How bold do you feel this Halloween? This season you’ll find a ton of sexy costumes for adult women to choose from cats to bunnies to the standard princess. But, with the popularity of the Avatar movie by James Cameron booming, none are going to be more desired than the Neytiri Halloween costumes.

Blue all over

Now, you might not be timid and the idea of using paints to make your body blue all over is an option (be careful not to break any laws) but most girls are not willing to go this far.

The blue outfit

With the great selection of Neytiri Halloween costumes, your worries are over. You can have that sexy look of Neytiri by wearing a skin tight costume and putting body paint only on your face for effect. A bit less risque but the heads will turn when this exciting female shows up at the party.

What is this madness about dressing up as someone else on Halloween? Well, it is the one time of year when inhibitions don’t count for much and you can even be a pirate just by choosing the right outfit and hat. For the past 10 years, pirate Halloween costumes have reigned and show no real signs of slowing. Let’s take a look at a couple of ideas.

The pirate costume – How authentic do you want to be?

If you want to dress up as a pirate, fine. Just put in some effort. That said, if you do want to dress up, make sure that you do not go overboard either. One symptom you might be over-committing to your costume is if you start growing out your facial hair months ahead to get an authentic-looking goatee, complete with beads. That is a little much.

Jack Sparrow – a cool pirate costume for Halloween

There are two very popular pirates today, and they are both fictional. Those under eight probably know who Captain Feathersword is from the popular kid’s show The Wiggles.

Those over that age probably know more about Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Their pirate costumes are nothing alike, and the image they portray is very different as well.

Why pirate costumes?

There is something about pirates that captivates the imagination – even though the origins of these folks is very questionable as best. So, if you want something fun to wear to your masquerade party or the Halloween contest in your area then you might consider pirate costumes for starters. Have a great time!

It’s coming quickly. The pressure of Halloween is on. Or, maybe you just have a special masquerade ball you are attending soon. Here are some quick tips for wearing book character costumes that will have heads turning when you walk in.

Creative Book Character Costumes For Halloween

You may be tired of going out for Halloween dressed as the common ghost, witch, or mummy. Instead of going with what you find in the stores, you can go out and get what you need to make up your own totally unique costume that no one else will be wearing.

They may have made the same costume but yours is going to be different than theirs because you made yours on your own. One great place to find ideas, if you are low on inspiration, would be in some of your favorite books. Book character costumes can be a lot of fun and are going to stand out in the crowd as original.

Go back to be unique

If you want something that you are not going to see on many other people this Halloween, do not go for book character costumes that are popular right now. You can usually tell this by looking through the movies that have been out and popular in the last few years.

One example would be Harry Potter. Though you can come up with your own costume for this, these are being mass produced at the moment, making this a very common costume. If you like that character, that’s okay, just know you or your child will not be the only one wearing it.

Make sure they know the characters

When you choose book character costumes, you can choose what you want, but if you go with something obscure, you may find that no one knows who you are supposed to be and that you are going to have to explain your costume time and time again.

If you go with something that many have read, but is not out in a movie now or has been in the recent past, you may not have to explain too much. Scarlett O’Hara from Gone With the Wind is well known, but you may not run into too many people who have chosen it. You may not have to explain either, making it a great choice.

Making or buying your character outfit

There are a few things to keep in mind when constructing your costume. Some books that are classics have not been made into a movie. This means your interpretation of what that character looks like will be up to you and what you found in the book.

This type of book character costume will be a bit more difficult to make, but it will also be hard to be wrong. If something has been a movie, even if that movie was made a long time ago, there is already a predetermined look associated with that character. That is something to keep in mind.

Accessories and such

If you have chosen book character costumes that are out of the ordinary, you may have a hard time finding what you need to build your costume.

Shopping: buying or renting

You may want to go to a high end costume store for the bits and pieces that you need, or you can look online for the biggest variety of hard to find items that are going to be perfect for your book character costumes and accessories. At times, you may have to rent something, but that may be better than paying a lot of money for something you may never use again.

So, do your research. Be hapy with your outfit and get involved with book character costumes that will be memorable for you and the other guests at the party.

Disney clothes? For adults? Who said that kids should have all the fun? Grown-ups like dressing up too and adult Disney costumes bring a lot of fun to the party.

These outfits are ideal for fancy dress parties or bachelor nights. Couples going to a social function can go in complementing outfits.

There is a wide range to choose from, from the classic movies of yesteryear to the more modern ones. Whatever your favorite character is, there is something for everyone for both men and ladies. With so much variety, it’s easy to put together a theme for any party.

