Customer Review: cool costume
i've always wanted to dress up as leia and clubs are always packed during halloween, so the less clothes the less heat you feel. i ordered the XS. i'm 5'2 and have a tiny frame, a 32 bust and 30' around the hips which is where i wear the skirt.the skirt comes right to the floor, the waist fits fine, the shorts are a bit long but with a bit of rouching they fit fine. the skirt covers more in the front part than what is shown in the picture, if you want it to look as the pic, you can always pin it. the top ties behind the neck and has velcro around the back part. the "metal" details of the costume are made of rubber and the smell is quite strong. the details on the bra top are a bit different than the picture, and there's a part that sort of sticks out, i'm gonna have to cut it and glue it so it looks more like a snake. also the circles on the waist are a bit loose and they might also need a trim so they don't stick out. the bracelet and chocker are also made of rubber, they tie with velcro, the chain is not included. the hair pieces are 2 pieces of rubber that are stitched to hair pins, and they fit fine although they might stick a bit from the head you can always pin them down. the colors are a bit off in the picture. the skirt is actually a much deeper shade of red, sort of burgundy. the bra top is dark gray and the "metals" are more on the copper side than gold. the costume is wonderful, very little work needs to be done in order to make it perfect. overall i'm really happy with it :)

Infant Fairytale Dragon Baby Halloween Costume (6-18 Months)

Customer Review: Impossible to put on
The costume is cute, but there's an opening the size of an adult's head at the top that is the only opening on the entire suit. There is no way that any baby would fit through it! We had to unsew the entire back and sew on velcro tabs to reclose it once the baby was inside. Totally impractical!!!

I ordered this for a friend who specifically chose it because it appeared that the tail curled up. It did not. It was just fabric and hung straight. Quality of the costume was not so great over all. It was returned. Beware all the fine print about restocking fees!
Customer Review: Great Costume
Received right on time. Great quality, and condition. The footies were a little too small to fit over shoes.

Men's Drag Queen Play Boy Bunny Halloween Costume

At the center of the Christmas season is spending time with family. Making lasting memories with your family is at the top of every to-do list during the holiday season. There are many festive activities to bring into your family life so Christmas is more memorable and fun for everyone. Traditional activities and out of the box ideas make the holidays super-special.

Christmas Memories and Traditions

Take a few minutes to remember your own childhood and how you spent the Christmas season at home. Do certain memories stand out as special in your mind? These are probably the Christmas traditions your own parents created for the family. Now it's time to create memorable Christmas traditions in your own home. Make gingerbread houses together. Decorate holiday cookies. Are you short on time but still recall the delicious smell in your mom's kitchen at Christmas time? Simmer potpourri to create a warm aroma in your home even if you don't have time to bake very often.

Christmas Fun In The Kitchen

Maybe baking just isn't your thing. There are still plenty of fun Christmas activities to do in the kitchen. You can make all kinds of gift items in the kitchen without baking. Make chocolate covered pretzel sticks and chocolates. Pair the chocolate treats with homemade hot cocoa mix to give as Christmas gifts.

Christmas Music

Include music in your family holiday traditions. Have fun with your family singing Christmas carols and making your own CD for the holidays. Use the recording of your family singing carols as holiday music every year while you decorate and enjoy Christmas festivities. Get really crafty and dress up the CD cases to look attractive so you can give them as gifts.

Cutting Down The Christmas Tree

A timeless tradition for many families is cutting down the Christmas tree. This activity adds a lot to the Christmas season at home. You can find Christmas tree farms just about everywhere. Ask a local grower's group for tree farm locations near you. The family shows up at the farm where mom or dad grab a saw to cut down the family Christmas tree. Everyone hunts for the perfect tree so mom or dad can cut it down and bring it home. Some farms are large and some are small. You may only need to walk a short distance to find the perfect tree or you may wind up hiking up and down hills before the right tree turns up.

More Than A Christmas Tree

Add dimension and fun to the Christmas tree cutting activity. Include additional family traditions in the day, such as lunch at a special place every year. You can also get Christmas candy to eat in the car on the way home with your tree. Another tradition can be shopping together for new ornaments after you bring the tree home and put it in a bucket of water.

Community Christmas Fun

Traditions are also created when you participate in annual community events. Does your town decorate a Christmas tree every year? Does your neighborhood have a block where all the homes are decorated with hundreds of holiday lights? Drive or walk to local Christmas festivities and make them part of your family traditions every year. Try to walk if the weather permits so you have more time to observe the detailed holiday decorations together.

Christmas Cocoa

For kids and adults alike, hot cocoa is an essential part of the holiday season. Start a family tradition of making hot cocoa mix at the beginning of the season. The children can each have a small cup of cocoa every night before bed during the month of December. As Christmas Day gets closer, add special goodies to the hot cocoa such as whipped cream and mini-marshmallows. Leave a cup of homemade hot cocoa for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.

Christmas In Every Room

As your children get older, they enjoy decorating their rooms for Christmas. Add holiday cheer to every room when you encourage your children to decorate their own space. Let them do all the decorating themselves then take photos of them in their finished rooms. Look at the photos every year to see how the Christmas decorations in their rooms have progressed.

