This Girl"s Homemade Halloween Costume Might Be The Greatest Idea I"ve Ever Seen

Finding or making an awesome Halloween costume can cause a lot of stress. First of all, you need to decide what you want to be. Then, you have to think about the details: how much will it cost? Will it be comfortable? Can you make it at home? Will you freeze your butt off walking around in it? More often than not, store-bought costumes are expensive, cheaply made, and very, very uncomfortable.

…But this girl from The Crooked Feather has it figured all out. She didn’t get her costume from a store. Instead, she made it herself and it paid off amazingly.

It’s hard not to be legitimately jealous of these pneumatic wings. WOW.

The Crooked Feather

That’s a truly impressive mechanism for anyone to make, let alone someone so young (and who doesn’t appear to be a professional). She wins Halloween in her community, that’s for sure.

How did she make those wings? How long did it take? Where did she get those feathers?! So many questions, so much awesome.

If you love what she did, visit The Crooked Feather’s store page to see her handcrafted wings and accessories!

Betchy Linguistics: “But That’s None Of My Business”

This week’s Betchy Linguistics is more like a Know Your Meme because we’re covering a meme that needs to be in every betch’s repertoire. It’s called “…But That’s None of my Business.”

First, some examples:

So if you couldn’t put it together yourself (it’s okay, not all betches are known for our math skills) “but that’s none of my business” is your go-to for pointing out people’s everyday hypocrisy and/or ridiculousness without looking like you really give a shit.

Even though the above examples were kind of ratchet, you can totally translate these to everyday betch life, with some imagination. Some less ratchet, more betchy (not saying you can’t be both, but…) examples include:

“You said you were too busy to go out last weekend, when we all know you finished an entire season of South Park…but that’s none of my business tho.”

“You have 3000 Instagram followers but only 12 likes…but that’s none of my business.”

“You skipped my bday dinner cause you’re on a ‘diet’ but you had 4 Long Islands last night…but that’s none of my business.”

You’re mad at Kevin for being a SAB when you give out your number like it’s candy on Halloween…but that’s none of my business tho.” (Be sure to spell it “tho” as a symbol of your nonchalance.)

But betches, this isn’t just for the internet. Making a personalized meme every time you wanted to throw shade at someone would take wayyy too much time anyway. You can do it in person, too. You just talk your shit like you normally do, add “but that’s none of my business tho” real sly, and look away and casually sip your drink. You’re aware, but aloof. You don’t take bullshit, but you don"t really care that much, either. It’s the perfect move for the casual shit-talker.

Now that you’ve added a new shit-talking method to your arsenal you can get back to bitching about your coworkers, even though you’ve just spent the past few minutes reading this post…but that’s none of my business.
