Get ready for lots of belly laughs, tricks and treats when you show up in one of these costumes.

1. Shrek. The popularity of the Shrek movies has made dressing up like an ogre the cool thing to do. The mask for the ugly green guy will have everyone guessing your identity. It's a great idea if you've got kids who love the movies or if you've got a Fiona in your life who'll dress up as your better half.

2. Police Officer. Impersonate an officer for the night with a realistic-looking policeman costume. The ladies love a man in uniform and you'll have fun playing the role of a civil servant walking his beat. Bring a donut and a cup of coffee to the party to add even more realism to your costume.

3. Elvis. Rock it out this Halloween with the King. Go with the full-on white rhinestone leisure suit and black wig with sideburns. Practice a couple Elvis numbers before the party and bust them out to liven up the mood. The ladies won't be able to help falling in love with you!

4. Saturday Night Fever. No one's more recognizable than John Travolta and his Saturday Night Fever outfit. Show up in a white bell bottom pantsuit with dog eared collar. Get the moves down and you'll steal the show on the dance floor at the party.

5. Mad Hatter. Johnny Depp's take on the Mad Hatter from the new Alice in Wonderland movie has turned madness into a fashionable affliction. Go as this wacky tea party host complete with top hat and tricked out wig. Score extra points by bringing Halloween cookies to go with the tea.

6. Michael Jackson. A tribute to the late great King of Pop is hot this season. Grab your one white sparkling glove and get ready to thrill your audience. You can really have fun with this. Grab a black wig and hat and Sgt. Pepper jacket and you'll have all the Pretty Young Things eating out of your gloved hand.

7. Canned Spam. The meat everyone loves to hate is at the top of best-dressed lists this Halloween. This is a costume you can either make out of cardboard or buy. Either way, it's a hysterical take on tinned, pressed meat.

8. The Joker. All you need is some face paint to pull off the Joker look. Grab a buddy and have him play Batman to your Joker.

9. Santa Claus. Believe it or not, the big red elf himself is going to be hot on the Halloween circuit this year. Don a Santa suit a little early in the season and you'll be the merriest one at the party.

10. The M&M. What could be sweeter than you in tights and a big round candy shell? The M&M has delighted Halloween party goers for years and it's still going strong this year. Make yourself into a peanut or a regular M&M for a night full of wacky fun.

Fitting and Sizing Tips For Renaissance Costumes

Whether you're attending a Renaissance or medieval faire, a Renaissance costume party, or participating in a reenactment or chivalry sports event from a certain period in history, it's important to buy a costume that fits comfortably. Wearing Renaissance costumes is fun and exciting, but only if the costume allows you to move and breathe freely. These tips on fitting and sizing will help you find just the right costume for the occasion.

Fitting for Online Purchases

Many people buy Renaissance costumes or medieval garb online, so proper fitting is extremely important. Order far in advance of your event in case it doesn't fit properly and you need to make an exchange or get alterations. Also, pay attention to the sizing instructions provided by the online costume retailer. Sizing varies from one store or brand to the next. Some medieval or Renaissance costume pieces may be designed to fit loosely while others may have a snug fit. Look for words like "tight or close fit" or "generous fit" and take into consideration your body shape, height, if you are short waisted, have long or short legs, etc. Ask a close friend or relative to help you with measurements so your sizing will be as accurate as possible.

How to Take Accurate Measurements

All measurements should be taken in "inches." Using a tape measure, the bust area should be measured under your arms and around the fullest part of your chest, with your arms at your sides. The waist should be measured around the natural waistline, with the measuring tape a bit loose. For hips, measure the fullest part of the hips. For skirt length, measure from the back part of your waist to the floor.

Trouser measurements for the inseam should be taken from the crotch to the desired length of the trousers (with shoes on). The outseam measurement should be taken from the natural waistline (below the belly button) to the desired trouser length (with shoes on). The neck measurement is the full circumference at the base of the neck.

Critical Measurements for Women's Renaissance Costumes

For women, the critical measurements are the bust, waist, hips, height, and skirt length. Sizes usually range from small to 3X. For leather bodices, the bust and waist measurements are needed, but the waist measurement is the most important. Girl sizes usually come in small, medium, and large and are often comparable to store sizes.

Fitting for Men's Renaissance Costumes

For men, critical measurements are the waist, chest, hips, neck, and height. Men's sizes usually range from small to 3X, and boy's sizes usually come in small, medium, and large based on store size ranges.

Minnetonka hat measurements should be taken around the circumference of the head just above the ears, where the hat will rest. Women should consider the type of wig they will wear and measure accordingly with a little room to spare. Hat sizes typically come in small, medium, large, or extra large.

