Tucked away in a Surry Hills sidestreet is the little costume treasure chest known as Snog the Frog. A local fixture since the noughties, the shop was taken over by manager Melanie Adam in 2017. The Snoggers have dressed thousands of Sydneysiders and even mail rental costumes interstate.
Are you after the perfect Freddy Mercury-style diamond jumpsuit? Or a spooky couples' costume that mashes up Clueless with Ronald McDonald and the Hamburglar? Want to emulate an 18th century French duke? Snog's costume hire range has you covered. Or, if you just need a wild wig and some makeup or a mask to accessorise your own creation, they've got you covered there too.
Whether it's Halloween, Mardi Gras, Book Week or Purim, you can feel good about hiring something that will be cleaned, cared for and re-used. They also do custom-made commissions and makeup for those out to impress. But if that’s not your style they have an extensive selection of retail fancy dress and accessories to buy in-store and online.
The strength of Snog the Frog is that it doesn’t take itself too seriously and that’s the attitude to take when you go in there. The staff are really friendly and helpful so they can turn you into pretty much whoever you want to be in seconds.
