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!

No words needed

If you are dizzy with all the outfit choices to wear, how about checking out these celebrity costume ideas for a fresh change. You can be sexy, sultry, sophisticated or mysterious when you show up for the masquerade ball.

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.
