Someone call the flourescent police!

Ok, here is the lovely piece of yarn I wore to Joyce's Ugly Sweater Party last night.

I purchased this monstrocity at our local Value Village for an unbelievable $5.99!

I know you are thinking: why would anyone pay more than .99 for this?

Well, I attempted to reason with the pricing manager through a very empathetic cashier.

This sweater is just too ugly to charge $5.99, I mean look at this angora number for just $3.99, can you adjust the price, pretty pretty please?

And my answer, after all that work groveling at the thrift store?
I am sorry , we won't adjust the price. Do you still want it?

I was torn, but after realizing that this Highlighter-gone-mad sweater might just be the ugliest thing at the party, I gave in and paid the outrageousprice, giggling inside, as I imagined Joyce's look when she saw this piece of artwork!

ps- It as worth it. The party was a smashing success and I have never seen a room full of more unattractive sweaters in my life, or more giddy women ( sans children and husbands), munching on divine appetizers, dishy drinks and laughing until our faces hurt.

Thanks for the good time Joyce . We must do it again!
