i never knew costumes stores exist during non-halloweent times. then mr. google found me this great little store well hidden (literally) in mountain view by moffitt field. at first i didn't expect much from a seemingly mom-and-pop store, but much to my amazement, wow. i mean, wow. yes, they are a bit choatic in there, but the amount of selction beats your regular good ol' spirit or party city hundreds of thousands times. i just needed like a regular buglar (or zorro-like) mask and thought it would be easy. I ended up trying all the masks and bought a mardi gras beautiful mask. the lady in there helped me with lots of suggestions and patience. next time when i have to make another dino costume for my son, i will definitely just shell out the dough and get from them.

Do NOT order anything from these people -- on-line or otherwise! They tell you it's in stock, take your money, and then tell you it's actually shipped! They even provided shipping info! Then -- surprise -- a week later... it's no longer ...
