Underage gymnast takes the costume prize

So Elvira and the Pope scooped the Shanghaiist award for best Halloween costume Friday night, but if we were handing out international prizes then this would be the one to beat:

Four year old "Peanut" is the daughter of NYC blogger MetroDad, who came up with the costume idea.

Our favourite part? The birth certificate taped to Peanut's back to prove to the IOC that she's actually 16.

Oh stop sourgraping about the beating the Chinese women gave the US women gymnastics team. LOL!

I love the humour. Haha. BBC1, I think this is more of a way to make fun of the whole situation rather than someone's sour grapes.

Bravo! Great costume! :) and cute too.

She's cuter than that 12 year old village girl that stole the gold medal for Bad China.
