"I wore a blond wig, a pink dress & matching headband, and some plastic wedge shoes to create the 'Barbie' part. To make the faux shrimp I cut up white knee-high stockings (using the elastic tops as the shrimp tails), did a few quick stitches and stuffed them with cotton batting, I finished by coloring the tails and stripes with red & pink markers. When complete, I attached to my dress with safety pins. The idea won me first place in the costume contest at the ad agency where I work!"
