My favorite is "The Cupcake". You just need to purchase $210 worth of layered petticoats, and and additional $81 worth of shoes, shoe laces, and sash, and you'll look like Edna Turnblad at the Beauty Salon! Cute. All for less than $300!
If you have the time and inclination, I dare you to take a look at some of these atrocities. Anyone with half a brain could see that all this really means is that you can make a costume out of any old crap. Luckily for American Apparel, I suspect many of their customers have less than the requisite half brain.
Mostly I agree...except that I happened to stop in there on Saturday and found a cotton catsuit in various colors - the very thing my friend Amy had been search for to complete her halloween costume. Sadly, I called her and she had just purchased one online for $90 - while the one at American Apparel was $32.99.
ReplyDeleteAlso - you are right. I went to the link, and those are the dumbest non-costumes I've ever seen. My personal favorite is this: http://store.americanapparel.net/costume.html?cmid=51&oid=1&lid=1
ReplyDeleteI like the mummy dog http://store.americanapparel.net/costume.html?cmid=28&oid=1&lid=1. I made Charlie a similar ghost costume from a torn tee shirt your dad was throwing away.
ReplyDeleteSlumber Party is priceless...in my day we wore pajamas and a facial mask and rollers if we wanted to have that costume! Cost: $0.00
ReplyDeleteI saw the Mummy puppy, too. Who could look at that a not think they could do it with some old rags?
