Gatsby Girl
How To Make a Halloween Costume
When October 31st rolls around, it seems that all the girls are prancing around in scantily-clad sexy nurse fancy dress costumes and all the guys are wandering aimlessly, staring at eye-candy, while wearing their last-minute, thrown-together garb. How many guys have you seen dressed up as a beer keg or women wearing Halloween costumes portraying nurses, police officers or Playboy bunnies? We can do better than this. Whether you’re prepared to make your own ensemble, seek out a movie character or find a group theme, there is an original costume for you.
While the grown up girls will prefer to buy a sexy sailor fancy dress costume, some of the cleverest childrens costumes are the ones parents devise and make themselves. For instance, some kids paint themselves all black and dress in black (with red or blue colored sleeves and iPod accessories), while carrying matching backdrops, to go as the classic iPod ad! Other kids dress up as the “Koolaid” man and have two friends dress as pieces of the wall he was busting through. You can dress as a “Holy Cow,” as the late gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson or as one of the “Royal Tenenbaums” in a red cord track jacket, sweatband, faux fur and eyeliner. You can go as “Nick Nolte’s Mug Shot” by wearing a Hawaiian shirt and messing up your hair, or you may want to use that Hawaiian garb to go with your moustache and sunglasses, as in “Weekend at Bernies.” Imagine the laughter at the costume party when you arrive as a lawn gnome, pine tree air freshener or paper doll!
At www.zoogstercostumes.com, you will find a number of clever adult costumes, plus-size costumes and kids costumes to peruse. Adult movie Halloween costumes for women include Super Woman, Sandy from “Grease,” Trinity from “The Matrix,” Uma Thurman from “Kill Bill,” Princess Leia, a geisha, a 5th avenue girl, or get Marilyn Monroe’s famous white dress for just $25!. Men can choose a costume design from Edward Scissorhands, 300, Willy Wonka, Pirates of the Caribbean, Predator, Ghost Rider or the Monty Python Black Knight. Additionally, there are a number of excellent time period costumes. You can be a 1920s flapper, Gatsby girl, Bugsy Malone or zoot suit dancer. You can be a 1950s greaser, rocker lady, car hop, pinup girl, jitter bug dancer, cigarette girl, prom king, bowler, Buddy Holly, beatnik or Elvis. You can choose a number of 1960s characters, including Gilligan, The Beatles, Woodstock hippies, Janis Joplin or a go-go girl. From the 1970s, you can get ready to disco dance, whereas the 1980s bring old school rappers, nerds, heavy metal rockers and pop stars. It should also be noted that most of these costumes go for far less than $100!
If you’re making Halloween costumes this year, then be sure to start in advance. Make a list of items you’ll need and reference with your closet. Then it’s shopping time. Hit the thrift store first for old cheesy suits, out-of-date styles and uniforms, the army surplus store second for jumpsuits or military accessories, the dollar store third for odds and ends accessories, the fabric store fourth for sewing fabrics, velcro or felt and the Halloween costume store for wigs, make-up and hard-to-procure items last. Generally, the time and effort it takes to make your own costume design will pay off greatly because no one at the party will look just like you!
