    1. Hi Britt,

      Thank you for your comment. We apologize for including that costume, and we are removing it right away. We sometimes have folks put together roundups for us, and then we go over them before publishing, so we should have caught that costume and removed it – but for some reason it slipped through the cracks. We are sorry that happened and grateful that you pointed that out. It will be removed immediately. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, so we can correct that. We will be more watchful in the future for sure!
