Here & Now: Meet Tom

Ah, Halloween. The holiday when my Gothic fancies seem perfectly normal, when I can bedeck my house in creepies and crawlies and let ALL of the skeletons out of my closet...

I found this handsome fellow at Target. His tag tells me that when I light the wick, orange wax should begin to drip from his eye sockets! I'm anxious to try him out (though sorry to have to disfigure him permanently!).

He certainly does have a winning smile, but if you look closely you'll see he's an orthodontist's nightmare. That's a serious case of Tom Cruise Middle Tooth Syndrome!
