Adult Costumes

If you’re one of those adults that just doesn’t want to grow up, then Halloween is the perfect holiday for you!  Since Halloween is a time for kids to be kids and adults to be kids, you might as well enjoy it.

Dressing up for Halloween isn’t just for kids anymore.  Every year more and more adults are buying costumes and heading out to Halloween parties, costume parties, bars and clubs and even trick-or-treating with their children.  By the way, younger kids love when their parents dress up for Halloween.  So if you’re planning on walking around the neighborhood with your kids or even if you’re staying at home base to give out candy, put on a costume – your children will love it!

Since the movie Toy Story 3 has come out, it’s once again brought attention to all the great toys we played with as kids.  I think I actually enjoyed the movie more than my daughter because I could relate to Mr and Mrs Potato Head, the bucket of soldiers and the slinky dog because they were toys I played with as a kid.

Those animated characters make for the perfect costumes for adults that want to take one day out of the year (Halloween) to not grow up!  How much fun would it be to go as a toy you and your friends played with as children? 

You could be one of the green army men or put on a Mr. Potato Head costume for all your friends to see.  Your friends would love it.  You’d be the talk of the party!

Contrary to popular belief not everyone is built like a supermodel!  Believe it or not the average American woman is 5′4″, weighs 140 lbs and wears a size 14 dress.  This so-called “ideal” woman that you see in magazines portrayed by models, Miss America, Barbie dolls, and some actresses is 5′7″, weighs 100 lbs and wears a size 6. 

Here’s another tidbit of information…one-third of all American women wear a size 16 or larger.  Sales in plus size costumes for Halloween have risen over the years so it’s always nice to know that there are stores online that carry a wide variety of great looking costumes for every shape and size!

Adultcostumes.net carries just that selection!  Men’s, women’s, sexy, humorous and horror costumes all in plus sizes.  The convenience of looking and ordering online in the comfort of your own home is second to none.

So this Halloween slip into that sexy Pirate Wrench Adult Costume or become Prince Charming for the night in a plus size costume!

Halloween for adults has really come around these past few years.  It’s so much fun throwing a costume party and seeing what crazy costumes your friends come up with. 

When it comes to humorous costumes, especially for guys it seems that anything that has to do with beer will work just fine.  Beer costumes come in every shape and size.  There’s Beer Man, Beer Keg, Beer Belly, Beer Mug, Beer Can, Beer Bottle and there’s even a Beer Pong Adult Costume!  How funny is that!?

And so the women don’t feel left out, there’s the Beer Garden Sexy Gretchen Adult Costume.  Believe me, this costume will have every guy at the party trying to get you to serve them beer! 

You’ll find a lot of beer costumes on college campuses during Halloween festivities!  There a lot of fun to wear and always the hit of the party!

Halloween is celebrated the world over in many ways and is consistently referred to as “the day of the dead souls”, when the undead spirits walk among the living.   It is also one of the oldest holidays dating back to Pagan times.  Villagers believed that wearing scary costumes and offering special treats were the way to welcome the spirits and avoid their wrath. 

To some extent that is still true today.  Not so much the part about avoiding the wrath of the dead souls, but wearing scary costumes and offering treats is definitely the Halloween we know and love. 

When we think of Halloween a few words come to mind; haunted, horror and evil.  Haunted houses, gruesome graveyards and adult horror costumes are all a big part of what makes up the Halloween holiday.  

The scary factor is what makes Halloween so much fun!  

Dressing up in horror costumes to celebrate October 31st is also a lot of fun!  Witches, ghosts, zombies and every evil character that has ever graced the big screen are sure to make appearances at Halloween costume parties, night clubs and neighborhood get-togethers.  Keep the tradition of wearing scary costumes this year for Halloween; you’ll make our ancestors proud!

Sometimes, after being in a relationship for a long period of time your intimate moments together can start to feel a little “boring”.  Your sex life is just not as exciting as it used to be.  The love is still there, but something is missing…

What you need to do is add a little spice to your love life by introducing a little role playing.  You’ve seen it before in the movies where a woman picks up a man at a bar and takes him home only to find out they’re actually husband and wife, pretending to be other people to add a little intrigue to their sex life.  The woman might wear a wig as a disguise while the man will have on a suit acting as if he’s in town on business. 

