The Costume Craziness that is Halloween has come to an end along with our fabulous Costume Countdown. It got supremely hectic down at Scavenge in those last few days. The staff was in costume, half of our customers were in costume, and something happened for the first time ever.

How it Ended
November 2nd, 2009Life's Too Short to Wear Boring Underwear
August 3rd, 2009My favorite day of observance is fast approaching. August 5, 2009 is National Underwear Day - the day when we honor our undies. Where would be without them?? Think about it for a second  - our days would be all about chafing, poking, grabbing, and just getting rubbed wrong.
This is me and my friend, Dolores, celebrating National Underwear Day in 2008.
Ah, but our undies can do so much more than just give that layer of  protection or separation from our pants, shorts, and skirts. They can bring fun, happiness, inspiration, empowerment and sexiness into our lives. Yes, your underwear can do all that – - as long as you aren’t settling for boring, unimaginative, white or tan undergarments. How dull those are and a what a complete waste.
Nothing but fun going on here.
You may have to dress in a certain, respectable way for work or school, but no one can tell you which undies to wear. Having something fun or sexy or empowering going on under your clothes can really change your life. Try it and see.
So take August 5th and celebrate your underwear day. Here are the top 5 ways to properly observe this wonderful day:
- For the completely brave, daring and uninhibited folks out there – do as the New York models, and wear only your undies today.
- For the slightly less brave, wear your undies over your clothes instead of under.
- This one everyone can do: purposefully wear your funnest, most playful, sexiest pair of undies in the regular way.
- Go buy a new pair of undies for yourself and get rid of that old tattered pair you keep wearing. Buy just one, or one of each type: fun, inspiring, and sexy.
- Buy underwear for your friends, family, or bedroom partner. Here’s a helpful bit of info I read on Reuters, most men prefer briefs over boxer and most women prefer bikini briefs.
Freshpair, the ones who started National Underwear Day 7 years ago, are taking the celebration online and offering all sorts of discounts, sales, and giveaways of underwear for the month of August .Other companies are doing this well, so take advantage.
New Pricing Program Launched at Scavenge!
March 23rd, 2009If you’re looking to outfit an entire group in the same costume, and don’t want to pay retail prices, check this out. Scavenge has just launched a new line of Wholesale Costumes. Yes, these are costumes you will normally pay upwards of $50 for individually and yet to reward these groups (which are often school groups and non-profit organizations), we are now offering amazing deals. The catch? Yes, there is always a catch. You will need to buy 6 identical costumes in the same size.
Take a look at a few of the awesome deals on some of the most popular items we carry!
This is a brand new program launched by Scavenge to really help primarily schools (whose budgets have been drastically cut) and non-profit groups – but we do not limit it there. Anyone wishing to purchase these costumes in these quantities can take advantage of the fantastic pricing for the life of the program.  The new Wholesale and Bulk pricing for Costumes program will be here as long as it is useful for our customers.
Ordering is simple, just find the Wholesale Costume offering you like and select the size.  Put a quantity of one in the box to get a package of 6 costumes  and complete your checkout – it’s that simple. What are you waiting for?

Sexy Clubwear and Stilettos for your Spring Cruise
March 15th, 2009Ok, now that you have chosen your swimwear it is time to consider your clubwear and the pumps and high heels to match. For late nite Disco Fun, I would recommend the staple sexy black mini dress paired with some awe inspiring leg enhancing high heels. If the color red is your thing a slinky red mini dress will do the trick just right. Oh and how about a pair of rhinestone sandals for that extra rich flair.

- Silver Mini Dress
  If you are an exhibitionist or they have a pole dancing option I like a metallic silver mini dress for this playtime. Whatever your level of comfort dress to show off your assets.
This Halloween Costume Store is Doing Its Part
February 19th, 2009Did you hear what NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, did?? He voluntarily cut his pay for 2008 and he refused a raise for 2009? That means he gave up over $2 million to do his part to get us all through these tough times. He wasn’t told to do it, he just believed it to be the right thing to do and acted.
This is exactly the attitude we all need to take on during these hard economic times. Every employee, every business owner, every politician, every high ranking CEO. Think about it. If we all believed as Mr. Goodell does, that it’s going to take a voluntary collective sacrifice, and we all lowered our pay or our prices, it would make a difference.
If you’re an employee, how about offering to take a temporary pay cut? Sounds crazy, I know. But wouldn’t it be better than losing your job altogether, or causing someone else to lose theirs? Refuse that pay raise and take a pay cut instead. I’m disgusted by those politicians accepting raises, those athletes fighting for better paying contracts. It’s not right.
If you’re a landlord, how about lowering the rent you charge? Credit card companies and mortgage companies, lower the monthly payments or put those interest rates on hold. Health providers, lower your rates. Insurance companies, lower your premiums. These are drastic measures, but I think they are needed and more like them.
And in that same spirit, Scavenge will be doing its part. We’ll be offering 25% off any regularly priced item on the website. That means you can save 25% on costumes, wigs, accessories, and even lingerie. This offer isn’t good for items already on sale. We’ve already slashed those prices.
Check out the website, and enter coupon code BAILOUT when you check out. That’s all it takes. No big catch or loophole. All retail stores could find some way to cut their prices at least a little bit. Yes, it means less profit and tightening the belt for our employees as well. But we believe, we all have to do something.
We can all do our part. If we all do it, if we make a collective sacrifice, it’s going to get us all through this economic shit storm better and faster.
