Seeking wigs and costumes

Hi everyone,
am just wondering if anyone can help point me in the right direction for some help with finding character wigs and costumes for hire at a reasonable price. Members of the Goldfields Repertory Club here in Kalgoorlie are involved in a charity ball next month to support the Ronald McDonald House at Princess Margaret Hospital. The theme is the "Oscars" and several of us will be appearing as movie stars. We are specifically seeking wigs and costumes for Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Nicole Kidman (Moulin Rouge costume) and if at all possible - the Shrek mask. (A good one). Can anyone suggest where I can try? It is terribly tricky living 600kms away from the big smoke.. so if you have any wonderful and useful suggestions I would be thrilled! Once we know where to try, we can organise someone to pop on down and check it all out. Any other ideas, advice (nice ones of course!!!!) would be appreciated also. Feel free to email me direct .. or post on this message board as I check it each day after work!
Thanking you in avid anticipation!!!!!!!

RE: Seeking wigs and costumes

Hey there,

Just going through the message board and saw your question. My boss at work owns a wig shop and is trying to get rid of quite a few wigs at reasonable prices.

His email at work is Allan.Ball@bankwest.com.au.

I am sure he will be able to help you.

Kristy :-)