One last thing -- Imagine the look on your child's face if they received a personalized letter from Santa Claus in the North Pole. You can also include extra goodies with the Santa letter like Reindeer food. It's a gift that makes a strong and lasting impression.

Adult Beaver Halloween Costume

According to Christian religious belief, three days after Jesus Christ was crucified, he was resurrected. Easter (which is also known as "Resurrection Day" or "Pasha") is the Christian holiday and festival, perhaps the most important feast of the Christian liturgical year, which marks these events. The word "Easter" is used both to refer to the specific holy day and to the season of the church year which includes Easter day itself.

The date of Easter does vary each year, and the calculation of its date has been an issue of some controversy among Christians, at various times in history. The reason that the date moves is that Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover - the Last Supper is generally regarded as having been a Passover meal - and of course date of Passover is determined using the Jewish lunar calendar. The usual formula that is used to calculate the date of Easter has been described as placing Easter on the first Sunday after the first full moon of the vernal equinbox - but even this is a simplification. Furthermore, since Eastern and Western Christian use different calendars (Julian and Gregorian respectively), even today there is no universal agreement on the date of Easter.

Although Easter has its roots in Christianity, today it is also a secular celebration. Most Western countries provide public holidays around Easter, and these holidays provide a excellent opportunity to spend times with friends and family. Children of course enjoy Easter eggs at this time, as well as chocolate, candies and sweets of all times. The holiday also provides the opportunity for Christian children to learn more about their faith, and for children of all faiths (and no faith) to learn about the history of Easter.

An activity that you may wish to consider for the occasion is Easter bingo. Bingo is in general suitable for marking most holidays (not just Easter), because the game is easy to learn, a lot of fun and is open to people of all ages to play. Some older people can of course enjoy the game as just a bit of fun - but kids can actually learn quite a bit while playing.

In order to play you will need some bingo cards printed with words or phrases relating to Easter instead of the traditional numbered bingo cards. In the old days, you would probably have had to send off to a specialist publisher to get these custom bingo cards - but today it's much easier and cheaper - you can simply print bingo cards from your computer. With suitable bingo card maker software, you can easily print as many bingo cards as you wish, on any topic or theme.

If you are going on a cruise as part of your summer vacation then it is no doubt a really exciting time for you. It is a once in a lifetime experience and you get to visit many holiday locations on the way. However, there is one thing that many people forget to take into account when it comes to cruises and that is their health.

Protecting Your Health on the Ship

Whilst you may not have thought about it already, it is vital that you look after your health on the cruise ship. This is because not all ships have a doctor on board. So if something was to happen and you did not have the right first aid, you could end up in a spot of trouble.

One reason why a cruise ship may not always be so healthy is because there are hundreds of people on board. The corridors can be quite narrow and so people are often packed into small spaces. This means that your health is constantly under threat. If one person had a cold on the ship then it is entirely possible that they could pass it on to a large number of people around them if they are not overly careful.

In order to protect your health on board the ship there are a number of things that you should do. Firstly you should have your own health checked before you get on board the ship. You need to know that you are healthy and safe to travel and your doctor will also be able to tell you what precautions they recommend that you take. You may have to have some vaccinations depending upon where you are going too so a trip to the doctor is definitely advised.

If you are currently taking any medications then obviously you are going to need enough for the length of the cruise. This may mean that you have to ask your doctor for a larger supply if needed. If you ran out of medication then your health would obviously be at stake and so you should always ensure that you have enough to last you.

Generally cruise ships are quite relaxing and you may find that you just want to lay back and relax and kick off your shoes. However before you do that you should keep in mind that germs are quickly spread on a cruise ship and how many people have also walked around without any shoes on? So ideally you should never take your shoes off and wander around. This is true if you're sailing from Alaska or costa blanca.

Overall excursions on cruise ships can be fun but you should always be aware of your health whilst you are there. All cruise ship vacations should be relaxing though so don't worry yourself too much about it!

Being especially interested in where is the costa blanca?, Greg Hansward published different articles in the area. With his publications on costa blanca tourist knowledge and costa blanca attractions the reviewer expressed his depth of understanding in the field.

Fruity Licious Pumpkin Spice Adult

Includes dress in Pumpkin orange with built in wire hoop at bottom, white boot tops and the fabulous Pumpkin style wig. One size Adult Standard (up to size 8-12). White fishnet pantyhose and gloves not included.
Customer Review: If you're an adult, please don't bother.
This costume runs way to short, literally, it fits more like a hideous shirt than a dress, and the wig is way too small. It looks cute in the image, but in reality, not so much.

People know that the American Independence on the Fourth of July was brought about by an intricate piece of paperwork named the declaration. Yet, it is not just some piece of ordinary paper like a typical school essay for that matter. Rather it is an emblem that represents the country's firm commitment to its views on freedom and liberation. It showed that certain people stood up proud and strong claiming what they believe was right.

