See THAT'S why we're not supposed to laugh at costumes any more. Tanya, I'm genuinely sorry your feelings were hurt.
Of course, a really unique costume is always going to generate strong feelings, positive or negative. You have to know when you buy such a costume that some people are not going to like it.
I've personally been singled out & had my picture posted in one of these threads, so I do know that feeling of shock & surprise when you see your own costume -- or even one you love -- singled out.
It's easy to pay lip service to the idea that everyone's tastes are different, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, etc. It's much harder to live with it when people's opinions are being openly expressed. Sometimes jarring, even.