Become a princess this Halloween

Ladies have a selection of beautiful outfits and they can live out their fantasies to be Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora or Ariel. They can also explore their dark side and be the Evil Queen, complete with a gown and cape, gold cord and sash and a gold crown.

One of the most villainous characters available in an adult size Disney costume is Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians. Not a costume for dog lovers! The black velvet dress is sleeveless and there is a Dalmatian print cape and fake Dalmatian fur. There is also a black and white wig for the finishing touch.

But I wanna be a pirate!

Every schoolboy wants to be a pirate and the Pirates of Caribbean series of movies brought out the swashbuckler in us all. The hero is Jack Sparrow, with a cutlass in his hand and a glint in his eye. The Men’s Jack Sparrow adult costume from Disney looks like the real deal with the headgear, tunic, trousers, boots and belt.

Accessories are also available for the pirate, including a pistol, temporary eye tattoos, and simulated shrunken head and simulated chicken bones and foot suspended on a string. A pirate theme would go well with a house treasure hunt.

Timeless clothing

Peter Pan is another classic tale and the costume comes with a dark green tunic, green hat with a red feather, brown trousers, and a brown leather belt with a holder for a sword. Every Peter Pan needs his Tinker Bell, with a mint green costume and gossamer style wings.

Aladdin and Princess Jasmine, the Arabian Prince and Princess, also make the perfect couple. Aladdin has a silver jumpsuit, silver turban and purple cape. Prince Charming, the evergreen romantic hero has a costume with gold tassle braiding.

Tune up your falsetto voice

For a real look back at childhood, Minnie Mouse can make an entrance in a red polka dot skirt, white gloves and headband with trademark mouse ears. In contrast, there is the futuristic hero from the Toy Story movies, Buzz Lightyear.

This would be a good selection for an adult Disney costume at a science fiction party. Buzz the Space Ranger has a bodysuit, boot covers, wings (for falling with grace), and hood. He also has flashing buttons, a requirement for any self-respecting astronaut.

TV costumes

High School Musical is one of Disney’s recent successes and the High School Musical Glitter costume can be personalized with a message or a name, embroidered on to the outfit. The ideas are endless and so dress right in something that would make Walt Disney proud!

For Halloween or other reasons, 80s costumes are “in” this year. Disco and Saturday Night Fever just never seem to slow down so now you can wear this retro clothing from the 1980 period with confidence.

If you were fashion conscious during the 1980′s, you can’t help but remember these ultra flamboyant 80′s costumes which drove the disco scene.

These costumes were definitely not for the shrinking violet type! Wearing one of the typical 80′s costumes required that you be willing to be noticed, wherever you might go. Fashionistas attending a disco vied with every other dancer to be the most outrageously dressed at the party.

Fans of retro clothes

While these elaborate outfits did not survive beyond the disco days, they are enjoying an encore with retro fashion fans everywhere. If you’re unfamiliar with the style, let’s take a look at the quintessential 80′s costume. It does make a statement at a party!

First, the hair. The obviously bleached blond look was one of the most desirable. Long was good, as were big and abundant curls. If you’re not into bleaching, you’ll need a wig to pull this look off with the proper panache. Other popular looks included color mixes, such as your regular brown hair on one side, with a shocking bright red on the other.

Large hats, decorated with feathers, large and brightly colored plastic flowers were also cool for some 80′s costume devotees.

Accessories

As for footwear, boots were large and in charge. Most often, knee highs were the boot of choice. The favored material was shiny, in-your-face patent leather.

As with every other component of the 80′s costume, colors ranged from bright to brighter to day-glo. There was no subtly in these colors. Primary colors were essential to the right look. Think canary yellow, hot pink and fire engine red.

To showcase the boots, contrasting colors of opaque stockings were a necessity. You’ve probably got a handle on the 80′s look by now.

Color schemes and ideas

Now for the dress. The colors were still brilliant, but this is where the costume acquired variety. This garment is where the costume became individualized. Rock star looks featured everything from Marilyn Monroe glamor to slinky fake lizard fabrics interspersed with a little metallic threading.

Outrageous ballerina-styled costumes, featuring a brilliantly colored bodice and nylon net mid-thigh – not mini – skirt also found favor with the 80′s costume crowd. Bell-bottom pants were also in vogue, with the bell being highly exaggerated. Mini dresses, with long bell bottom sleeves and gigantically patterned fabrics were yet another variation.

The cool 80s look

Men’s wear was sometimes a tad less outrageous. The dude who wanted to look cool might show up in a black dress shirt, sans tie and an over-sized sport jacket and slacks, in a neutral color.

