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!

I had been hearing a lot about this musical called High School Musical by Disney ever since it came out which I think was like 2 years ago. I always think that the made for T.V. movies aren’t going to be as good as the other movies that come out in theatres. Well, I was at the video store that other day and decided to just rent it to see what all the buzz was about. To be really honest, I thought it was a really well made movie for kids. They had such unique characters like the High School Musical Gabriella girl who was a cute actress (but kind of sang like Minnie Mouse). She really was dorbale though. There was also the “bad” girl, High School Musical Sharpay, who I absolutely thought sang better than the Gabriella character. The main star, High School Musical Troy was such a great singer and an incredible dancer. When he was doing the basketball scene in the High School Musical Troy Championship Game costume, I was blown away by the choreography. All the props were also so cool which are all seen in the Girls Yearbook Dress-Up Kit and the High School Musical Yearbook Kit. We even sell the High School Musical Cheerleader costume which also contributed so much to the story. I really recommend this movie to whoever wants to be wowed by new, young talented performers.

Finding mens costumes for my 1920’s setting was not going to be easy or cheap. But thanks to Costume Kingdom I was able to pull it off and stay within my budget. The costume that I purchased the most of was the Black and White Zoot Suit Costume for Adults. Some of the men were heavier than others so thank goodness I was also able to buy the Plus Size Zoot Suit Costume that was also black and white. Since I did like the style of this Zoot Suit I also got the Yellow and Black Zoot Suit for Adults and of course the Plus Size Gold and Black Zoot Suit Costume. I bought about a doze of the Costume Polka Dot Tie accessory to go with all of the costumes. Another costume that I found that worked perfectly was the White Pinstripe Zoot Suit Costume that came with a hat and went perfectly with any of the girl costumes to match. I also bought the Turquoise Pinstripe Zoot Suite Costume just because I thought it would really make my main characters really stand out in their scenes. It also came with a snazzy hat and suspenders! Hopefully my film will be able to go to Sundance this  year!

I’m a seinor film student making a film that takes place in the 1920’s. When  you don’t have a high budget you have to be creative when making decisions about setting and wardrobe. I was so pleased to find that costume kingdom had such reasonable prices for their 1920’s Costumes! I found this gorgeous Black and Gold Jazz Time Honey Flapper Dress Costume for my leading female role and when I added the Super Model Short Black Bob Wig it was perfect. I ended up purchasing the Burgandy Gatsby Girl Flapper Plus Size Costume as well for the other leading female role who was a bit larger in size than the other girl. For the other women in my film who were going to set the background 1920’s stage I purchased the Sexy Puttin on the Ritz 1920’s Costume, the Chicago Flapper Adult Costume, and the Gatsby Girl Black Flapper Costume. I had a short sexy dance scene in the film and I had a hard time deciding between the Millie the Flapper Adult Costume and the Sexy Flapper Adult Costume. I decided to just go with both because whichever one that I didn’t use I would just have one of the background girls wear it instead to keep the 1920’s feel. I also ended up buying about a dozen of the Flapper Girl Garter Belt and half a dozen purses that were the Longer Shimmer Black Flapper Bag and the short Flapper Hand Purse. I also bought a dozen of  Flapper Bead Necklace and half a dozen of the Black Flapper Cloche Hat. I saved the best flapper purse for my leading role, it was the Shoulder Black Flapper Fringe Purse that had an adorable white flower on it. All of my women looked fabulous in the film. Stay tuned to see what I dressed the men in!

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.

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.

So I’ve been frequently browsing the photo entries on the Costume Kingdom Gallery and I have seen some really great costumes that I think deserve some recognition. Within the Classic costume category, I saw a picture of a woman in a Deluxe Classic Marilyn Monroe costume painted completely bright pink with a man dressed exactly like Andy Warhol. It was a perfect depiction of the famous painting of Marilyn  Monroe that Andy Warhol created in 1967. Check out the creative Marilyn Monroe/Andy Warhol picture from the Classic section.

 Within the Funny section, I thought the portrayl of Britney Spears took the cake. It is a man in a Blonde Sorceress Witch Wig who has on the exact outfit she wore during the VMAs performance, two duct taped babies and a big bag of cheetos. Look at this Britney photo, I think it is hilarious!

Lastly, if you look in the Pet section, you will see the CUTEST picture of a kitten in a costume ever! It is a Scottish Fold kitten looking precious in a miniature Faire Princess costume dress and what looks like a Barbie Princess Tiara. With the adorable name of Bridgett she will honestly steal your heart in her Bridget the Princess photo.

These picture selections are only based on my personal choice of who I think deserves the win. The actual winners will be picked through the democratic voting of visiters to the site, which I truly believe is very fair. Good luck contestants!

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!
