Bliss Avenue Spills into Masquerade

With the recent closing of the Bliss Avenue lingerie store in Philadelphia, a slew of lingerie, mini hats, and new mannequins have arrived here at Masquerade. Gabby and Oriana have been working hard all day today, wrangling all of the underwear and new goods, and getting them prepared, stored, and finally up for sale.

And there's been a lot arriving!

Spring has Sprung at the Costume Shop!

Spring has sprung here in New York City.

And that means incoming warm weather :) seasonal allergies :( and upcoming holidays and themed events!

It also means that we've been doing some spring cleaning here at Masquerade NYC. The ladies have done a fine job revamping the floor layout and decorating the ceiling with creepy hanging things (like wraiths, skeletons, and a giant golden Buddha).



Stella's been stocking some more funky sunglasses and party supplies, not to mention sombreros for Cinco de Mayo and Graduation caps.

But back to the store decor for a moment, because there is this thing sitting right in front of me. The new gargoyle...

...he's a recent addition to the store "staff" for this year. The gargoyle keeps an eye on the front of the store, perched on his pedestal with rubber rats hanging out on his knees (don't ask). He's got a huge pair of wings that spread out and make an impressive display in the center of the store.

In addition to the snazzier interior decor, the ladies have also been arranging the window display for the season:



Gabby got the western window (and herself) fitted out to represent Independence Day, the Mermaid Parade, the Pride Parade, Fleet Week, and Cinco de Mayo.

Bring on the spring time, bring on the summer, bring on the warm weather and the celebrations to come for the season!