This same concept of role playing can be brought into the bedroom.  Playing “dress-up” is a great way to turn on your partner!  The most popular costumes for adult dress-up play dates are by far, doctor and nurse (or Intern and Candy Striper).  Couples love this! 

Next time you’re looking for a way to spice up your bedroom antics, think costumes!  There’s nothing like a little Nurse Feelgood or Naughty Nurse Sexy Adult Costume to get your partners temperature rising!

Anyone who has seen the movie Animal House, remembers Bluto,(played by John Belushi) and the infamous frat house Toga party!  That movie was released back in 1978 and still today the “Toga Party” is as popular as ever.  A little fyi – the line, “Toga! Toga!” was chosen #82 on the American Film Institutes list of America’s 100 Greastest Movie Quotes of All Time.

One reason Toga parties are so popular is that besides the fact that they are so much fun, the costumes you need to wear are really cheap and easy to make!  A simple white sheet is all you need.  To top off your toga look don’t forget your headpiece or your roman sandals.  What you wear under your toga is completely up to you!

So next time you’re thinking of throwing a big bash – think TOGA!

The definition of the word mascot is, “a term for any person, animal or object thought to bring luck and/or a person or animal that is adopted by a team or other group as a symbolic figure”. 

Society has come a long way in its current version of mascots.  Early accounts of masked creatures, often resembling animals were drawn or etched on cave walls and depicted in ancient art. Totem poles were filled with likenesses of animals in ancient cultures. These likenesses are much like the concept of the team mascots evident on football fields and basketball courts. Usually in ancient times the history of mascots’ shows that these likenesses were often worshiped.

Today, mascots are seen as artists and entertainers with traits that now make it an art form.  Great mascots do not learn their stage presence from a classroom; it’s all as they say, “on-the-job training”.  The person must be able to put their individuality aside and really get into character; become one with the character.  This is crucial to being a believable mascot that people adore!  Mascots are especially popular with children.

The more personable a mascot is, the more approachable they will be.  Plus they will be loved by fans of all ages.  The position of mascot commands a lot of power over crowds at games. They have the ability to get the fans on their feet and cheer them on to victory!

Halloween is the only holiday where it is perfectly fine for adults to act like children again; in fact it’s encouraged. It’s such a fun filled, no pressure holiday that both kids and adults get to dress up and have a blast!

The fairytales that we read to our children have wonderful characters that beg to come alive on Halloween. You see many children dressed as their favorite princess or pirate every year for the holiday. However, did you know that storybook character costumes are just as popular with adults as well?  Adults especially love a happy ending, so becoming Snow White, Cinderella or Prince Charming for the day is the perfect way to spend Halloween. 

There’s also the other end of the spectrum when it comes to fairytale characters.  Everyone loves the sweet innocent princesses, but what about the evil villains such as; the Wicked Witch, Captain Hook, the Big Bad Wolf or the evil Queen.  Those characters are just as much fun to play!

All women know that men in uniform are hot!  There’s something about a uniform that makes a man look sexy. 

Now, let’s take a moment to turn the tables and check out just how hot a woman can be in uniform.  Well, it’s not exactly the type of uniform you’ll see walking around the barracks, but I’m pretty sure the men will enjoy these uniforms a little bit more.

Sexy military costumes are a great way to add a little spice to your love life.  If you have a husband or boyfriend in the military what better way to welcome them home then by slipping into a similar uniform to his own.  However with yours, it will be a lot less uniform and a lot more skin!

The 1960’s gave birth to the “hippies”.  1967 known as the “Summer of Love” in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury District was the peak of the hippie movement. Others might say Woodstock, 2 years later in 1969 was. 

Hippies were made up of mostly the younger population and made a huge impact in American society.  It was a time where peace, love and music took center stage.  

One of the most noticeable aspects of a hippie was of course their clothing. 

Tie-dye, mini dresses, hip huggers and bell bottom jeans, wire-rim glasses, beads and headbands; on their feet it was either Birkenstocks or barefoot.

Halloween is a great time to take advantage of this awesome style of dress.  Hippie costumes are a perfect way to bring out your inner hippie and embrace the peace and love movement!
