I am going to be Ariel (The Little Mermaid) and my sister is going to be Belle (Beauty and the Beast). I wonder if mermaids are as offended at my costume as I am at the Native American costumes.

I guess if it was Pocohontas it would be different but it just doesn't sit right with me. Anyhow, I mean no offense to anyone out there reading who may be a mermaid.
Why not wrap toilet paper around your heads and into a cone. You could go as a conehead and consume mass quantaties. Toilet paper is muy cheap!