Look for a detailed sizing chart when ordering online. The company should provide measurement instructions and/or customer assistance to ensure that your Renaissance costume and accompanying gear fit properly. Also, shop where you can buy all your costume items and accessories together to save on shipping. Items offered can include medieval swords or other weapons, SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc.) armor, SCA garb, medieval wedding accessories for weddings, pirate costumes, medieval jewelry, games, costume patterns, tights, boots, or shoes.

With the right fit, you'll be able to enjoy the Renaissance costume event to the fullest!

The meaning of Mardi Gras in French language is "Fat Tuesday" and falls somewhere between February 3 and March 9, depending on the lunar cycle. Mardi Gras is a final party before the sacrifices of the season of Lent.

Mardi Gras originated in France and traveled to New Orleans in the late 17th century and today it is celebrated with great pomp every year. The people of New Orleans only added the tradition of holding balls and hosting parades to this festival.

A Mardi Gras party is the time when you can get noticed by other people in your community. This is the time when you can show your tastes through the costume you select for the party. Costumes are a way to escape from reality and enter the world of fantasy and dreams.

Some of the most popular outfits worn by people are kings, queens, court jesters, clowns and even masquerade costumes. masquerade costumes are the most popular and have been highly popularized by Hollywood movies. (Phantom of the Opera and Van Helsing are some of the movies that portray this.) You could be Batman, Caesar, Cleopatra, an angel or even a hero for just one day!

You don't have to go all around the world searching for your Mardi Gras costume. You could find that perfect costume at your local party stores, or stores that sell special costumes.

Adult Avatar Costumes - Popular Halloween Costume Ideas

In 2009, James Cameron released his movie Avatar to the public. This stunning visual piece of art won Oscar awards for its incredible visual effects, artistic direction and cinematography. Viewers around the world became fans of the film, and its mythical world of Pandora as well as the plight of the Na'vi. Now, you can act out your favorite scenes from the movie in your adult avatar costumes.

Many people like to dress up for masquerade parties. Whether it is for Halloween, New Years, or Mardi Gras, your Avatar inspired costume will certainly garner a lot of attention.

The basic costume for almost all the Avatar costumes is that of Neytiri, the Princess of the Omaticaya Clan. Her costume includes just the basics: a full body suit which is covered in the characteristic stripes of her people with a tail. She wears an apron over her groin, but is otherwise "naked". Some kits include arm gauntlets, and beaded bracelet and arm bands. Others do not.

Jake Sully's costume could start with the basic bodysuit. However, to complete that costume you would need an expedition style jacket, a pair of hiking or outdoors pants and some black boots or shoes. Alternately, you could just wear a blue turtleneck underneath the jacket. Or you could simply purchase a kit, which includes the pants, a jacket and a mask.

If you are not feeling terribly bold, but still want to be part of the Avatar contingent, you could go as Dr. Grace. For her costume, add a plain colored tank top and a pair of jeans to the Neytiri costume.

Real fans of this movie may simply want to dress up as themselves as a Na'vi warrior or clan member. A basic Neytiri costume can be a good beginning, but by adding some personal elements, you can make it yours. Add special feathers, paint your face in cool designs, wear novelty beaded necklaces, arm bands and bracelets.

Masks make for easy preparation for the role. However, if you want to make the designs on your Avatar or Na'vi unique, it is best to do your own body and face painting. You will need high quality face paints, and use a blue for your base color, which you will apply to your shoulders, neck, face, and ears. Add dark stripes and contrasting white dots in between to create your design.

If you already have long hair, you can take some time to braid it and put beads and feathers into it to achieve the full Na'vi hair style. Alternately, you can purchase a good quality wig that already is braided or that you can have braided for your costume. Now you are ready for the party in your adult avatar costumes.

How the Most Popular Costumes Got to Be the Most Popular

The most popular fall into a few different categories. There are the most popular of all-time and those costumes that are bound to be the most popular costumes for this year. Another thing to deliberate when thinking about what would be the an appropriate costume is the type of event or reason for the costume.

Some costumes have gained their popularity over the years as traditional Halloween garb. Witches, ghosts and scary monsters fall into this realm of costumes and remain among the most popular costumes for Halloween. As other fictional monsters like Frankenstein and Dracula hit the bookstores and movies, these too have become great costumes for Halloween.

Yet not all of the all-time most popular costumes for Halloween fall into the category of being scary. Some of the most popular are of lovable fictional characters like Alice in Wonderland(C), Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz(C), and some of her sidekicks, the Tin Man, the Lion and the Scarecrow have all become quite popular Halloween Costumes. Costumes like this have retained their popularity along with the books and movies.

Movies still continue to influence choices for the most popular Halloween costume of the year. Especially after the release of a Disney Pixar (TM) movie, certain characters climb the charts in costume fame. For instance pirate costumes though everlastingly a popular costume choice became even more sought after following the release of the Pirates of the Caribbean(C), movies. Princess costumes became more popular after the Disney Princess(C) movies.

