Last year, my friend Tracy and I found affordable last-minute Halloween costumes at the Los Feliz specialty store, Ozzie Dots. She was the randy pirate, and I was the racy French maid. The costumes, created by a company called Charades, were a perfect fit.

Here’s how it works: the costumes come bagged as kits. My Frenchie outfit came with a polyester dress, neck-tie choker, head piece, and a flirty white apron. Tracy’s was replete with a big hat, garter and dress. My costume cost $15.00– a small price to pay considering I was buying the costume on Halloween.

Ozzie Dots generally has a large selection of sexy bagged costumes. You know the ones: nurse, kitty, witch, schoolgirl, etc. But if you aren’t so into the sexy thing, Ozzie Dots carries just about everything else you can think of, so there’s room for creativity.

You can expect long lines at Ozzie Dots the week before Halloween. Maybe you’ll see us there…
