Me and my friends will find any reason to throw a party, so we decided to spice things up a bit this time. We’re having a summer barbeque couples costume party! You don’t necessarily have to be dating or married to the person you pair up with but the idea is that you have to match someone else. We also decided that 4 people can dress together as well, as long as it is divisible by two. Since it’s my friends party he’s going to dress up as The Bun Maker Costume and his wife is going to be the Bun in the Oven Costume. My friends Lucy and Nick are going as The Brick House Costume and The Brick Layer Costume, which mocks the Rick James song “Brick House”, I thought it was a really cute idea. I’m dressing up in a Peach Princess Toadstool Costume from the Nintendo Games and my boyfriend is dressing up in a Mario Costume from the Super Mario Brothers. This is going to be such an awesome party!

I just saw the last of the Shrek trilogy and I have to say, all three of those movies were made very well, ESPECIALLY the first one. People look so funny in his costumes like the Shrek Adult Costume, Deluxe Shrek Adult, and the Super Deluxe Shrek Adult. All of these costumes look so comfortable yet exactly like the character. It’s also a good costume if your a little bigger and need a costume with extra room. The Shrek costume isn’t the only nice set-up from the movie but also the Deluxe Fiona Adult, Fiona Adult, and the Fiona Wig with Tiara and Ears. You also can’t forget the other main characters in the movie like Donkey Child Costume which goes great with the Donkey Ears and Teeth, the Shrek Puss In Boots Infant/Newborn and of course the Shrek Donkey Infant. This would be a great idea for a group family costume theme!

This year my 21^st birthday is coming up and I have so many ideas of what I want to do! I’m a sucker for theme parties so I have been contemplating on which type would be perfect for me. One idea that has been surfacing in my head is a 70’s roller disco party. I want to rent out a skating rink and invite people to come dressed in costumes like the Sexy Retro Groove Print Dress Adult, the Disco Fever Adult, the Sexy Vintage Flower Adult, the Huge Black Afro or the Big Daddy Pimp Adult. I want to wear something like the Foxxy Cleopatra Adult costume with the matching Foxxy Cleopatra Wig. It would be a lot of fun to skate around with your friends to old disco and funk tunes!

I know its still winter time, but I have been trying to plan a great Midsummer’s Night Dream for (duh) this summer. If you have ever read the Shakespearen play or seen the beautiful movie, you know why this type of party has to be scheduled during the summer. It is a sensual movie about four complicated people that get caught up in the fairy kings feud and tricked with a magical potion to fall in love with the first person they see. After a few mistakes, the people begin to see the person that they truly love. This story includes fantasy, mystery and most of all the quest for love. All these elements make for a very beautiful and sensual summer party.

The theme for this party definitly calls for fairy costumes! Some costumes that would be perfect for this is the Blossom Fairy, Autumn Nymph Adult, Deluxe Woodland Faerie Adult, Foliage Fairy Green Adult , Midnight Fairy Teen, Mother Nature Adult Plus Size, Sexy Green Fairy Adult, Sexy Ice Pixie Fairy Adult, the Tinkerspell Womens and many more. All these costume fit this theme perfectly. It is not only the fairy costumes that fit this party but also fantastical animal costumes such as the Big Mad Wolf Adult, Dobby Overhead Mask Adult, Frog Prince Adult, Super Sexy Queen Bee Adult, and the Sexy Cowardly Lion Adult. This story is all about fantasy so any type of fantasy-based costume or 1600 era costume would work like the Swamp Queen Adult, Braiden Maiden Burgundy, Lady in Waiting Renaissance Adult and the Sexy Wolf Woman Adult.

If you’re looking for an event to hang out with your friends in a relaxed, beautiful setting and have loavable time, this is a party for you.

During Halloween of 2007, there were several costumes for boys that were in such high demand they sold out almost immediately after they were put on the market, and were extremely hard to find after that. Of course the Transformer Optimus Prime costume for boys sold out the fastest, since the movie was such a huge success. Another popular costume that was in huge demand was the High School Musical Troy costume, also because of the success of the movie it was tied to. For three years in a row the Jack Sparrow Pirates of the Carribean costume has been the favorite of many costume buyers and pirate lovers as the sequals keep coming. And it wouldn’t be Halloween for boys without the ever popular Star Wars costumes like the Jango Fett Deluxe child Costume and the Darth Vader Deluxe child costume that seels out every year as the newer models come out with more to offer. The Light Saber from Star Wars is probably the one accessory that we plan on selling out every year, as boys love to battle with them and pretend to be in the movie with their Jedi Robe child costume as well. Another very new popular costume for boys this year is not just ones based on movies but on TV shows. The Naruto Child Costume sold out so quickly this years, I wasn’t even sure we carried it. Of course the Deluxe Black Suited Spiderman child costume was a huge hit this year, as the new movie for that came out this year as well. It’s so interesting how the movie producers have discovered alternate ways for making profits from their films, it shows how much the movie business is not just about the movies, but always about business.

Costume kingdom is having one of the biggest sales of the year right now and everyone should be taking advantage of it! Honestly, some of the costumes that were $100 are now like $65. You can just browse through the site and find some very interesting items that you could use year round. For example, you may have a young child who is going to have a birthday party soon or later in the year and they will absolutely want a costume for it. Why not purchase the costume now and save loads of money? If you have a daughter who wants the perfect costume for her party, you may consider one of the Disney princess costumes like the Belle Deluxe Child, the Cinderella Deluxe Child, the Ariel Deluxe Child or the lovely Aurora Child. Not all little girls are into the princess dynamic so she also might want something like the Scar-Let Pirate Deluxe, the Very Bat Girl Child or possibly the Deluxe Wonder Woman Child. Whatever she may want to wear, we definitely have!Now if you have a son, he will probably want some of the most popular action-hero characters out now. He may be interested in the famous Black Suited Spiderman Child, the outrageous Optimus Prime Deluxe Child or the upcoming and soon to be very popular Child Iron Man Quality Muscle. If your little boy is not into the superhero theme, he may like the Harry Potter Robe Child, the Captain Jack Sparrow Child or if they are into anime the popular Naruto Child Costume.Every parent knows their kids won’t be happy till they get the perfect costume for their party and planning ahead for the year has never looked this cheap.

