A blood-spat tered football jersey, a plas tic toy knife and a rubbery O. J. Simpson mask are scar ing up business for Hal loween retailers. “We’re almost sold out of the original shipment,” said Victor Pahl at the Ragztop- Vintage store in Fullerton, where the whole ensemble costs $50. The store has already sold about 20 masks and has received as many as a dozen calls a day from peo ple wanting to dress up as Simpson or his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. A blonde wig and some imagination made up a Nicole B. Simpson costume, at least for one customer, Pahl said. The woman put a wig together with a dress from the store’s vintage clothing collection. “There is a tragedy to this,” Pahl conceded, adding that the costumes were tongue-in-cheek. “Maybe you’ve got to laugh at tragedy,” he said. He said the media frenzy surrounding the Simpson tri al has made the question of tastefulness moot. Other Southern California costume shops are also capi talizing on the slayings, sell ing accessories, including Afro wigs and black-and- white prison shirts with No. 32 written on them, the same number Simpson wore on his football jersey. “We satisfy the public’s demand, that’s all,’’ said employee Morgan Paris at Gilbert of Hollywood Cos tumes. "They had Jim and Tammy Bakker (costumes) a few years ago. ... The more macabre the sense of humor for Halloween, the more popular.” The O. J. costume at Gilbert of Hollywood cos tumes rents for $75 to $100. Some costume shop own ers, however, said they wouldn’t sell Simpson cos tumes no matter how big the demand. Simpson is charged with murder in the June 12 deaths of Ms. Simpson, 35, and her friend Ronald Gold man, 25, who were slashed in front of her Brentwood condominium. He has plead ed innocent to the slayings. “I don’t think anybody else should capitalize on his hardship, whether he’s guilty or innocent,’’ said Candy Krueger, manager of Would You Believe costume shop in South Pasadena. “It was a tragedy; his wife was scionable to make a profit off Stick By Alvaro riMTA IF 1 CONCENTRATE KEALLN HARP ILL CET A WALK To DAT -o- O THESES CCXWA BE A WALK TOW.
