Events Halloween: Get On It

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 10:39 AM

Halloween is just a little over a month away! Imagine if this year you were actually on it for once instead of scrambling at the last minute making a damn robot out of cardboard and tinfoil again. The Oregon Children's Theatre is offering a pretty stellar opportunity to score a costume that's actually good (especially if you are aiming for an animal or elf kind of thing... not so much if you are among the many who use this holiday just as an excuse to dress like a ho, a strategy that frankly usually backfires in pretty ugly ways). But you could have a beautiful, professional-grade costume that also keeps you warm, and hey, that sort of things turns certain people on too. The sale goes down this Saturday at the former Made in Oregon spot in the Galleria (600 SW 10th) from 10 am-6 pm, but serious shoppers will want to fork over a $10 admission to Friday evening's preview event from 5-7:30 pm, where there will be a hosted bar, food, live music, and the first crack at all the best stuff. They've take the liberty of making a few preview videos of what you can expect. Me, I like the looks of those bird heads:

Hit the jump for two more, including one that showcases their stash of wigs...

A closing titles on the first video has a typo: The date of the sale is this Saturday, September 26th (not June). As video editor I take full responsibility for a dumb mistake. And, yes, the advance sale on Friday evening includes hosted beer and wine (as well as the $10 admission fee). Please think of it as a gallery opening reception, not a keg stand party! OLCC licensed servers will maintain decorum, and that alligator makes for a mean bouncer.
