Disguises is a great costume shop on Colfax at Kipling and is worth the drive out to Lakewood. I interviewed the owner of the store and followed her to go to Mt. St Vincent's Home for Children in Denver when she donated $5000 worth of costumes to the kids. We only got to meet three of little boys who were excited to model their new Spiderman costumes for us. I couldn't take any pictures of the kids before they got their costumes on, but after they donned their new prizes, the game was on. They were so happy with such a simple gift.
Disguises is kind of a gimme shoot because of all the visual overload. Body parts, wigs, costumes, jewelry, hats, make-up and everything someone could possible need for that costume genre. The employees are super-nice and will help you make choices while the canned spooky music will serenade you into the mood for spook.
Seamstresses will custom make costumes and their creative license is pretty wild. The resident black cats remain cloistered in the sewing room until after the Halloween hullabaloo is over. Make-up artists will help patrons learn how to apply make-up, scars and scabs, prosthesis, eyelashes with butterflies on them and all sorts of special effects.
The wig-wall is one of the coolest things ever.
If you want to take a walk on the wild side of your dark side, go to Disguises. Now.
