Simpson
ensembles
sell fast for
Halloween
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Trick or treat? 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