As a symbol, it serves as a representation of something a lot bigger. The signatories of the declaration wanted to have a document that will elaborate to all American citizens the much needed values and ideals that the country needs. They wanted everyone to know that this declaration was a result of the cumulative efforts of a certain number of dedicated and brave individuals. This was a summary and at the same time an emblem of all ideas that the people back in 1776 had fought so hard that they even placed their lives for the sake of the country. It was an unbelievable and almost impossible task to make something like this during their time because it was an act of rebellion and is a ground for treason by the leaders of the British Monarchy. It was actually a crime to take part in the signing and it was plainly shear courage and motivation that kept them moving. Thus, every time you look at the Fourth of July Declaration of Independence, you should first imagine all the hardships and all the sweat and blood that made the making of this document possible. Both the leaders and the people are expected to see this "paper" as a sign of the objectives and as a testimony of the responsibility that each citizen has to achieve the goals that are needed to be addressed up to this day.

Clone Trooper Leader Rex Child Costume

Includes: Printed jumpsuit, belt and mask. Toy weapon not included. This is an officially licensed Star Wars costume.
Customer Review: Helmet is a nose-smasher
The costume is cute but the product photo is misleading and the helmet just doesn't work at all. The eye slot is too high relative to the nose air holes, but worst of all, the helmet is flat-fronted so the poor kid's nose has to be smashed the whole time! It probably could be jerry-rigged to work if you put pads at the place where the kids cheeks are so as to push out the helmet, but since the eye slot is too high anyway, it's not worth it. In order to see, the helmet has to be pushed down, so the kid's hair is clearly seen, which was not what the photo leads you to imagine. Finally, size 8-10 is right for a 7-8-year-old.

Kids look forward to holidays and Easter is always a kid favorite. The Easter bunny, chocolates, an Easter egg hunt, and coloring eggs are all fun activities children anticipate well in advance. If you are interested in planning an Easter party for kids you can do so with minimal effort and for a low cost if you are well organized and planned. The following tips will help you plan an outstanding Easter party for kids that will be enjoyed by kids and adults.

First, you need to decide what you want to do. An Easter egg hunt is a definite, but you need to make some decisions about this. Will you be inviting children of a similar age or will there be a wide age range? The reason this is important is because you want everyone to have a chance to find some eggs. If there are lots of big kids and little kids all mixed together then the little kids won't find any eggs, or not many, and then they will feel sad and won't enjoy the party. So, if you have kids that are close in age at the party then one Easter egg hunt will suffice. But, if you are going to have a wide range of ages then you will need to plan an Easter egg hunt for both groups.

Another thing to keep in mind is where you will have the hunt and what will you place in the eggs. Chocolates, especially dark chocolates, are great suggestions to place inside the plastic eggs. Money, jelly beans, and even small toys are also great suggestions. Some people like to use real boiled eggs for their Easter egg hunt. This is completely up to you and what is easiest should be chosen.

If you do decide to use real eggs then you might want to have an egg coloring contest before. That way the kids could really enjoy decorating the eggs and once decorated they could be hidden for the Easter egg hunt. That would be a lot of fun for the kids to hunt for the eggs they already decorated!

Beyond including an Easter egg hunt and possibly an egg coloring contest you should have refreshments. It is really easy to make a cake that looks like a bunny, or if you aren't that creative you could just buy one already made. A bunny cake is the centerpiece and then you could just offer chips, Easter candy and some punch or other drinks.

Remember as well that if you invite many children to the event you will need chaperones, especially if you are having an egg hunt and kids are roaming around. Ask a couple of parents to stay or invite kids with their parents so everyone can enjoy the party and you don't have the responsibility of that many kids on your hands.

Whose life are you going to touch this holiday season? What are some of the ways you could help? Who would you help if you could? How can you make a difference? Youre only one person, you say.

Create a memorable walkway. Trick or treaters will be coming up and down your walkway all night on Halloween. So you'll want to do something special for Halloween to decorate. An inexpensive way to decorate is with paper bag lumineres. You can make these with paper lunch bags, small rocks and tea lights. Cut small images in each paper bag -- like a pumpkin or a witch hat. Then add some rocks to the bottom of each luminere as it lines your walkway. Add a tea light and light it. The lumineres will glow softly and people will see the images that you cut out.

Add a Halloween-themed wreath to the door. Your door should have a Halloween-themed wreath to greet everyone that comes to your door. A fun Halloween-themed wreath to make is to use silk roses to create a wreath and then spray them to be colored black or even silver. A wreath that is a unique color will get lots of attention. A black wreath is especially attention getting for Halloween.

Don't forget Jack (O'Lanterns)! Now what would Halloween be without Jack O'Lanterns? Every home should have Jack O'Lanterns in front of their doorstep. But you want your home to look original. An easy way to get an original look is to do a Jack O'Lantern for each family member in a very simple carving style. Cut two holes for the eyes and a hole for the mouth. These bold, expressive Jack O'Lanterns will be the envy of the neighborhood and everyone will notice just how great your porch looks.

Set the scene with spooky music. Every home should welcome their Halloween guests with spooky -- or Halloween themed --- music. You can easily find soundtracks at party centers or large discount stores. Set up your CD player right by the door, or put a speaker in your mailbox. Another option is to open a second floor window and pipe the music through that. Be sure to be considerate of your neighbors and turn the music off before 9:30 p.m. as many will be putting kids to bed or turning in themselves.

Greet your guests dressed in Halloween style. Get into the total Halloween spirit with a Halloween costume that suits your home's decor. If your home is extra spooky, then you should be dressed in something spooky. If your home is quaint and cute -- then you too should be dressed in something quaint and cute. Party rental stores are great places to find adult costumes perfect to get for Halloween. Or you can easily purchase a Halloween costume to wear for this special night. Online resources such as http://www.pumpkinkits.com offer many ideas and this will give you the perfect looking home that the whole neighborhood will be talking about all season long!

