It’s A Women’s World

Quick, let’s hear it - your favorite day of the year! I knew it. I also said Halloween. I too love this frightful occasion that only comes once a year. It’s not just about the candy! I mean sure, I consume a hefty load of the treats my eight-year-old daughter acquires on October 31st, but there’s so much more to this special day. It’s about coming out of your shell, literally. Finally you get to be whoever you wish to be. Whether it’s a monster, ghoul, goblin, fairy, spy or just some beautiful goddess, who frolics about in fancy dress costumes, you can be it. If nothing else, you have to love the escapism Halloween night provides.

Last Halloween I spotted hundreds of costumes in my neighborhood alone. I can’t help but wonder if children from numerous other subdivisions hit up ours as well. Yeah, I’m on to those little candy munchers. They’re all out trying to fill their bags to the very brim with sweats and various treats. What am I saying? I did the very same thing when I was little. Anyway, let’s talk costumes. Is it all about the fancy dress costumes or the terrifying monster get ups? From my experience, I’ve noticed that the fancy dress costumes on girls produce the most goods. Seriously, if you’re a small girl with a princess costume, you can’t lose. It doesn’t matter if an old woman comes to the door or a 30-year-old man. All will bow down to the sweet, innocent little females in their fancy dress costumes. They’ll smile with a benign light in their eyes and say something like “Here, you take as much as you need.” It’s a certain power that all little girls and their fancy dress costumes should embrace. I watched my little girl do so and it worked every time.

Sure, you can hit up the local Halloween stores when September rolls around or rent fancy dress costumes from the year round costume shops, but I suggest a simpler route. Get online and take a surf. This is where you’ll encounter the best collection. Take your pick from countless costumes, masks and Halloween props.

When Halloween approaches, you may be thinking more about your child’s costume than your own. If you like Halloween as much as your kids do, there is no reason why you can’t enjoy it too. You can go to the store and buy something off the shelf, but there isn’t much fun in this. Instead, you may want to find something unusual, and this means you may have to put a lot of thought into adult Halloween costume ideas. The wackier you get, the more you are going to like what you come up with.

You can find adult Halloween costume ideas in a lot of great places. One of the very best places is the Internet. There will be more websites devoted to ideas than you can get to in one sitting. You may have already guessed this and if you look hard enough, you can find adult Halloween costume ideas that are prefect for you and your spouse. You may even be able to find something unusual and add your own twist to come up with something no one has ever seen before.

You can also come up with unusual adult Halloween costume ideas by mixing and matching costumes you find online or in a store. You can build something out of two different ideas or even three. Think of what you like, recent movies or TV shoes that have caught your eye and then try to think of something to wear. For the most part, unique adult Halloween costume ideas are not things from a movie or TV show. These are things that you may see every day, but would have never considered for a costume.

These adult Halloween costume ideas might be something funny like dressing in pink with a shoe on your head like Ellen did recently on her talk show. She was gum stuck on the bottom of a shoe. You may even try to come up with adult Halloween costume ideas that will make people think. Can you figure out a way to be global warming? Do you have any idea how to make a unique costume that would represent your community’s most popular event? The ideas are out there, but you may just have to give yourself some time to think of something good. Look all around you, because life is full of costume ideas just wanting to be born.
