Happy Halloween!
Filed Under Eat and Drink
The Shop Tart must admit she isn’t a huge fan of Halloween. Maybe it’s because people often think she’s wearing a costume…when she’s just in her normal clothes. Hmph! One year, she went as Psychedelic Jackie O, wearing a vintage suit that was actually in her everyday rotation. Wonder where that suit is? It might just be back in style! One year, she went as a brunette. No one recognized her in her wig and false eyelashes. Come to think of it, that costume might be useful for every day…
Yesterday, the Shop Tart and her husband had a perfect-as-usual lunch at El Burrito. She had the chipotle chicken salad and he had two tacos. She skipped the Diet Coke as she is trying to save her skin by cutting down on caffeine and using food as a face mask. That little stretch of Harden Street was hopping. There was a fashion shoot going on at F-Stop Camera Shop for Stir Magazine. Editor Mark Pointer was spotted bustling down the street with a bag from Coplon’s. Hipwazee was packed with Halloween shoppers. They stock everything you need for Halloween, so skip the trek out to the overpriced, picked over big box costume store, m’kay? Want to be a political figure? They’ve got your mask, from Nixon to McCain.
If, like the Shop Tart, you are a fan of the wig, Hipwazee has plenty.
Even if you want a really wacky one.
If you are a fan of dressing sexy in your everyday life, Halloween is the perfect time to go all out, you wild thing. The Shop Tart, a bit too old to rock a sexy look, loves the tongue in cheek version of the sexy costume, Sponge Babe Square Pants!
If you want something more sexy and less weird, never fear, you’ll find plenty of options at Hipwazee. Mr. Shop Tart practically begged his wife to buy the Princess Leia costume. The bikini of course, not the long robe. If you are not a sexy dresser, you’ll also find plenty of fun, funky and fabulous options. Maybe you’d like to be the Big Bad Wolf dressed as Granny.
You can buy or rent and they have sizes from toddler to adult. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll be sure to score something amazing at Hipwazee - they still had plenty of fun Halloween finds!