Men's Butler Costume by Coquette

Taking a great photo for the family photo Christmas card looks like it should be easy. But as any parent who has attempted this holiday ritual can tell you, it's not as simple as it looks. What you want is a unique, beautiful photo Christmas card. And what you usually get is fidgety, uncooperative kids that blink just as you're taking the picture. But don't give up and throw in the Santa hat just yet. Here are 6 easy, smart solutions to those top challenges.

Challenge 1: You want a festive holiday background for your family photo Christmas cards, but don't want to decorate your house with strands of lights and tinsel in November.

Solution: Use the Mall. Department stores and shopping malls are decorating for the season earlier and earlier, many times right after Halloween. These holiday backdrops are perfect for family photo Christmas cards. Gather the kids in front of the twinkling lights and a few camera clicks later, you'll have a great shot.

Challenge 2: Your toddlers won't sit still long enough to take the photo.

Solution: Bring in the props. Get out the oversized teddy bear or other toy that fascinates them. Try posing them with the dog or cat. Give them something simple to do, like ring a Christmas bell or kiss their sister on the cheek. Use trial and error until you find the item or activity that interests them long enough for you to take a few pictures.

Challenge 3: Your teenage kids don't feel like posing for a family photo.

Solution: Don't make them pose. Instead, make action the focal point of your photo Christmas cards, highlighting things that your teenagers love to do. Take photos of them showing off their abilities. Whether they are in the swimming pool, a canoe, sinking a basketball, riding a horse, baking holiday cookies, playing with the dog, or enjoying another activity, your holiday cards will offer a glimpse into your family's interests and personality.

Challenge 4: You'd like to send photo Christmas cards that are witty and fun, just like your family.

Solution: Create your own holiday story picture, by setting up a scene. Here's some ideas. The kids can discover Mommy kissing Santa Claus (Daddy in disguise). Put the young kids in a bubble bath with Santa hats and bubble beards. Capture a snapshot of each family member grabbing a slice of pizza with the message "pizza on earth". Photograph an empty plate of cookies and finished glass of milk in front of "guilty" looking kids with the caption "sorry Santa!"

Those after Halloween costume sales can come in handy when trying to set up a whimsical photo. How about posing your little angels with angel wings you picked up at discount? Other possibilities could be your kids dressed as cats (Meowy Christmas), super heroes (have a super Christmas), a baby in a pea-pod costume ("peas on earth") or a lion and a lamb costume for two children.

Challenge 5: You'd like a beautiful photo Christmas card that doesn't look like the same, tired, group family photo you send out every year.

Solution: Change the location of your photo shoot. If you're within driving distance to a beach, there are a lot of unique photo opportunities. Pose the kids on a sleigh on a sand dune. Write Merry Christmas on the sand, and have everyone sit behind the inscription. Build a sand snowman with a straw hat, sunglasses, and seashell nose.

Autumn provides a lot of great possibilities for photo Christmas cards. Try taking photos of the kids playing in a pile of leaves, in a pumpkin patch or on a hay ride. Make lovely scenery your backdrop and it can create atmosphere that elevates your photo Christmas card to a new level.

Challenge 6: When you struggle to take a family group photo, someone always blinks their eyes, turns their head or doesn't smile. It seems nearly impossible to get one perfect shot where everyone looks good.

Solution: Choose a card company that offers photo Christmas card designs that contain multiple photos of your family. The latest trend in holiday photo cards is to include several of your photos on one card in a unique, holiday layout. This has become popular because it is much easier to take great, individual photos of your family members than one acceptable group picture.

Whatever particular challenge you face when composing your photo Christmas cards, there is an easy solution. Try these creative approaches and soon you'll be hearing from your friends, relatives, coworkers and neighbors how much they loved this year's family holiday photo card.

Queen of Broken Hearts Elite Collection Adult Costume

Costume includes a mini-dress with stand-up collar and attached broken heart panels; puff sleevelettes; petticoat; wide-mesh fishnet stockings; jeweled choker; and a broken heart crown.

Organizing a Halloween party for kids can be both extremely enjoyable and at the same time challenging. There are a number of items that you will need to prepare beforehand and a whole bunch of things that may perhaps possibly go wrong. Plus, you're talking about planning a ghoulish Halloween party for youngsters whose attention span can be as short as a candle wick. The party can easily go out of control with kids getting boisterous, trying to best one another with their costumes, treats, etc.

Although having some sort of control would be a great but also remember that this is a children's party, an iron hand rule would be overdoing it. Now there are a number of ways to make your audience listen. One way would be to keep them busy by having them participate in party games. There are quite a number of party games that you can organize that would certainly grab the attention of your kids.

If you're familiar with the game called Mummy Wrap, you know the kids will be glad to participate with this one. As the name of the game implies, it involves wrapping someone with mummy wraps which in our case equates with a roll of toilet paper. The game is simple. You just need to group the kids into small groups and have them designate someone to wrap. At your cue, the wrap the "mummy" with toilet paper from head to feet. The group that were able to wrap fully their mummy the fastest would be the winner.

