Creepy costume costs may spook parents
Mothers and fathers are begged and beseeched to splurge large sums of money kitting out the little darlings in the most popular costumes of the day. Angela Kerrigan, from Blackrock, Co Dublin, is no exception. “They’ll all have to get a costume. I’ll probably spend €50 per child,” Ms Kerrigan said as she browsed her way around Wigwam, in the St Stephen’s Green shopping centre, in search of outfits for her four children, aged from eight to 15.
The shop, run by two ladies from the Philippines, is frequented by well-known glitterati such as Miss World Rosanna Davison and entertainer Twink.
