Confessions of a Costume Shop-aholic.
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009Michael Bulger is CTG’s Marketing Coordinator.
In preparation for our April 1st Spamalot On-Sale event (tastefully titled “SPAMAPALOOZA”) I had the extreme pleasure of spending the morning sifting through Old English garb in our incredible costume warehouse.
I must be honest, I didn’t quite know what to expect when I pulled up… but what I found was a Mecca of clothing. A shopaholics dream! Rows upon rows of shirts, coats, pants and (my favorite) hats! From every era, from every economic class, from every style… it was truly stunning.
I could have easily spent four days in there, sorting through clothes and trying things on… but I had to limit myself to a mere four hours. I was able to come out with a ton of costumes for SPAMAPALOOZA, including outfits for knights in shining armor, monks’ robes, peasant clothes and even a few Maid Marian-esque dresses.
Below are a few pictures I snapped on my cell phone… I hope you enjoy! Stay tuned for more info on SPAMAPALOOZA… including how you can get in on the fun!
PS: A very special thanks to Candice Cain, Costume Director here at CTG for all of her help with this project!!
