Where can I find outrageous fake mustachios in Chicago?

Something like this would be ideal, but I can't seem to find that anywhere which could get it to me by Labor Day.

I've already thought of Uncle Fun. Who else might have fabulous fake furry facial fuzz?

I'm in Seattle, but I noticed last week that the Walgreen's stores here have jumped the gun and now have Halloween costumes already...you might check there. TOO EARLY, Walgreen's, TOO EARLY!

Last year when visiting friends in Chicago we found a packet of various silly fake mustaches at Urban Outfitter on North Rush. Everyone wore a different one to a party. Since their novelty items seem to change frequently, I wonder if they still carry them.

Thank you designbot for pointing out the Boring Store. That place looks fantastic. I think I'll stop by there this weekend!

Best answer: Good luck and experiences with Broadway Costumes, and Darling Wife says that they have that model on the floor.

Reading this question has brought cheer to my day.

I was at walmart yesterday, they seem to have Halloween stuff out already, including a severed arm "decoration" that someone had relocated to the frozen foods section in a way calculated for maximum shock value.
