"5"^^ . "Costume party in your near future? Then, you must go and talk to Bob! I am attending a party where the costume code is \"carnie chic.\" I didn't even know where to begin, and my husband kept telling me, \"Carnies are smelly and poorly dressed.\" This was not helpful. \n\nWe stopped by Star Costume. I went in with a plan to just do some cross between Rocky Horror and Absinthe. They had adorable mini top hats for around $50, but I didn't think those would travel well. Next, I started looking at tutus. Then, I decided to ask for advice and Bob came to the rescue.\n\nHe spent a good five minutes brainstorming a vision of carnie chic greatness, and the coolest part, it didn't involve buying a single thing from Star Costume! He sent me to a thrift store with a mental list of what to look for. That's a true passion for costumes done right!\n\nThe store is huge, all your costume dreams come true, but the selection wouldn't mean as much without the helpful, sincere guidance of someone like Bob! I will definitely be stopping by here whenever I need costume guidance."^^ . "14"^^ . "7"^^ . . "4"^^ . "2011-06-25T00:00:00"^^ . . .
