Pantyhose. I hear they are uncomfortable to wear, but what would I know, I’m a dude. As Halloween approaches, the Scavenge crew is on the hunt for the single most useful item to have in your costume arsenal. Today we humbly submit pantyhose, and its many seasonal uses.
Bald Cap. Since pantyhose come in a multitude of colors, match your skin tone and lose the hair! Cut properly, this sheer material can get your hair under control – and keep you a whole lot cooler.
Bank Robber. We all know that bank robbers usually have small accounts. Perhaps that’s why so many gun slingers choose to their dastardly deed donning pantyhose. You’ll mask many of your features, but your profile (especially if you are a rhinoplasty candidate) will still be visible. Perhaps these egotistical fools like identifying themselves on film? » Read more: Halloween Costume Ideas – 6 Uses for Pantyhose

Halloween Costume Ideas – 6 Uses for Pantyhose
August 5th, 2010What NOT to do in your Elf Costume
December 3rd, 2009We all agree, dressing up is a fun thing to do during the holidays. A Santa costume is always great fun, as is a good elf or Santa’s helper costume. Whether a male or female these two types of costumes are a merry way to pump your holidays full of cheer and joy.
Cosplay Vader and Stormtroopers Give Blood
November 17th, 2009Ever heard the word Cosplay? It’s short for Costume Play and it refers to groups or individuals who like to dress up in costume. It’s not just about Halloween for them. It could be for specific costume events, conventions, reenactments, or just for fun.
Spiderman Arrested
November 13th, 2009I am the first to admit that things can get hairy out there on the streets for Superheroes. (I know, I live it all the time because I’m a real superhero, but don’t tell anyone). There’s crime to fight, evil plans for world domination to thwart, civilians to rescue, lives to save. Someone should remind Spiderman of that.
LULU Day
November 11th, 2009
The holidays are looming and the pressure builds. Who is coming to Thanksgiving? Who’s hosting it this year? What will I make? Will crazy Uncle Ted and Cousin Barney have another knock down drag out political debate? How will I make sure to get a piece of Grandma’s pecan pie before my sister woofs it all down?

Good and Bad News for Santa
November 9th, 2009Halloween has passed and what’s the next big event on the calendar?? Well, yeah, there’s Thanksgiving, but I was actually thinking of something bigger, redder, jollier, with a little ho-ho-ho thrown in on the side.
How it Ended
November 2nd, 2009
The Costume Craziness that is Halloween has come to an end along with our fabulous Costume Countdown. It got supremely hectic down at Scavenge in those last few days. The staff was in costume, half of our customers were in costume, and something happened for the first time ever.

Costume Countdown Day 31: Going to the Dogs
October 31st, 2009The end is here! 31 days of showcasing costumes. 31 days of counting down to Halloween. 31 days of men’s costumes, women’s costumes, do-it-yourself costumes, costumes for kids, and costumes for teens. So why not end it all with one type of costume we haven’t shown yet.
My friend’s dog, Sasha, was an excited volunteer for this Fluffy Bunny doggy costume. Can’t you just see it in his eyes? He’s loving it.
Dress your pup up and take him or her out for some trick-or-treating fun.
Costume Countdown Day 30: On a Mission
October 30th, 2009
My do-it-yourself SWAT costume.
I created my own SWAT costume for today. I just love costumes that have to do with adventure, excitement, thrills, and even danger. Uniforms, military, special forces and all sorts of law enforcement costumes seem to really fit this category for me. Also, the last minute shoppers can be a bit fussy, unruly, and rude so I needed a costume with some muscle behind my costume today.
About a month before Halloween I did my yearly thrift store run. I go there, keeping my eyes peeled for any treasures, great deals, or something I can make into a fun costume. It was here that I found the SWAT vest. All I added was my UnderArmour running tights, some way-cool boots I discovered at the thrift store (for $4!), and a black baseball hat on which I stuck “SWAT” logo. I just found a logo online, did some cropping and resizing, printed it out and stuck it on my hat with duct tape. To all of this I added a policeman belt that had a gun, handcuffs, a baton, a flashlight, and a walkie talkie.
I started the day wearing just the vest on top. It was hot and it worked out great. When the sun set and temperatures dropped, I put on my UnderArmour long sleeve shirt. I was prepared for any situation, just like a real SWAT officer.