Several Halloween games I know are just variations of exiting party games. We have the Halloween musical chairs and the freeze dance. Both I'm certain you already know. It doesn't hurt to be a little creative with your chairs. You can easily make the children feel it's a Halloween game it you make the chairs ghoulish looking like maybe making them appear like tombstones or using darker colored chairs and adding some cobwebs.

And don't forget the music. You can easily find Halloween music in the nearest record store or in the internet. For further enjoyment, you can ask the kids to dance in a "monstery" or ghoulish kind of way. You can even give a prize to the kid that will give the best monster dance.

Don't forget to give prizes to your game winners. This will persuade them to participate in the next games.

A different game which seems to popular is the building a scarecrow game. This entails having numerous groups of children make their scarecrow using pillow cases, old clothes, newspapers, cardboards, tapes or adhesives, and markers. You will have to set up some old clothes for this one. The children will certainly enjoy making something that often see in television and books.

You can also have a Halloween candy hunt which basically is a departure of the Easter egg hunt. By this time, we just hope that the kids haven't discovered yet the candies you hid around the area.

Don't forget to have a scary story telling time as well. Ask one of your guests or friends to tell a story to the kids at the party. Avoid making the story too scary though.

There are other ghoulish Halloween party games that can still do. Just remember that this is the children's day and your objective is to have them enjoy the day.

Most people are not aware of the fact that there are dangers of Halloween props. When it comes to trying out your decoration skills and expressing your creativity, Halloween is a great holiday! Many individuals work all year to accumulate props and develop creative ideas on how to design their home, their lawn, and other areas like their sheds for Halloween.

Unfortunately, in most cases, these individuals fail to consider the fact that there can be true dangers associated with the items that they use to decorate with. Here, I will share with you some of the most common dangers of Halloween props when used during this fall holiday.

One of the most common Halloween props is the implementation of "spider webs" in the area that one wants to attract fear. There are web products that are sold in decoration stores as well as department stores that are composed of string, rope, and even wire. Many accidents occur each year when this type of product is placed low enough to catch someone's foot, or even high enough for the individual to actually run into.

While this type of prop may only leave some minor cuts, scrapes, or bruising, it is all uncomfortable. If falls are experienced, it may result in serious injury. If you are going to put up this type of webbing, set it in an area away from where people will frequent.

The next type of Halloween prop that is relatively common are dark lights, colored lights, and even black lights. At first glance, these appear to be completely safe and innocent types of lighting, but if you use them as the only source of lighting, the area may be so dark that it drastically reduces visibility.

When this occurs, someone may run into something that could harm them, or even fall and experience a number of injuries. If you plan on using this type of lighting, it may be good to use some small powered lights, such as battery operated lanterns that can be included as part of the festive decorations in order to improve visibility.

As you can see, there are a number of dangers that can be associated with Halloween props. While I have only listed a couple of examples here, they are real examples that will get your mind focused on determining the best method of decorating with props this Halloween. Remember to "think outside the box" when it comes to potential dangers while using Halloween props so that you and your guests can enjoy a safe evening this year!

Eighth-Grade Boy Sent Home From School for Jesus Christ Halloween ... - FOXNews

Eighth-Grade Boy Sent Home From School for Jesus Christ Halloween ... FOXNews - Nov 1, 2008 Superintendent James Montesano says the district doesn't want students wearing costumes that could be distracting. Alex's mother is Catholic, and his father ...

The month of October brings everyone's favorite holiday, Halloween and New York is full of events that are sure to get you scared and excited at the same time. One of the most important parts of Halloween occurs before the event and that is the designing of the costume. Much time and preparation goes into designing the most original but yet freaky costume. Not just a New York thing but the world over, males are normally more reluctant than females to get dressed up in any type of costume, regardless of the event. Women have always been more enthusiastic about getting dressed up and this applies to Halloween. Well, this year it's time for the males to leave their inhibitions at the door and get creative with their costumes. To help males make an impact at this year's Halloween events I've put together some pointers to help them with their costumes.

The traditions of Halloween go back to ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain, which was known as the end of the harvest season in Ireland. The Irish would take stock of their supplies and slaughter livestock in preparation for the winter months. Overtime, Halloween symbols have evolved such as the carved pumpkin with a candle in it, to trick-or-treat, bonfires, ghost tours and more recently costume parties. Today cities like New York have major events marking the date. One event that attracts people to New York is the Village Halloween parade. Over twenty thousand people participate in the event with over a million people lining the streets, making it the biggest Halloween parade in the world.

The problem with males getting dressed up in costumes is that they feel stupid. To help males feel less stupid is to join forces and go as a couple costume, this will take the pressure of your man. The trick is to keep the costume manly, don't pick a costume that is going to make him feel insecure every time you leave his side at an event. A classic Halloween costume for couples to wear is the Cowboy and Saloon girl outfit. Every male as a boy loved getting dressed up as cowboy and that feeling lives on in all of us, we jump at any opportunity to don the Cowboy shirt and hat. A Halloween costume that will turn heads at any New York events is the Zorro and a Senorita outfit. An outfit any male could throw together, all they need is a black shirt, black pants, black mask and a fencing sword. Another fantastic outfit for couples is the Pirate and Treasure Chest costume, he dresses as a pirate while she wears a gold shirt, and attaches gold, silver and peal beads. Everyone looks forward to Halloween events and the women don't have to have all the fun getting dressed-up, encourage your man to get creative and he'll come out of his box and surprise everyone.

