Oh, wow. The HUGE theatrical costume company in my town is going out of business, which is sad. But they are pretty much giving away the store, which is intoxicating.
This morning I made my fourth trip. I can't stay away. I have three crinolines, three 18th century gowns, a perfectly authentic Carmelite nun's habit, God knows how many hats, petticoats, leotards, tights, and wigs -- most of them for $5 a pop, or less. And today I bought a stunning black 30s style dress (with satin wrap) from a production of Mame. It goes perfectly with the shoes, made in Spain and utterly unworn, that I got for a dollar.
My feeble old camera is fritzing, or I'd be spamming like mad.
They're also selling huge bolts of fabric, and I got stuff to make curtains for the new house.
I don't do costumes but once a year, on Halloween. But these are the guys I rent from, and when they're gone... gah! And a lot of this stuff is beautifully made. They're works of art! I must give them a loving home!
Okay, it's possible that this is odd behavior. But it's fun, dang it. And you should see that Mame dress. OMGso lovely.
