No, I don’t know what snog the frog means. If I had to guess I’d say it references kissing the toad that turns into a prince. Because who doesn’t want a prince? I mean, you’d be pretty disappointed if you got Prince Harry, because so many reasons. Or it could reference the fad of toad-licking, which was popular for a short period of time in an episode of Family Guy that starred way too much Meg. The effect of stepping into this emporium of wonder and delight is like a good toad lick such is the myriad and dizzying array of costumes the likes of which you can scarcely imagine exist. Gorilla suits with caged Kermit the frogs inside, latex Indiana Jones masks, Kronos from The Simpsons. They’re super helpful and have just a metric @$$-ton of fun stuff, go and try. I got stuck in a sea monster costume here and had to be cut out of it. True story. But that led me to King Neptune, which I rocked at Unilocal’s 10th Birthday Maritime Mixer. I looked a little girly without the beard though.

The little shop up a back alley in lower Surry Hills is a quaint hope to those random dress up costume party needs. If you’re in the area, and want to waste some time and take some funny photo’s, hop in there and try on heaps of things! Sure to make a day of it! I went to get a Mexican costume, and although I didn’t buy/rent it, as it was a bit out of my price range, I was very impressed by the customer service. The ladies there were incredibly helpful when it came to picking something for a party, and weren’t pushy at all when it came to the sale. The level of costume even included some rustic leather boots, which were amazing on their own, but unfortunately I couldn’t commit myself to spent up to $ 80 for 1 night’s rental. They seem to be very strict on the return conditions, and condition of the clothes, so have a chat, and don’t rush the paperwork if you’re unsure. It is about $ 15 per extra day you hire, so check when they’re open, and ask if they have a pick up service in your area.