James has recently moved to New York and he's looking forward to checking out Halloween in the big apple. With so many New York events listed this Halloween it's hard to decide where to go. To help with your decision he recommends using Metro212, which he believes is a good source for all New York events and nightclub listings including dating services.

Customer Review: Bad sizing chart
My daughter was so excited for this costume. It came just in time for her school party. However the boot covers and the wig were way to small. (I think the wig would fit an infant-maybe!!) My daughter is a small 9 year old(wears size 7 in jeans) So I thought 8-10 size would fit. It left her in tears!
Customer Review: Very pleased
Prompt delivery and worth the money. My daughter still wears the costume for dress up around the house.

Child's Toddler Dash Halloween Costume (Size: 3T)

In this article, read about the differences between the older and younger generations' preferred menus and activities for Christmas Dinner festivities in Britian.

The archetypal Christmas meal:

Is attended by about 5 guests
Will start at 2:24 p.m.
Menu will include: roast potatoes, Brussels sprouts, chipolatas and almost everyone is expected to eat turkey
Thick gravy is preferred
About half will drink a toast in champagne and the other half will choose sparkling wine
A combination of Christmas pudding, mince pies, chocolates and Christmas cake is served for desserts
Cheese is also available

For the younger generation:

There is evidence to prove Brussels Sprouts is on the way out of their Christmas dinner menu
The age group of 18-24 year olds may still have them on their plates, but fewer than 7% rate them as a favorite Christmas dish
Roast potato still looks good for all age groups
Christmas pudding is on the decline for the younger generation
Some in this age group expressed a desire for mashed as well as roast potato
Parsnips, peas and broccoli are in the same category with sprouts on the Christmas menu for this group - on their way out

The older generation states their ideal festive food is prawn cocktail, turkey and sprouts with red wine and Christmas pudding for dessert. The younger crowd prefers sage and onion stuffing, sausages and mashed potatoes with chocolates instead of the pudding.

Women will do most of the cooking on Christmas Day; however, about 45 % of men will also cook. It seems that more men than women will be doing the washing up or loading of the dishwasher after the festive meal.

Where is the meal served?

About 89% will join in some form of celebration on Christmas Day. Half of these will have the meal at home at the dining table, a few will eat in the living room, possibly in front of the TV and a third will have it with extended family or in-laws and only 2% will have it with friends.

After the festive meal, the younger generation will slump on the sofa and watch films or play board games. Some of these are expected to fall asleep on the sofa and about 30% will go for a walk.

In comparison, the over-55s are more active, 45 % will choose to walk off some of the Christmas calories and only about 38% are likely to take a nap.

And so that seems about what the British do to for Christmas dinner...

Source: The British Christmas Dinner 2007 - "Pass The 3.63 Roast Potatoes, Dear"; Major study by Sainsbury's reveals the UK's archetypal Christmas meal; The roast potato is king, it's turkey breast over leg and we'll each eat three and a half desserts; 77 per cent of women expect to be in charge of the cooking - but so do 45 per cent of men; Some established traditions may be in decline amongst the young, including the sprout.

Christmas is an ideal holiday to get the family together for some "us" time. In today's busy world it is sometimes difficult to spend quality time with family. Rekindle the meaning of family with simple activities the whole family will enjoy and look forward to year after year. If possible do an activity every evening or a few a week to build anticipation for the coming holiday season.

1. View Christmas light displays in your city then hang Christmas lights indoors and outdoors.

2. Light the fireplace, drink eggnog or cocoa, eat popcorn and read holiday stories out loud. Take turns reading.

3. Make an Advent calendar or wreath and decorate it together.

4. Play cards or board games together. Share apple cider or other snacks.

5. Have a picnic indoors-cook food on a regular stove or grill food outside and then set up a place in your home to enjoy. The fireplace or family room works great.

6. Bake cookies together. Decorate and enjoy them while they are still warm. Gingerbread cookies are always a hit.

7. Deliver meals or baked goods to the elderly or incapacitated in your neighborhood.

8. Visit a giving tree together. Choose a gift and assign everyone a part in buying, wrapping, choosing or delivering the gift. Deliver the gift together as a family.

9. Sign and address Christmas cards together.

10. Wrap presents together. Make your own wrapping paper and bows if you'd like.

11. Visit a tree farm and find and buy a live Christmas tree together then decorate it.

12. Be a Secret Santa and do a family gift exchange. Draw names and give the recipient a small, inexpensive gift a few times before the big day. The dollar store works great for this. Reveal who you are on Christmas day.

13. Make fudge and then gift wrap some for family, friends or co-workers.

14. Color pictures together for a coloring contest.

15. Write a story or poem about a time you all shared together.

There will always be people who want their Christmas decorations to be a bit different, something unusual that will set their display apart from the rest. Whether it be using the very latest LED technology for animated outdoor displays, designer decorations from specialist artists, or just taking an old idea and giving it a new personal twist, they just want to think that their decor is unusual.

