I would like to add:

They have some sweet threads, and can probably make some with zebra print material if we have enough time....

Keep them coming! I still have no idea on my costume for Mothership Masquerade.

Okay, I'm trying to be more creative with my costumes this year and make them myself.

I've checked the fabric stores in my area and I'm not finding what I want. Anyone have any leads on finding the super furry/fuzzy fun fur fabrics? Maybe its just Bham doesn't provide the selection I need but I know what I want, something that's fun and huggable!

Way to go Tai!!! I found their Ugly Christmas Sweater link... now I'm shopping for things I don't need that aren't even for JamCruise! I guess some blame goes to vinceums, but his post only got me to their homepage before I went... SQUIRREL!!!
