Well, the show is winding down and tomorrow will be the end of our 2011 Halloween Show
I wanted to share some of the highs and lows of the show.....
On the Positive side we had tons of great costumes. Kyle,from Midnight Studios, went all out with some wild full body Lycan costumes, as well as many other cool costumes and animations. *The Boom Stick is everywhere! Some very cheap prices were out there, if you shopped around.
I felt the regular vendors outdid themselves with great new products and were able to keep the prices down (anyone who knows me, knows that I'm very cheap when it comes to spending. I usually do a lot of trading but I was pleased with the prices). For those who were at the show, I think three words come to mind Latex Body Paint.*
Now,unfortunately, for the BAD. *Shame on the company who totally ripped off Kevin, from Gore Galore's, product line. From his Stalker Costumes to *vertabra backed shirts, to just about everything else he carries, these guys should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves and their thinly disguised ripoffs! *I hope the industry sticks together and boycotts this company. Kevin had some of the *best looking costumes,as well as the only actor/animation at the show. He deserves credit for originality.
And, finally, the Ugly. This year, we stayed at the Mayfair Hotel and had the pleasure of housekeeping stealing my leather custom embroidered $300.00 jacket made by Sunshine Tees. This jacket was a birthday present and very special to me, it bears our unique artwork. We were sure it was stolen the day it went missing. We bitched up a storm until it finally showed up the next day, the housekeeping staff had found it. *The one big problem is we NEVER used housekeeping. We maintained our own room. They came in after I told them IN PERSON that we were all set and signed off that we didn't need them. It was only after we kicked up a fuss that it was "found". Not a pleasant experience, but happy that the jacket is back where it belongs.
I hope everyone has a great show as well as a safe trip home.
