Think high end Mardi Gras type stuff! I have found what I need on www.ostrichesonline.com but with express processing they can't guarantee I'll receive them by Thursday. HELP. Anyone have any ideas.

They are more readily available around town, as you know.   shh Citizen Username: Shh Post Number: 519 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 - 12:58 pm:        Where do transvestites shop? I'm sure there are places in the city. Maybe research theater or costumes. Have fun!   ashear Citizen Username: Ashear Post Number: 617 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 - 1:13 pm:        Try this place, its in the city. http://thefeatherplace.com/   Wilkanoid Citizen Username: Cseleosida Post Number: 42 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 - 1:33 pm:        Not to sound ludicrous, but they sell ostritch feathers at pet stores for cat toys. I saw some at NJ Pets in East Hanover, and they looked ok.   Wilkanoid Citizen Username: Cseleosida Post Number: 43 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 - 1:35 pm:        Ooops ... it just occurred to me that I was talking about peacock feathers. Sorry.   algebra2 Citizen Username: Algebra2 Post Number: 904 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 - 1:48 pm:        Thanks everyone! I placed the order on the internet and am going to call around some places in the city. My boss-lady wants 3 fans for some party and 12 feathers. Anyway, I just spent close to $600 bucks buying the particular fans and feathers she requested, I'll be scrambling around buying whatever I can find if they don't arrive ontime. Thanks again!   Elizabeth Citizen Username: Elizabeth Post Number: 150 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 - 2:05 pm:        Is your boss-lady hiring? Your job sounds like fun and I need work . . .   Elizabeth Citizen Username: Elizabeth Post Number: 151 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 - 2:07 pm:        Also--I don't know where you are right now, but the Rag Shop has a feathers selection . . .   Dave Ross Supporter Username: Dave Post Number: 4616 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 - 4:43 pm:        Sports/Fishing stores may sell them as fly-tying material, like Ray's on Rt 22w.

There's a shop across the street from it and closer to the corner that has many feathery articles, hair ornaments, boas in MANY sizes, and a lot more. There was a sidewalk sale and you had to walk under the stuff to get past the store.