I was scrolling through some of the costumes on our site and I began to realize that the key influential factor of the most popular Halloween costumes is movies. I am sure we have all realized this at some point but it just occurred to me how manipulating film exposure really is to our society. Let’s take Spiderman for example. Before the film version of the Spiderman comic came out, the actual costumes of Spiderman were pretty scarce. This past Halloween, since the movie has been released for 5 years, we sell approximately 30 different types of Spiderman costumes; the Spiderman Adult Costume, Deluxe Spiderman Child, and the Spiderman Deluxe Muscle Teen/Adult are just some of them. As Spiderman 3 came out, we became even more equipped with the Black Suited Spiderman Deluxe Teen/Adult, Black-Suited Spiderman Child, and the Venom Muscle Teen/Adult. It is very interesting to think why we want to take on the persona of these characters. Is it that we want to see what it’s like to be behind the Spiderman mask or do we just want to represent the movie that put us on the edge of our seats?

Another very, very influential blockbuster this year was the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. If I think back to all the Halloween parades and trick-or-treating I used to be involved with when I was a child, I do remember a good amount of pirate costumes. But when this movie came out in 2003, thousands of people feel in love with the specific unique characters (especially the dashing Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow). Costume Kingdom quickly responded to people’s costume wish list for Pirates of the Caribbean costumes with the Captain Jack Sparrow Prestige Adult, Elizabeth Pirate Deluxe Adult, Davey Jones Deluxe Latex Mask Adult and even more detailed-oriented with the  Captain Jack Sparrow Accessory Kit. It even inspired the trend to have numerous different styles of pirate costumes like the 5 PC Sexy Pirate Captain, Deluxe Pirate Ghost Adult, and the Pirate Eye Patch with Heart. We offer over 200 pirate related costumes in our store alone!

To me, it completely makes sense why people want to wear these costumes that our favorite movies present. We may feel like we are actually that character from the film and experience what it would be like to play that role. We also may just want to look as devenir or cunning as the film itself made that character appear to us. The reasoning behind people dressing as their favorite movie roles is not a specific one, but it definitely shows us how subconsciously we empathize and personally connect with these characters. An extraordinarily well job done by the film crew!

When I was younger, I always got so excited after Halloween because that meant Thanksgiving and Christmas were on their way. My mother used to have decorating assignments for me to do for the house; spray the ornaments with glitter, sew the stockings, place the lights on the roof, etc. It was just always so much fun for me to do all these activities because I got to do them with my family, especially my mom. But as time went by, our traditional decorating of the house began to deteriorate. My mom started working, I began taking A.P. classes and also I got a job. First, the lights ceased to be put up, then the ornaments started to fall apart and the stockings seemed to be too much of a clutter in front of the fireplace. Even today our work ethic for our own house seems to have disappeared when it comes to the holiday spirit.  I think it is time for my mother and I to get back on track this Thanksgiving and Christmas season and go out of our way to make it a special one. Maybe someone can dress up in a Turkey Adult Costume this thanksgiving to set the mood. Possibly, we can get an Elf Adult costume and prance around exclaiming it’s Christmas to everyone. Even more possible, but not likely, either one of us can join a religious play in Mary Adult costume in the theme of Christmas just for kicks. Are these ideas ridiculous and absurd? Yes, but there’s nothing wrong with coming up with fun ideas of what you can do with your family this holiday season!

  Well halloween is over and the holidays are about to go into over time.  I thought it would be fun for christmas to dress up this year for a fun christmas party.  My husband always plays santa, and  I want a part of it this year.  I saw a cute elf costume it was a Deluxe Jovi Girl Elf Adult and it  Includes a hat, velvet dress, belt and shoe covers. This costume comes in one size only. Then I thought my friend could be the Buddy Elf Adult.  Includes a jacket, hat,tights and belt. Comes in Standard and XL sizes for Male Adults.  But I really need some of those EZ Alien Ear Tips to make the costume complete.  Yeah thats it, I can’t wait for the party.  This will be the best 1 yet!

The first time I saw Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare before Christmas” 14 years ago, I was so amazed! In the 90’s everyone was expecting fantasy films to be done in a cartoon style or represented by real actors. Tim Burton took the film world to another level with using stop animation to bring his fantastical spooky world to life through Claymation.

The story is about a bored skeleton, Jack Skellington, who rules a magical themed land called Halloweentown. He stumbles upon a magic portal that gains him access to Christmastown, which for once, excites him. Being the ruler that he is, he decides to take over Santa’s job and convert the Halloweentownians into Christmas lovers. His shy love interest Sally knows this idea is trouble from the start and attempts to save him before things get out-of-hand. Through various musical sequences the characters display their dreams, fears and down right hilarious opinons of the world around them.

They have re-released this film in theatres but added the wonderful feature of making it in 3D. I have not had the chance to see it yet but I heard it was amazing. Another thing that’s great is you could get items like the Nightmare Before Christmas Door Wreath and the Nightmare Before Christmas Door Mat and use them for Halloween AND Christmas. The versitality of these objects is great for lazy people like me!
