    Claire's accessories have cat ear sets which consist of black and silver ears, black tail and a bow for around your neck. Think it was about 10e I can't remember what I paid. You could also try the party shop on stephens green. Looking for a whip myself...

    I need a tight black boob tube, got my costume yesterday but it's too low cut for me. I need it tight because the costume is tight fitting.

    Penneys don't seem to have them, I guess it isn't the season.

    Open to any alternatives, although I should say the costume is halter neck so don't want anything with a very visable back.

    Depends if youre a guy or a girl, but theres a comic book store (forbidden planet I think its called) just on the quays, say turn left at oconnel bridge, and go towards hapenny bridge if youre coming from the southside, theyll have stuff.


    And to the person that wanted a smoking jacket, theres a shop in georges street arcade that does silky kimonos and dressing gowns, they might have one that has a suitable pattern

    Did you try pennys? You might get something tight in the underware section either.

    Saw set in 2 euro store in the kid's toy section, fake glasses with big fake nose and eyebrows stuck on them, but they should be easy enough to take off.

    No, somewhere in Cork, spent half the day trekking around getting hallowe'en stuff for about 10 people, think it was the generic 2E store you see in most cities though. Joke shops should have them too, thought probably little more expensive.

    Check army surplus shops for the dogs tags/ bullets. If you're in Dublin look on Capel St. They also have them in Temple Bar in the hippie shops :)

    Ann Summers had slutty army girl costumes last year. Might still have some.

    Good luck!:)

    www.ebay.co.uk

    All over it. Search for 'clear glasses', 'indie glasses' etc.

    Im thinking of going as a Runaway Bride (get to wear nice comfy runners) but dont know what to do about the wedding dress. Would I get one on the cheap in a Charity Shop (like €30-40)? or am I kidding myself?

    I have dressed up as Pippi Longstocking before

    and a spider!

    I still have the leg appendages if anyone wants to borrow them for a last minute idea (im in Limerick) :pac:
