Costume Quote by Kiersten White
““I frowned."You didn't dress up!" He grinned,opening my door for me. "Sure I did.I dressed up as the non-invisible man!" I smacked him in the chest. "Lazy." "Hey,I wear a costume every waking hour. You only dress up once a year,which I believe makes you the lazy one.However,you look really hot in pink tights,so I'll let it pass." "How noble of you.””