Are you one of those who would like a Christmas tree that does not look like a million others in a 20 mile radius? Maybe for the first time you have the inclination to do something different with the tree this year, but are not quite sure where to start? Here are some ideas that may help you get your thoughts together on how to create an unusual Christmas tree display, one that will get visitors to your home stop and say: "oh, that's unusual."

There are two basic ways you can achieve the unusual effect you want from your tree, and many variations of those two basics. You can also combine the two. The first is to choose a tree that is itself unusual, and the second is to decorate the tree with unusual or unique ornaments and decorations. For the big impression though, it is best not to rely on the minute detail of the ornaments, as these will not be immediately noticeable. So, for the first impact, it is best to focus on the tree itself, color and any tree decor that is immediately noticeable to someone walking in the room, such as rare lighting arrangements.

Unusual Christmas Trees

There was a time when a Christmas tree was just a Christmas tree, a real fresh cut tree brought from a tree farm or dragged from a nearby store. That was before artificial trees came on the scene and rapidly improved to the point today they make great alternatives. That definitely increases the scope for having an unusual Christmas tree display in your home.

Here are a few specific ideas:

1. Use an old tradition which has been rediscovered. Upside down Christmas trees date back centuries, in Germany, but if someone has not seen one before, it will definitely make an impact on them. While the originals were real, artificial versions are now readily available.

2. Go for a colored tree; colored other than green, that is. You can even go for a single color theme, with all decor being basically the same color as the tree, only in different shades. Pink is especially effective for this purpose, and makes a big visual impact. Light blue, navy blue, gold, and red, are all possible choices. It makes sense to find your matching ornaments before spending on the tree, just in case you have difficulty decorating your tree with right colored ornaments.

3. When it comes to decor and ornaments, the best place to make an immediate impact is with the tree topper. By choosing a larger than normal, unusually designed, and lighted tree topper you can attract quick attention to your tree.

4. You can, of course, use lighting effects to set your tree apart from the rest. However, be careful to not choose lights that will distract from the best features of your tree. For instance, with a color theme such as pink, it is better to have lights that subtly merge into the tree.

.
Customer Review: Unhappy with size ratio
The sizes are completely off of what they actually are. I wear a size 3/4 in clothing, so I bought the size small costume. When I tried it on, it fell right off of me! It felt like it was a size large instead of a small. So I exchanged that for the size XS. This too was to big! The size XS felt like a size medium! I am very unhappy with how the sizes are listed.

When couples are trying to decide what to be for Halloween. The decision is usually left up to the female. The only problem is the female wants to be something funny and cute that says were a couple and the man well he's a man. So getting them into the costume the woman chooses for him may not be so easy.

But here are a few great ideas and ways you can get your man to wear that Halloween costume. Your best chance to get this done is to compromise a little bit and choose something that is more manly. One great idea would be for you to go as a wench and for him to be your pirate. This way you can dress in hot and sexy dress and boustie and well him . Argh what man would want to be a pirate.

Another great idea is to go as a saloon girl and him to go as a cowboy. This way you can wear cowboy shirt and jeans. Along with six shooter and manly cowboy hat and you can dress as a hot slutty saloon girl, wearing high heeled boots, a knee-high dress and a sexy slip underneath.

More great ways to show your a couple is you can go dressed up as a sexy lion, and he could be your lion tamer with a whip. You don't think that would get him excited, one the most important things When you're trying to come up for a costume ideas for couples is to remember that being cute is great, and stupid well is stupid. And you don't want to make your man feel that way .

If you prefer, there is a more traditional costumes such as Jack and Jill. You can really get into it by having both of you carry pails and writing Jack and Jill on the back of each other shirts. Jack can go with a broken crown and Jill you can wear some short shirts ant tie your shirt in front. And then really dress it up by having tons of blood pouring from Jack head, and Jill should be all bruised up from tumbling down after him.

Just remember for him nothing really too fussy, and something that fits them comfortably. If you do this. You can even use the staples such as a Playboy bunny and Hef, a French maid, and his Butler or even a Football player and a hot high school cheerleader.

As long as he feels a little manly in his costume when you're not standing right by his side you should have no problem getting them into something cute and funny. Good Luck

Zelda Queen Pet Costume - 5 Halloween Pet Safety Tips

Many pet costumes will be popular this Halloween and one of them is the Zelda Queen Pet costume. But people tend to forget that while a costume may look cute on their pet, is that feeling also being reciprocated by their pride and joy?

It comes down to plain commonsense in the end and why choices such as the Zelda Queen pet costumes are preferred. However, while you may go to a lot of trouble making sure your pet is part of your Halloween celebrations give thought to a more serious issue and that's pet's safety at this time of the year.

In this article, we want to point out some concerns and issues which can be detrimental to the safety of your animal and could cause harm to it if not addressed.

Halloween Pet Safety

1. Be careful your pet doesn't get too excited or frightened by the Halloween excitement. Trick or treaters coming to your door will be strangers to your animals and they can either react aggressively or in a scared fashion.

2. Keep your animal on a leash even if they are in the house. again, when strange people come to your door dressed in costumes and not looking all that normal some pets could get aggressive. The leash is a good idea not just for the safety of trick or treaters but also your pet who could even make a beeline for the open door and disappear into the night.

