. No. 1 Costume Costume P/L .

Amazing day today but pretty sleepy half-way through the rest of the day. Woke up and breakfast then cleared the house before going out. I called the shop just to make sure that its open, since its Saturday. Its a coincidence that my dad isn't working today.
My dad keep insisting if she would want to follow too. In my heart I already knew that she hated shop that sells real costume shops due to the wigs, make up, masks and all sorts. So, I thought onced she woke up she don't come along but don't know what made her mind wants to follow too. I was happy at least she gets to see me in nice outfit or pretender as another character in dressing and so on.... I knew she would also love to see things that are unique , people made over there.
I was upset too when she wants to follow because her getting ready that takes up the time, so it kinds of made me frustrating but I can't complain much otherwise she will nag. The reason I take time particularly was because I don't go there often so only Saturday is my day of venturing out and I wanted so badly to go there and spent my own sweet time so the minute she said that there is still time to shop I was angry because obviously the shop is big to look around and its not easy to pick the outfit you really want, so its better to get there early.
In the end, got 2 hours to shop till 5pm but I didn't made it till 5pm due to my mum wants to continue her sleep so only 1 hour of shopping. I was so mesmerized with all the costumes and stuff that they offered, the place was magnificient, huge and also the Batman mobile was just outside the back door of the building. It wasn't very nicely done or similar to the real show. Hehe...
I was about to get a headache due to the amount of stuff showcased everywhere. I tried a few masks and hats, but not clothes, because no point, all was for rental only, HATE that!!!
From superhero to ancient clothes to fairy tales to mascots of cartoon characters to fruits and halloween. My eyes caught upon the snake headband from Egytian times, only 2 are the nicest ones & each cost $49.90 so I passed, before deciding to go home, I saw this one particular mask that is one of a kind and it was displayed on the glass cupboard shelves, silver in colour, black linings with patterns and shiny sparkling. The curve for the mask was nicely formed and behind was covered in black, it was also very light weight.
So I tried it on my face and to my amazed, the measurements of the nicely formed mask suit my face perfectly, from there I know that this was exactly the mask that I have been wanting for, my dad agreed too. I could wear this mask for any dress in masquerade parties.
But...but...but....when I went to ask the price at the cashier, there wasn't any price tag, I had a feeling it was exclusive meant for rental only, but the salesperson said its only for rental. I was heartbroken, I would pay any price to get that mask, my heart was sulking in grief. So in the end, I didn't buy anything. I felt like I can make the clothes much more better or mascots cause some are really worn out.
