While she and her daughter perused the stuff in front, apparently the boys (aged 17 and 13) headed straight for the back corner where the naughty stuff is displayed, took a picture of one of them wearing the fake boobs, and promptly posted it on Facebook! She started wondering where they were and why they were so quiet, and found them but the damage was done. Needless to say, somebody's facebook privileges have been revoked indefinitely! BTW, the Halloween Store in Ann Arbor, MI is also in an old Circuit City. My co-worker told me she went to one of those with her daughter and sons.

FYI, they sold books. I hope your costume involves a notebook. We have one that replaced a store called “Giant Book Sale”. FYI, they sold books.

I went in and was just disgusted by the female outfits. And the childrens costumes were no better...the section for girls costumes was called "tainted innocence" and it was all mini skirts and tights and all around nastiness. Ugh. I quickly decided to make my own. Rainbow Brite, here I come! Ours is in an old Office Depot. I went in and was just disgusted by the female outfits.

Why do all the Halloween costumes for women have to be so revealing? Sexy female cop, sexy nurse, sexy angel/devil, etc. I may have to break down and come up with my own costume.

I was initially hired as seasonal help, and they liked me enough that I never left! This meant that I got to spend a few more Halloweens with them, which involved picking out one of the costumes that was for sale and parading around all day in it every Sunday. My favorite was the Bar Maiden outfit, under which I quickly discovered a need to wear jeans, since my bosses still made me, like, climb ladders. Looking back, after several unabashedly sexist managers at subsequent jobs, I think I actually appreciate the equality. Retroactively.

I know my butt is cute, but we've not been introduced. One of these days I'll have to mention to these people the fact that they're <i>not</i> going to get to the head of the line faster by breathing down my neck. Who me? Cranky? Naaaah...

I couldn't believe how many walls of the sexy/slutty costumes there were! The only outfit in the store I could see myself wearing and liking was the "Roman Goddess" costume, a floor-length dress, but it cost $50 without accessories! Since then I've decided to be a crossword puzzle for Halloween. I'm going to make a skirt and top out of crossword puzzle print fabric, and wear a pencil and magnifying glass on a necklace :-) Our Halloween store is in the old Borders store.
