  I went to Michael's (craft store) today and they got lots of Halloween stuff out.  Lots of props of skulls, rats, gargoyles and many more. Just going down that aisle sure put you in Halloween mood!

You are most welcome, Cuz! I hope that you enjoyed the articles. 

I was at Michael's last week, with my Mom-- but she did not want to go in (waited in the car) so it was a quick dash and  I could not linger or browse very long. 

In another thread on this forum someone mentioned Michael's "Spooky Town" line (if I have that right) of miniature houses had a little wolf man figure where the tombstone said L. CHANEY on it.  I popped in to get a couple of those (which I happily found on sale) and while there bought two little busts (resin, faux stone look) that really have the fun look of the busts at Disney's Haunted Mansion-- one is the Frankenstein monster (says Frankenstein on it, but... ) and the other says Bride of Frankenstein. 

And yoo hoo Miss Drac... from now on I must say get thee behind me, girl! I went into the Yankee Candle shop today and you unleashed a monster! ;-D (Will have to share that adventure later, though, as well as two nifty Halloween t-shirts finds at Target today.)

Sounds like a wonderful idea but why exclude men? They're horror fans
too.

Hi Jawsddd
Of course the men are welcome to post!  Talk to us!

[jawsddd]

Dude, it's the WAMAC, WOMEN'S AUXILIARY MONSTER ARMY CORPS.

Almost every thread here in the UMA, are made by guys or posted by guys.
So the UMA gals would like a place for themselves.
It's not excluding the guys, but we should let them do their own thing, and stick to our 90 million threads

I can just imagine how that must have went for you.

Scatter (approaching a group of women): "Hey ladies, what say we get together later tonight, strip off all our clothes and dance together in a circle under the pale moonlight?"

...followed by awkward silence and the women backing away in terror.

Oh noooooooooooo........ I never mentioned dancing naked until after their senses were overwhelmed by my German chocolate cake. At that point, they were mine.

Jawsddd, it seems that you are new to the community, having just joined today.  Welcome to the boards and the UMA.

From your posts it seems you popped by this thread here first thing, rather than swinging through the introductory threads.  It's always a good idea to go there first and introduce yourself to the community so the folks here can learn more about you.  You will find the sections for introductions in the GUEST BOOK on the home page.

And to reiterate what has been said here... this thread (as evidenced by the men who have and are posting in it) does not exclude men.  However, if you have concerns about the thread topic or the content, the most direct and effective thing to do is to click the link at the top of the page where it says STAFF LIST.  That will take you to a list of folks who moderate the boards here.  You can contact them directly via private message, regarding anything having to do with this thread that might be of concern.

Miss Drac, I took your advice today and while I was out going to the grocery store I popped into Yankee Candle. It was loaded with temptations!  They were out of the little skeleton in the coffin lights at my store, but they did have a catalog with a picture of one.  Happily, it turns out they can ship things, so although they were out, I was able to order one and it will be here very soon.  I'm going to keep it out all year on my desk here with my year-round monster stuff... and his name will be Coffin Ray. 

I picked up some BLACK (oooh!) tea lights for the coffin guy when he arrives, a couple votives... and I got the double taper candle holder that is like a skeleton American Gothic, which I thought was pretty unique.

There were so many lovely things, though-- it was hard to decide.  And in the catalog they had a skeleton playing a pipe organ that really reminded me of the Phantom of the Opera-- made me think of you, Miss Phantom Fan!
