Editorial Review for Hollywood Costumers – by Nancy Levenson
In Short
Behind this windowless storefront on lower Hawthorne are thousands of costumes, including ready-made rentals ranging from bunny suits to zoot suits and everything in between. The back room has clothes for the entire cast of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and plenty of other themes. Creative types can piece together one-of-a-kind getups from the warehouse of accessories: a full spectrum of wigs, freaky rubberized masks, makeup, body paint, fake eyelashes and facial hair--all available for purchase.

(2/29/2008) CitySearch says Hollywood Costumers is open open until 4:00pm on Fridays, the Hollywood Costumers website says they're open until 5:00pm on Fridays, the actual business place says they're open until 3:30pm on Fridays. When is this place open?! I tried calling them, but just got a voice mail that didn't even indicate I had reached Hollywood Costumers.
Pros: None
Cons: Hours of operation unknown

I went in to Hollywood Costumes just before Halloween to get a bowler hat for my husband who wanted to go to a party as Alex from "A Clockwork Orange." This is a pretty common item, and I had seen them around town at other places for about $5 but failed to pick one up. When I asked them for a bowler hat, they said they only had one choice, and it was $25. I said, "I don't need something so nice, it's just for one night. I was looking for a $5 hat." They looked at me with a sneer and said, "We don't have any of THOSE." As I walked out, they actually burst into laughter. I went to Lippman and got EXACTLY what I wanted. Hollywood Costumes is run by RUDE people. They have no clue as to the reality of their business, and are completely out of touch with the general public. I have also gone in there to buy professional stage make-up for productions I've been in, but the staff is untrained in how the products work. Finally, there should be a city ordinance against those hideously tacky paintings on their windows....although, I realize that is just a matter of taste.
