Adult Costumes

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! 

He’ll be sure to enjoy seeing you in one of these costumes:

• Sexy First Mate Costume
• Sergeant Sassy Costume
• Sailor Sweetie Costume
• Deckhand Diva Costume
• Bootcamp Babe Costume

 

Halloween is also a great time to wear a sexy military or law enforcement costume!

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!

Slasher films have been around for decades and although every year a new one makes it to the big screen it’s always the old horror flicks that many people still recognize.

Scary movies that have a really well recognized (by people of every age) main character are:

• Halloween – Michael Myers – Since the first movie was released in 1978 there have been nine sequels in the franchise.
• Friday the 13th – Jason Voorhees – Since the first movie was released in 1980 there have been 11 sequels in the franchise.
• Chainsaw Massacre – Leatherface – Since the first movie was released in 1974 there have been five sequels in the franchise.
• Nightmare on Elm Street - Freddy Krueger – Since the first movie was released in 1984 there have been eight sequels in the franchise.

 

Characters such as Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Leatherface and Freddy Krueger are some of the most sought after masks and costumes for Halloween.  If you put on a white hockey mask everyone knows who you are dressed up as.  The same goes with a leather mask and chainsaw or the gloved hand with fingers made of blades.  Each of these characters have some sort of ”disguise” that is easily recognized by any fan of horror movies.

Memorial Day weekend has come and gone and summer is right around the corner.  The pools have opened, the schools have closed and everyone is ready for some summer fun. 

One of America’s favorite past times is the sport of Major League Baseball.  Fans flock to the stadiums to watch their favorite professional teams battle it out for the top position in the American and National Leagues.  The unofficial anthem to baseball, ”Take Me Out To The Ballgame”, the seventh inning stretch, stadium hot dogs, peanuts and ice cold beer all come together in baseball stadiums across the country to make baseball what it is today.

Baseball became popular in this country in the early 19th century when many sources report the growing popularity of a game called “townball”, “base” or “baseball”.   And what better holiday to showcase your love of the game and its origins then Halloween.  A holiday where we can dress in the old style uniforms of collarless jerseys, pantaloons and knickers.  The Old Tyme Baseball Player Costume is a throw-back to the 1920′s and a great way to relive the days when baseball was first and foremost in every one’s minds.

Have fun this Halloween by dressing up as a true baseball player from the 1920′s!

Halloween costumes come in a variety of shapes and sizes.  They can be scary, funny, sweet or even a little outrageous.  While children’s costumes are geared more toward the sweet princesses or the brave superheroes, adult costumes are a little more daring.

Adult costumes are selling like never before and even though Halloween is still a “trick-or-treat” holiday for children, more and more adults are getting into the fun.  Of course they’re not going door to door asking for candy, but they are throwing extravagant costume parties.

The funny costumes are the best.  People love them and it’s always the topic of conversation for days after the party.  One of my favorite costumes is a funny take on a game that’s been around for ages called Twister.  Everyone has played that game at some point in their lives.  When young, the game is fun and always good for a laugh to see everyone get tangled up on the plastic board.  However, for adults while it’s still fun, I’m pretty sure the game takes on a new meaning! 

The Twister Costume is always a big hit at any party.  The dress resembles the game with it’s big dots in yellow, red, blue and green and the hat is the spinner.  If you do go to a Halloween party this year wearing the Twister costume, you may want to bring along the actual game with you.  Chances are everyone is going to want to play what you’re wearing!