This guy let the woman grab all the attention. Other men tried to out-do his woman’s costume, sporting a brilliant yellow, patent leather, zip-up suit with perhaps a bright red trim at neck and pant hem.

Now, if the 80′s costume look sounds like your next party garment or your Halloween apparel this year, all you need to do is go shopping online. With millions of results, you can surely find your red hot retro costume. Get down tonight!

The 1970 decade is one of the most remembered in history and now you can dress up for Halloween in style this year.

With Halloween fast approaching, many people are scrambling for a costume.

Selecting the right Halloween costume can be difficult; there are now more choices than every before and the simple act of going to one store and picking out a costume in fifteen minutes is a thing of the past. Lately, I have been thinking more and more about period costumes as a great choice to stand out this Halloween. Mostly, I am trying to find a great 70′s costume.

Benefits of period clothes

There are several reasons I like period costuming for Halloween. First of all, it definitely rides that thin line between obscurity and originality.

You can come up with something clever that people can still easily indentify and recognize without being obvious and lame. A 70′s costume would be no exception; even if people do not remember who exactly you are, they will usually be impressed with the original thought and attention to period detail.

When I think of a 70′s costume, I try to go beyond the obvious. It seems like every decade has one or two costumes that people immediately think of and the 70′s are no exception.

For the most part, the common 70′s costume is either a disco girl or a Superfly-esque pimp. These are all well and good, but they will not win you any points for new; they are costumes you see, maybe not everywhere, but once in a while.

Be a movie star (for a day at least)

A good period 70′s costume, then goes a little deeper. The place I like to start is celebrities. Who was famous in the 70′s? And did they have such a distinctive look that you can pull of. Most people think of Elvis as a 50′s celebrity, but he made a huge comeback in the 70′s with his Vegas-style costumes. Elvis is not the best example, but other celebrities had distinctive looks that can make a great 70′s costume.

Character clothing

Even better, perhaps than dressing as a celebrity, since few of them “stand out” in terms of an unmistakeable signature style, is dressing up as a famous character from the 70′s. This is my favorite option for a great 70′s costume if you can do it correctly. Personally, I think dressing up like Jack Nicholson’s character in Chinatown, complete with nose bandage would be a great choice.

However you approach your 70′s costume, I think it will be a great success. People love period costumes and if you make one that is uniquely yours, all the better. Take a little time to think outside the box and you will be sure to have a great 70′s costume. Happy Halloween!

This Halloween you are looking for something new to wear aren’t you? Well, you might consider dressing up in something old like a 1970s costume this year. You will certainly get attention at the party with these retro clothes.

There are many directions to go when choosing 1970′s costumes to wear to a 2009 halloween party. The 1970s were themselves a time of social, cultural and sartorial upheaval, a time when people of subculture began to push more into the mainstream.

As a result they began to bring their subcultural modes of not only thought and political activism to the fore, but also their manner of dressing.

Why the 70s outfit is so popular

In a way, 1970′s costumes were an outlet for people of similar backgrounds, political ideas and desires to identify with others of the same notions. We identify each other, in other words, by the way we look and dress and act.

Typs of costumes from the 1970 era

Some examples of this in terms of 1970′s costumes are swingers, disco dress, and “pimps” in the Superfly mold. Swingers of course, are defined thusly by wikipedia:

Swinging, sometimes referred to as the swinging lifestyle, is “non-monogamous sexual activity, treated much like any other social activity, that can be experienced as a couple.”[1] The phenomenon of swinging (or at least its wider discussion and practice) may be seen as part of the sexual revolution of recent decades, which occurred after the upsurge in sexual activity made possible by the prevalence of safer couples practices during the same period.

So choosing a swinger outfit as the best of the 1970′s costumes makes some sense. Same with a disco outfit – just look at “Saturday Night Fever” for inspiration, since that is the definitive disco film and provides the best ideas for 1970′s costumes of that mold.

And as I mentioned before, Superfly is another great idea. For those not familiar, Superfly is the story of an inner-city drug dealer who turns against his mafia bosses and goes on a killing spree.

Sure, you need a full-length fur coat to pull the costume off, but a creative halloween costume buyer can come up with that with a bit of effort. Add some gold rings, a cane, sunglasses and fancy hat, and you’re ready to rock with the best of 1970′s costumes.

So, now you have the rest of the story. At any rate, have some fun this year and swing around to your party or event wearing your retro clothing in the form of 1970s costumes for full effect of the period. Hey, this could even be a Halloween party theme this season!

