| - Savers is *awesome* for costumes! I popped in needing a Tour de Fat costume. In my heart I knew Savers would rock. They have rows and rows of Halloween costumes and accessories. Same stuff you might find in a Party City for less.
Walking in I was greeted by Craig, "Hi! I'm the Costume Consultant. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help."
Mind you, Craig is a really, really tall beefy guy. So the first time he spoke I was thinking, "Em...W-h-a-t does this man want?" Then I saw the name badge and caught on. Craig is the bomb. I looooorved my "Dark Angel" outfit. + I got some compliments out of it.
It's quite nice to walk up and down the available outfits, ordered by size, and plop them into your cart. There's no writing down of numbers after squinting at a picture in a store, only to learn they are out of stock. Savers allows you to try on six items at a time.
Alas, I just wasn't feeling it with any of the traditional costumes. A Minnie Mouse polka dot retro thing with cute black gloves was super cute tho. I had two main criteria: 1) can't be too hot 2) should have some cleavage. (What? I'm single. Minnie had my collar bones covered.)
Hearing Craig's deep voice boom over the loudspeaker, "Hi! This is Craig! Allow me to create a unique costume for you." changed my mind. I asked some other gals for leads on black halter tops. They initially suggested the sleeveless aisle. When i added, "I'm looking for something inappropriate" they pointed me to lingerie. (I like they way the employees here think.)
If anyone is looking for Frederick's of Hollywood merchandise they've got a current stash. (Oof. I'll never look at myself the same again.) Given that I'd be riding my bike to the light rail I needed more coverage. Found an awesome dress with beads. Craig generously allowed me to try on my feather wings. (Shh!) And he suggested the type of accessories to glam the whole thing up with.
Craig is the kind of guy you'd want as a bouncer. Sure, he's stocky. But I witnessed him helping tiny humans shop for Superman get-ups. These kids also think Craig walks on water. I'd go there if you need some Halloween fun!
