  A lot of girls are like Alice. They enjoy creating their own wonderland and they never stop dreaming. They arrange their dolls,  stuffed animals or even “pretend” friends all around their room, and can have a full afternoon of fun.  They can pretend to be anyone or anything, doctors, mothers,  or even animals. They have family’s to take care of, friends to doctor, and even become brides.That is why this year The Alice in Wonderland Costume will be a big hit.  Along with the popularity of the movie, these character costumes will be sold out way before Halloween. Be sure to get yours for your daughters theme birthday tea party. You’ll also be able to get a great group theme going for Halloween or the next costume party your invited to.

  Posted on Sunday, March 21st, 2010 in Pop Culture Costumes – Comments: (0)
  The new Alice in Wonderland movie was released in early March 2010. Alice in Wonderland is a fantasy adventure film directed by Tim Burton and written by Linda Woolverton.I heard the movie was great, although a little dark in nature. My nine year old son and I went to see the movie and had a great time. When I asked my son what his favorite Mad Hatter part of the movie was, he stated it was the “Futterwacken” dance. The Mad Hatter performs this very funky, leg wiggly, body moving dance, after Alice slays the Jabberwocky. I have to say it was pretty funny.

  The Santa Suit is the most popular Christmas time costume. It is worn by all of “Santa’s Helpers” in  the malls, and at one time those ringing the bells for the Salvation Army all wore a Santa outfit. A few other places you may see someone dressed as Jolly ole Saint Nick would be in plays at Christmas time, in a church program, at Christmas party’s, and lets not forget those who wear Santa’s colors for their children on Christmas Eve. Anytime this costume is warn, it tends to draw people young and old, to the person wearing it. So be sure to set a very good example while wearing the most popular costume at Christmas time the Santa Costume.

• Amazing Costume Ideas

  Getting awsome and amazing costume ideas can be great fun. You can be any thing you want to be when it comes to Halloween or costume parties. I love getting my ideas from Hollywood. The movies, movie stars, and pop stars are all great idea areas. A great example would be the “Wizard of Oz”, there are so many characters to choose from in this movie. You have Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion, Glinda the good Witch, the Wicked Witch of the West, her minion Monkeys, and lets not forget Munchkin Land with all the Munchkins. You could pick any one of these as a single costume or go as a group. It would definitely be a crowd pleaser. I’ve even seen a new costume line called “The Wicked of Oz” if you like the evil/scary aspect of costumes. Give it a try and come up with your amazing costume idea.

  One of my all time favorite movies is “Star Wars” and Yoda one of the movies most intellegent and delightful characters. This is one of the reasons why this year I will be dressing my pet dog Sasha in the Yoda dog halloween costumes. She kind of even reminds me of Yoda when she speaks her doggie talk. The costume itself includes a headpeice with ears and a jumpsuit with arms. She didn’t like last years costume but she seems to enjoy the attention she’s getting in this one. Our Sasha so loves to walk around with our youngest son on Halloween trick or treating. I’m sure she will get lots of comments this year along with my son who is going as Luke Skywalker!!

• Couple Haloween Costumes
  Posted on Saturday, August 15th, 2009 in Couple Costumes – Comments: (0)
  My discovery of couple Haloween costumes. When I was in my teens I found I liked couples costumes the best. At this time I was deep into my first real boyfriend-girlfriend relationship and I was of course deeply in love. So what could be a better sign that we were a couple than to dress up in the same costumes for Halloween. Friends being friends they felt the need at the time to poke fun at us and thought it was a little bit juvenile, but change their opinions they did when they realized how many adults do dress in couple costumes as we did. So it was fun to see we weren’t the only couple that entered the next Haloween party in costumes for couples. Now every year we start to think about costume ideas all together long before the Halloween parties began.

  Costumes aren’t just for Holloween anymore. We use them for costume parties, Renaissance Faires, birthday parties, even adults at role play. In my future posts I will hit on several of these areas.
