Jokers’ Masquerade

Halloween comes but once a year, and when it does, it brings the hassle of finding a bloody costume.
Not any more! I have built up quite a list of Leeds shops in which to hunt for fancy dress bargains, but the one thing I couldn’t get my hands on that I was going to have to make out of cardboard, sticky backed plastic and a mop handle was a scythe. And then lo’, I stumbled upon Jokers’ Masquerade, and my prayers were answered. £10.99 (plus P+P) got me a super massive scythe that Death himself would be green with envy over. Apart from it’s plastic so not up to much in the way of soul-​reaping. But still. I also got a Cher wig (for my ‘sexy vampiress’ costume) for just under £20. Ordered at half ten on Saturday night, arrived at 9am on Tuesday morning. In a postal strike. Amazing.
