I am in need of coconut bras, hawaiian skirts and shrunken heads for South Pacific. Does anyone know where I can get them, borrow them, etc?

We did SP within the last 3 years, and have a good number of items available. I'm not sure about shrunken heads, but I know there's a box of luau costumes in costumes storage. I'm reorganizing props, and I haven't seen any shrunken heads down there, but I'll take a look in the body parts bin.

You might try Craig's list. Some people have leftovers from Hawaiian themed parties. I got a nice coconut bra there. Lots of party shops have them, too.

I bought my Hawaiian shirts at garage sales over a 2-month period, but it's the wrong season for that now.

Go online ot Oriental Trader. They may have some accessories you can purchase in bulk cheaply.

I agree with others - Oriental Trading or NorCostCo
