Surely you've been to a party (or thrown one of your own) that seemed like a good idea in theory and wound up being kind of god-awful. Frightening clowns, anyone? A reporter lady is looking for your story. This is what she says:
I am a newspaper reporter and am working on a story related to parents' arranging for costumed characters and impersonators (think Dora, SpongeBob, Spiderman, Hannah Montana) to entertain at their kids' birthday parties. Specifically, I'm hoping to chat with parents who (in the last year-to- 18 months) had a hard time finding the desired character and/or were disappointed by what Dora (etc.) looked like when she arrived. Please contact me at katierosman@mac.com. Thanks so much!
