Romance Interrupted

We started the evening off with our favorite customer from yesterday, Lynn, the sporting pirate chick. She came in yesterday with great news.

"I've rented with you every year. But this year I have a bunch of parties, so I was going to buy a costume. But all the stuff out there is plastic crap. And it's expensive, too!" she proclaimed.

Welcome back, Lynn! We love loyal Dress Up customers like you.

Lynn let us dress her up like a lady pirate, if there is such a thing as a "Lady" Pirate. We are all fans of Johnny Depp and the "Pirates of the Caribbean," so we maintain that pirates have a certain sort of gypsyesque aura about them. We played and she delighted in the creative process and walked out with a hot costume.

She brought her man back tonight and he cooperated admirably as we dressed him up like a minion of Johnny Depp. Tim was a great sport and walked out with a comfortable, flashy, functional costume to complement his gal. WE LOVE GUYS LIKE TIM!

So as the waxing moon rose higher in the sky the evening began in romance and continued with happy customers walking out as King Arthur, a Court Jester, a Damsel in Distress and her hero, a Musketeer. We even sent a gracious Beauty Queen out the door with a 1980's prom dress.

And then the flow of the evening was brought to an abrupt and cartoonish halt.

Our shortest Costumer (not to be confused with a customer), Barb, came walking out of the dressing room proclaiming she had found her costume for the year on the children's rack.


Need I write more?

We laughed so hard there was a line for the bathroom.

"Pika Pika Choo!"
