Can anyone loan me... (1 Viewer)

...a nametag from a video shop?

Or a similar crappy job? Not a record shop, mind, as that would not quite fulfil the goal for which I need it.

Preferably with a man's name on it, though I can always stick something over it.

It's for a costume. I know there's already a costume thread, but, like, you know. This is a specific thing.

My costume is called "Shattered Dreams", and no, I'm not dressing up as a video store clerk. It's something much more upsetting.

Sure. There's even a selection of "popular" names to choose from.

That's awesome. Do you have anything that screams, "Three different kids by four different teen moms"?

My costume involves:

* A prom dress
* Said name tag
* Lots of smeared makeup
* Crying
* A pretty little Catholic-girl necklace
* A pillow
* Lost innocence
* "That bitch stole my boyfriend!"

Etc.

 

[oh shit]

space pirate then

Let me have a quick look through them. You want a man's name, yes?

you could google one up - print it out , cut it to shape and affix to your person using double sided stickytape- Please use safety scissors or ask an adult to help

Oh, this is awesome. Yes, a man's name. Something a little bit trashy, or, alternatively, something almost too posh to be on a nametag. Either one would work.

It will function as a white trash prom corsage.

A good idea, but the real thing always looks the best, and I'm not allowed near adults.

Anthony. Perfect. Oh my god, that is the MOST perfect. One of my other costumes was to dress up as my uncle Tony, but it would have been too much of an inside joke to a small group of people. Perfect way to combine the two. Oh, you have no idea how perfect...Or how grateful I am!

OK, I'm clutching an "Anthony" in my hot little hand (...)

what's the best way to get it to you?

I used work in a videoshop and we didn't have nametags but i did make my own once using the laminate machine and, uh

well...no, wouldn't be any good to you..uh...

*looks around*

*runs back out*

PM'd ya there. Thanks so much! I will buy you a pint in real life sometime.

Props for the prop.

And roxy, what's the point of working in a video store if you don't get a name tag? That's how you can tell what someone's name is!

Or something.
