In Case You’re Interested in the How of Things
While most parents dash out to a drugstore to fulfill a narrow expectation of what is acceptable as Halloween apparel for their children, we design, craft and construct complex costumes which we seal our son into like a mummy in a sarcophagus whether he likes it or not.
