On a related note, those of you getting ready for RetroFest should definitely check out our shop! Our online store contains mostly sale costume and accessories, but our physical location has a fantastic selection of vintage and vintage-styled rental outfits. We carry everything from bell-bottoms and polyester pants to daishikis, pimp suits, leisure suits, and some great one-of-a-kind dresses. That’s right, our rentals are all unique–you won’t see someone at a party with the same outfit as you.

Definitely check out our selection online, though: we’ve got some retro costumes here, as well some choices of men’s platforms and women’s go-go boots.

Aside from that, we’ve also got a huge selection of Retro/hippie sunglasses and shades–big, small, blue, clear, green, gold, sparkle; all sorts–and several different wigs that are just perfect for hippie costumes. We’ve got afros, long hippie wigs, bobs, and gogo-dancer wigs. Come by the store and try some on!

This should be the last post for today, but it’s worth posting…when you search, the results now automatically sort themselves into 16 products per page, in a 4×4 grid. Not only do they do that, but they’ve also got thumbnails displaying preview images of the products (with the exception of the makeup items that don’t have a picture yet). If you want to see more products, just look at the bottom of the page and click First, Previous, Next, or Last to see the respective pages. This new organization will make it much easier for everyone to see what we’ve actually got in stock.

For a sample, click here to see how we’ve redesigned it–now you can browse images and costumes, like the hippie costumes above or the pirate costumes here–or even just click on their respective pictures!

This will help you if you don’t know what you want to be for Halloween or other parties–just type in “nurse” or “pirate” or whatever you have in mind, like “sexy,” for instance, and we’ll show you what we’ve got that’ll work. Now you can just browse through pictures and see if anything sticks out at you.

Naturally, all of this is being done to make everything easier and more intuitive for you. We’ll keep you updated on everything else going on around the shop and the site–thanks again for reading, and remember, if you’d like to subscribe (and automatically receive updates on our store) go here or just click on “Entries RSS” just below “Subscribe” (to the top right of this page). That’ll keep you in the loop as to when new shipments come in, when we add new inventory, and when the site has new features!