3. Make sure you don't feed your pet any of the treats available at Halloween. Things like chocolate and candy can actually cause harm to pets so be aware of this and let your children know not to feed the family dog chocolate or candy treats.

4. Avoid leaving pets outside. Halloween, while it can be a fun time also has a sinister side with pets often the target of unnecessary abuse and cruelty.

5. Be careful not to traumatize your pet if you are dressing it in a costume. Most pets are not use to wearing extra gear and while the majority adapt to it, things like tight fitting costumes can definitely cause distress.

Taking Your Halloween Crafts to New Heights Using Stencils to Paint Pumpkins

Pretty soon the little ghosts will be arriving on your doorstep. That means it's time to get all those Halloween Crafts started too. Decorating pumpkins for Halloween is a longtime tradition. However, recent years have brought about some exciting changes to the tradition. Folks are becoming much more creative and putting an artistic touch to their designs. Instead of just the traditional carving of a pumpkin, now people are painting pumpkins.

I want to share with you some ideas and how to information for painting jack o lantern stencils onto a pumpkin. Decorating your pumpkin with paint is much less messy and safer when getting the kids involved. Not to mention that you can be a lot more creative with paint and using a Halloween stencil makes the job much easier.

Don't just limit these instructions to the pumpkins you pick up at the farmer's market either. I use this technique on gourds, too. Also, I found some plastic pumpkins at my local craft and decorating supply house. These are great because I can pack them away and they'll be good for next year.

There are many printable Halloween stencils available on the web. But first, match your pumpkin and your stencil design. If you already have a pumpkin that is tall and thin, find a pattern that will fill in the height and not curve too far around the sides. If you have chosen a pattern that is short and wide, look for a pumpkin that is squat and round. You want your image to be clearly visible from one direction. Also, try to find a pumpkin that has a smooth side for your pattern to fit snugly against. This will make it easier to transfer your pattern.

If the Halloween stencil is not the right size for your pumpkin, you can always reduce or enlarge the image on a copy machine. Just hold the design in front of the pumpkin and eye it in. It's best not to have a design that rolls too far over the top or bottom of your pumpkin. Remember, you want to see the entire design from one direction.

OK! You've got your pattern and it's the right size. Now, you'll have to cut your pattern so that you can apply paint. Using a craft-knife cut out the openings on the stencil. Make sure your blade is sharp at all times. Dull blades may cause the paper stencil to tear. The goal is to cut along each line only once with a firm, smooth motion. With your free hand, hold the stencil firmly and rotate the stencil so that you are always cutting with your arm and wrist at a comfortable angle. When cutting past a thin bridge area carefully use a finger to hold down the paper.

Now it's time to tape the stencil to the pumpkin and apply paint. That's much easier said than done because you have a flat square page that needs to be secured to a round object. Here's what I do. Line up your stencil so that the center of the design is even with the center of the pumpkin and put tape on each side. Then if you can, place another piece of tape at the top and the bottom. As you apply paint, you will need to use a finger to pull down the corners so that it flattens against the pumpkin.

Pour paint onto your palette (a paper plate can be used). Dip your brush in the paint and work into the bristles by gently rotating to make sure all sides are loaded with color. Then dab the brush several times on a paper towel or piece of paper to get out any excess paint. It's important to have a brush that is on the dry side because it will keep paint from seeping under the stencil and smearing or running. This will most likely happen to some degree anyway so be prepared to do some touching up.

More color is achieved by repeated coverage, not by using more paint. When your brush is properly loaded, an even powdering of paint is left when blotted on a paper towel or paper. Apply the paint using a downward, or dabbing, motion over the edges of the stencil openings so as not to push paint under the stencil. If you use a back and forth brushing motion, the brush will push paint under the stencil and cause smearing. Another reason you do not want to use a brushing or back and forth stroke is because it may tend to curl or bend your paper stencil. Apply paint with this dabbing and blotting motion in all the cut out areas of your stencil.

It's best to wait a couple of minutes before removing the stencil once you've finished painting. The idea is to be able to get the paper away from the surface without smudging the paint. So, if you let the paint dry just a little it will be less likely to smear. On the other hand, if the stencil remains in place for the paint to thoroughly dry, some of the paper along the edges will stick to the pumpkin. When removing the stencil, hold down on one side and roll it away. This is the best way to keep the stencil from dragging across any wet paint.

Touch up any jagged lines with a thin paint brush. You will most likely also need to fill in the crevice areas of the pumpkin that didn't receive paint. For paint in areas where it shouldn't be, you can use a wet cloth or paper towel to wipe it away.

Wait! Don't put away the paint brush and paints. This is the part where you can get very creative. Since you are working with paint, there is no reason you can't do a second color or even a few colors. Here are a few tips and hints to make your pumpkins really stand out.

Once you have completed a layer of black paint on your stencil, reattach the stencil just above the black areas and repaint with yellow. This creates a shadow effect.

But don't be shy with the colors. Using reds, blues and greens can make your faces or scenes really stand out. You have the stencil to guide you in getting an image onto your pumpkin so now stretch your creativity and make it unique.

Customer Review: Great shirt!
My husband and I recently went to a costume party dressed as pirates. This was a great shirt for the price and it served its purpose well. The material is a little thin so he wore a t-shirt underneath. If he never uses the shirt again, it was well worth the money.
