Power, unfortunately, lacks...
...excellent choice for the budget shopper, Dorothy’s selection of costumes is eclectic and amusing. Besides boasting a wide stock of “sexy costumes” (nurse, Little Bo Beep, Dorothy) and many movie outfits (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings), Dorothy’s also offers a large array of accessories. Fangs, wigs, boas and hats are but a small sampling of the offerings that make Dorothy’s an essential stop for costume refinement. And that chinchilla tucked into a corner of your room need not miss out—Dorothy?...
