Ten Commandments of Costumes

February 9th, 2010

What if Moses had come down from the mountain wearing a feather boa?  Maybe he was headed to a costume party, ready to deliver the ten commandments of costumes to all party goers.  They could be a little something like this –

French Maid Costumes

  1. Thou shalt never think that costumes only come out at Halloween.  Live it up and wear one whenever the mood strikes.
  2. Thou shalt always use a mirror when applying make up – unless thou is dressed as an old woman.  Then lipstick in odd places and sloppy eye makeup is entirely appropriate.
  3. Thou shalt wear undergarments at all times under a toga costume.  The same law does not apply to men when wearing a kilt – always go authentically Scottish.

Unexpected Costumes for the Kid in You

January 20th, 2010

Who wants to blend in with the crowd?  Be sure that you’ll get noticed at the next costume party you crash with an unexpected costume that pays tribute to your inner child.

Think of the crowd at the party.  What are some common, instantly recognizable childhood memories?  Try some famous TV character costumes – the Beaver is cute and easy, as is retro Batman or Robin (think Adam West, not George Clooney).

If the attendees are more like 30-something, take your pick of the original Beverly Hills 90210 cast.  Dylan’s hair is still sexy, although his scowl may be hard to keep up all night.  Try dressing as Brenda with a Dylan sidekick, or Kelly with a squeaky clean Brandon nipping at your heels.

Heat Things up with the Right Sexy Costume

January 19th, 2010

There was a time when costumes were something for kids, and only for Halloween, but now adults wear them as well, and often times they want to dress in something sexy and alluring.

For women, almost any subject can lend itself to a sexy costume. They can get a fire fighter, a police officer, even Little Red Riding Hood or Goldilocks. Of course, some costumes naturally lend themselves to the sexy genre: a vampire, a nurse, a schoolgirl uniform, a serving wench, French maid, Playboy Bunny and countless others. The keys to this are often quite simple: tight clothes, short skirts or pants, plunging necklines and showing lots of skin.

Santa Fusion

December 12th, 2009

NBC New York reports that the global phenomenon that is Santacon is descending upon New York City, and other locations, today – Saturday December12th. 

Since anyone and everyone is welcome to join in the mayhem, NBC was kind enough to remind all potential Santaconners of the three basic rules of all Santacon events. The first and most important of which, and the only one I’m going to talk about,  . . .

December is here and NORAD is gearing up to track Santa as he makes his annual trip around the world. You can visit this bi-national military organization’s website and watch them track Santa . . . . or . . . . you can just keep your eyes open and I’ll bet you spot him all over the place this month. Santa is a busy guy this time of year, but not in the way you might think.

Spiderman Arrested

November 13th, 2009

I 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?