I’m trying to find a plaid shirt, that is red or white or blue. a combination of 2 of 3 of those colors would be great too! I only have about 20-25 dollars though. I don’t want anything costume. Im going to a party and i want to show my friend how cute plaid shirts are! (she doesn’t like them for some reason!"

I have a purple halter dress that was a bridesmaids dress (4 months old). I was wanting to get to use it again and I thought about for halloween. It was handmade so I wouldn’t feel too awful bad doing some alterations to it. Just wondering what I could do to use it as a halloween costume!? Thanks for all your opinions!

Starting with the big head

Where would any fancy dress or costume celebration be without the usual big head and crazy celebrity costumes in the mix?

There’s no lacking of people to poke fun at right now, and celebrity costume ideas should not be hard to come by this year for anyone. From politics to the plethora of ‘reality’ TV stars (are they REALLY stars?) the past 12 months should have no one in a bind to figure out a costume or celeb to impersonate for the office party.

In politics, the biggest one’s are going to be the obvious ones – Palin, Pelosi, Steele and their like will be everywhere, but how about something a little more off the wall and not so run of the mill as the usual celebrity costume ideas? How about going as Putin, if you can make it work?

Blagovivch should certainly be there if you can handle the hair, or hairpiece to look like him – or, if you have money, simply get in touch with him and for a couple of grand he’ll come to the party as himself for you – he needs the cash, apparently…….

TV celebrity outfits

TV is going to be where most new celebrity costume ideas will come from. There’s Octomom and her 14 kids (use dolls, please!), Jacko will of course be making many, many appearances, Heidi and Spencer (if you really want to go looking like a douche), Gordon Ramsey is a cheap one to do as all your need to do is borrow a chefs jacket and scream obscenities in a British accent (even though he’s Scottish – wonder why no-one’s asked him about his lack of accent?) and so on.

Let’s not forget too that pundits such as Glenn Beck and Cramer (“don’t sell your stocks – there’s nothing wrong with the markets – buy Bear Stearns, its healthy!”) have certainly earned themselves a healthy heaping of ridicule over the past year so let’s not forget that particular little parcel of joy to indulge in.

Halloween celebrity costume ideas and tips

When Halloween comes around, the first step everyone takes is to start thinking about their costumes. Costumes are great because they allow you to pretend or act like someone (or even something) else for a couple of hours, or just one night. So people often ask themselves; what or who do I want to be for Halloween? And many people want to dress up like celebrities.

It makes a lot of sense; the reason many of us love and follow celebrities and celebrity news and gossip is that many of us want to be a celebrity and live that lifestyle of glamor and fame. So what are the great celebrity costume ideas? Well, read on.

First of all, you must be careful with your celebrity costume ideas. There are many that are well-worn out. I’m looking at you, girl dressed up as Amy Winehouse. This is the problem with even the best of celebrity costume ideas; someone else might come up with it also.

For that reason, you want to avoid “flavor-of-the-month” celebrities when thinking about celebrity costume ideas. Anyone that is only recently famous (think, Meghan Fox) is a dubious choice as a good celebrity costume idea.

Going as a celebrity is difficult, as many celebrities don’t necessarily have a “look”. The reason? Celebrities are only people. For that reason, celebrity costume ideas are limited to celebrities that dress in their day-to-day life like costumes, such as Amy Winehouse or Flava Flav. For this reason, you will have to work hard to come up with good celebrity costume ideas.

Dress in the actor’s role

Better than going purely as a celebrity is to go as a celebrity – in a particular role. Sure, you might be able to “pull off” a Tom Cruise costume, but wouldn’t it be more fun to be Tom Cruise in “Top Gun” or, for the bold, “Magnolia”. Of course, these celebrity costume ideas aren’t without some issues themselves.

First of all, dressing as a character (or celebrity, for that matter) will probably force you to act like that character all night. Maybe this sounds good to you, but not to me. Secondly, you run the risk of being a character in a movie or show that few people have seen.

Choose carefully, or you’ll spend your whole night trying to explain and convince people that, yes, in fact, this is a great reproduction of their costumes and that it is awesome.

The main thing with celebrity costume ideas is to make them topical, and something that people can readily recognize. Let your imagination run wild and look at as many celebrities as possible to get tips and new ideas. You’ll come up with something that suits your style and bravery. 

Going as Napoleon Dynamite might appeal to you, but if everyone you work with is over fifty and have never seen the movie, why bother, as no one will know who you are?? So think about it beforehand, and make it something you can really get recognized for!

All in all, good celebrity costume ideas are hard to come by, but, when done well are often the hit of the party. So, instead of the ho-hum Dracula, go as a personality or star or politician this year. Be creative and you’ll be the one they’ll remember until next year.
