Adult Costumes

As little kids we all played cowboys and Indians at some point in our lives.  Summer days were filled with running around the neighborhood with some of us wearing cowboy hats and plastic holster sets tied around our waists, while others wore ribbon headbands with feathers and a bow and arrow set across our chests.   We would run around for hours and never get tired.  Tents put up in the backyard served as Teepee’s for the Indians and the swing set fort was home to the cowboys. 

Now that I’m older and with a lot less energy, I’ll simply stick to “dressing up” as a cowboy or Indian on Halloween!  It’s just as much fun because the adult costumes are so much better.  A sexy cowgirl costume with fringed chaps is always a big hit with the cowboys on the range.  And for you cowboys out there, don’t forget your Big Tex holster set; no cowboy is complete without his big guns!

It’s “Cheeseburgers in Paradise” all over again as Jimmy Buffett rolls into Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio tonight with his “Under The Big Top Tour”!  The Parrothead Nation is celebrating it’s 25th anniversary as it marks a milestone in Margaritaville.  It was at a June, 1985 concert at Timberwolf at Kings Island that the term “Parrothead” was coined.

This concert tonight is in it’s 42nd year at Riverbend and it sells out within minutes after the tickets go on sale.  The people of Cincinnati and Kentucky go crazy with the Hawaiian shirts, leis, grass skirts, straw hats and bermuda shorts.  

Blow up sharks and beach balls are bouncing over the crowd of people the entire time while shark fin costumes are everywhere.  Nothing is too crazy for the Parrothead Nation!

The Margarita’s will be flowing and Jimmy Buffet will be singing…it doesn’t get any better than that!

For his 21st century Robin Hood, director Ridley Scott may have gotten rid of the notorious green tights and feathered cap, but the rugged good looks and sexiness is still there played by none other than the gorgeous Russell Crowe.  Ridley Scott also directed Russell in the movie, Gladiator which is why he wanted Robin Hood portrayed as a “sharp-witted, tough-minded badass who knows how to handle his weaponry”.  Wow, that sounds a lot like Russell’s character, Maximus in Gladiator!

I’ve always loved movies like this, so I’m looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.  It’s being released tomorrow, so I don’t have long to wait!

I thought Kevin Costner was great in “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” back in 1991, but I’m thinking Russell Crowe may just have an edge over him on the whole Robin Hood image.  I’ve seen Gladiator 100 times, so this is one movie I’m not going to miss!

I have a feeling that Robin Hood costumes are going to be pretty hot this year!  From little boys to men, Robin Hood is going to be the new superhero of Halloween costumes!

Have the words, “Stop acting like a child” ever been said to you before? If so, you should consider yourself lucky. It’s so important in life to take some time to be a kid again, to even act like a child.

Halloween is a great time to do just that. Everyone loves Halloween! From toddlers to grandparents, you’re never to young or too old to take advantage of such a fun-filled, exciting holiday.

A lot of parents walk around the neighborhood with their children, so why not dress-up in costume and enjoy the evening. Start while your kids are young and they will expect you to do it every year which gives you the perfect excuse for putting on that adult Batman costume you’ve had your eye on! 

Everything from treasure loving pirates to Disney movie characters; yes, the Buzz Lightyear costume even comes in adult sizes!  However, if you do decide to dress up while walking your children around on Halloween night, let’s leave the sexy costumes at home.  Save those for the adult costume parties!