Yet, it isn't just Disney (TM) movies that have influenced the popularity of certain costumes. Star Trek characters, Star Wars characters and many other costumes spawned from popular movies. Characters that originated in comic books such as Superman(C) and Batman(C) reclaimed their rights to fame in the list of all-time most popular costumes after the release of newer movies.

The year's most popular costumes seem to coincide with the year's most popular movies, but let there be no mistake about it: sometimes the popularity is short lived and when the magic of the movie has worn off, so has the popularity of the costume. It could be argued that characters such as Sponge Bob Square Pants(C), Strawberry Shortcake(C), or even the Little Mermaid(C) fall into the category of lost popularity though some masses would argue that they will always remain popular.

On the opposite end of the spectrum are characters like the Phantom of the Opera(C) that have remained popular for years. These costumes and Phantom of the Opera(C) masks continue to be best sellers and seem like they will never go out of style. As it is, this is the longest running play ever on Broadway and so the fascination for the Phantom of the Opera(C) was not just a passing infatuation as some other fictional characters have been.

For masquerade balls the popular costumes remain those of a true gentleman in his ruffled shirt, a cummerbund and suit and his lady in a flowing gown or dress with a full skirt and petticoat. Yet for other types of costume parties, the popular costumes tend to be fashioned after historical or fictional couples. For instance, Anthony and Cleopatra, Bonnie and Clyde or even Fred and Wilma Flintstone are popular Halloween party costumes.

Deciding which costumes are the most popular costumes depends on whether you are speaking in terms of all-times or for just the current year. Costumes that retain popularity usually coincide with fictional characters that have remained popular though the hands of time, whereas popular costumes of the year are sometimes merely fads that fade away after the popularity of a movie dies down. If you are looking for a costume that will remain popular, focus on character costumes that have been around for years.

When you are ready to purchase a costume, You should make sure you have given yourself the widest variety, and the largest selection to choose from. You can find the Most Popular Costumes available on the Internet by visiting our site

There are places you can go to buy or rent masks with a headdress or a mask on a stick. However, you can buy a mask of a famous character. For instance, Mike Myers, the Joker, and Zorro. Yet, make an attempt to avoid cliché costumes. For example, Grim Reaper, Jason, and the Scream mask. You don't want to show up at the party with the same costume as someone else.

If the above ideas do not inspire you, there are loads of other personas you can dress up as. For example, a nurse, RuPaul, Wonder Woman, or Cleopatra are all great personas to impersonate.

Whatever you decide to wear on Halloween remember to not drink and drive and watch out for pedestrians.

Mardi Gras Fancy Dress Costumes - 3 Great Carnival Fancy Dress Outfit Suggestions

Mardi Gras fancy dress costumes form a very important part of the carnival celebrations that take place at this time of year. The whole point of Mardi Gras is to have one last load of fun, before Lent begins, and a carnival fancy dress outfit is nothing if not fun.

The phrase "Mardi Gras" is French for "Fat Tuesday" and basically it refers to the age old tradition of eating richer and fattier foods before fasting for Lent, which lasts forty days and begins the day after, on Ash Wednesday.

In the UK, the phrase "Shrove Tuesday" is actually used for this feast day and in recent years it has even become popularly known as "Pancake Day", due to the fact that it is usually pancakes that are the fatty food of choice. Nonetheless, the carnival aspect of the feast day is still followed in many parts of the country.

Mardi Gras fancy dress costumes come in all shapes and sizes, but they all have a few things in common. They are loud, they are colourful and most important of all, they are great fun. Below are three great carnival fancy dress outfit suggestions that you may want to consider when choosing a costume for this year's parade.

Suggestion One: The masquerade Princess

My first outfit suggestion is a one-piece masquerade ball dress, which comes with a silver mask and a black brooch. Masked ball outfits are always a popular choice at this time of year and this is an excellent example of one. The carnival outfit is made from glossy and matte black fabrics and reflective silver cloth, which gives the dress a really unusual, original look.

Suggestion Two: The Twisted Jester

If you are thinking of wearing a scarier looking Mardi Gras fancy dress costume to the carnival, then the Twisted Jester outfit is just perfect. Based around a red and black long sleeved Jester top and trousers, it is the incredible headpiece and attached mask, which makes this such a great choice for carnival fancy dress.

Suggestion Three: The Cha Cha Cha Carnival Costume

My final outfit suggestion is also my personal favourite. The Cha Cha Cha Carnival Costume is everything that good Mardi Gras fancy dress costumes should be. It is loud, bright, extremely colourful and lots of fun. The use of fine fabrics and trim helps create a beautifully detailed outfit, which also includes puff sleeve-lets, a sash and an awesome looking turban-style hat, with glittering fruit.

So where can you find these Mardi Gras costumes?
