Halloween’s only 20 days away. If you don’t have a costume yet, you might want to start thinking about it–yesterday! We’ve still got a huge selection of costumes left, but they’re going to start disappearing soon…

We’ve still got a great selection of fangs (everything from long shredders to short, cute, “sexy bites”), both professional and affordable makeup (anything you can imagine really, to make almost anything you could ever imagine), as well as tons of costumes (period wear, sexy party costumes, masquerade dresses and masks, and even couples costumes and ideas).

And if you’re worried about whether or not we’ll have something for that totally obscure character from some film that only showed twice three decades ago, don’t be! Just bring in a picture of what you’re looking for, and we’ll do our best to match it as closely as possible.

Because of how busy we are right now, we probably won’t be adding much stock to our online store until Halloween passes–look for a great deal of new items to be added in November, however. For now, feel free to call us (at 864-271-4269) or email us at costumecurio@bellsouth.net anytime! Just ask us if you’re looking for a particular costume–any costume–and we’ll reply as quickly as we can with whatever information you need, from sizes to colors to prices.

We’re going to be closed this weekend, from Saturday, September 5th through Monday, September 7th, in observance of Labor Day–we apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Our regular hours will resume on Tuesday, September 8th.

But, in more exciting news, we’re still adding more items to the site. So far, we’ve got about 400 more costumes and accessories that are only in need of pictures–as soon as we’ve got those uploaded, we’ll add a feature where you can navigate by adult (men’s or women’s costumes) and child (boys’ or girls’ costumes).

We’d also like to thank our readers for the over-6000 views this past month! Remember to check back for new information–or to make it even easier, just click here to subscribe to our site for on-demand updates and new information.

As always, we’ll keep you updated–thanks again for reading!

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!

That’s right, the most elusive “Add to Cart” button has been resurrected from internet purgatory. You’ll find that everything is back to normal, and no matter what operating system or browser you’re using, it should work.
Also, look out for our Leg Avenue inventory to show up in the online store soon–we’ve just gotten the pictures in, and all we’ve got to do now is sort them out and upload them to our server. Essentially, most of our Leg Avenue costumes will be online within the next few days. Those will be followed by Disguise, Eddie’s, and Rasta Imposta shortly.
As always, thanks for reading!

That’s right…we’ve got our online store started, and all the makeup inventory you’ve been passively browsing through is now available for purchase. All you’ve got to do to buy something is click on the nifty “Add to Cart” button that has appeared under each product’s price on its information page–and it will show up in your shopping cart on the right side of the screen. To checkout, just click on “Checkout with PayPal”, but don’t worry; you don’t have to have a PayPal account (though it makes things a little bit quicker). PayPal accepts all major credit cards, and their site is completely secured. As soon as you pay through PayPal, we’ll receive notification of your order and ship it right away. We can only ship during our store hours, though–and you can see those just to the left side of this page.

If you’ve got any questions, don’t hesitate to send us an email or check out our FAQs page.

In other exciting news–we’ve got our Leg Avenue shipment in for Halloween! We’ve already organized and priced everything, and as soon as we get the stock photography from the manufacturer we’ll have those on the site for purchase as well. It’s actually several hundred costumes, not counting the several other manufacturers and lines of costumes that we also carry. Those will be on the site soon!

Thanks again for reading, and remember to bookmark us or subscribe to our site to keep make sure you don’t miss anything new!
