The Flapper and the Flapper Costume

Even though over 70 years have passed since Bettie Boop first appeared in the Fleischer Brothers cartoons of the 1930's, the character still remains an endearing image in popular culture. Part of the reason for this is the fact that the classic image of the Flapper girl represents a part of history of the United States that - although long since past - has never been forgotten. Part of the reason for this is that the Flapper era started in the 1920's and ushered in an era of the fun, short haired party girl.

To a certain extent, this represented a certain whimsy that would soon be eliminated with the onset of the Great Depression and the Second World War as they represented serious times with little emphasis on fun, partying or hedonism. It is interesting to note that the end of the First World War ushered in a desire for whimsy that created the flapper movement much like the end of the Vietnam War ushered in an era of whimsy in the form of the disco generation as well. Perhaps it is because history repeats itself that the image is one that has never been forgotten.

This brings us to the unique and very authentic replica Flapper Costume that is offered for the Halloween season. This Flapper Costume looks very much like the original Flapper clothes that were worn many decades ago and some people may even believe that it is an authentic 1920's outfit! It is, of course, a reproduction, but it is an excellent reproduction that would prove to be on of the most unique Halloween costumes ever. This one is definitely worth considering for those women who are not sure yet what they want to dress up as. It is worth checking out.

Different Kid's Halloween Costumes

Until the 1960's, most of the kids used to wear Halloween costumes made by their mothers. This was mainly because the dresses that kids wore back then were mostly simple gowns and plastic or paper masks that made a kid appear like ghost, witch, prince, princess or fairy. Kids Halloween costumes have come a long way since then. They are available in whole lots of varieties today from traditional Halloween costumes to some splendid outfits based on various themes and characters. The kids' costumes can be bought today based on their favorite cartoon character, popular superhero and the scariest of the aliens, etc.

The first thing you can do before shopping for kids Halloween costumes is to find out what is their favorite character and what type of costume, they would like to wear on the occasion. If your girl simply wants to look like an Indian princess, then just get her a brown dress with a headband and some feathers or if your boy wants to appear like a Batman, Superman or Spiderman, there are huge ranges of kids Halloween costumes available for him to choose from. Simply go online and search for the costumes that your kids want.

Halloween is a festival that lasts for an evening or two that makes it even more important to plan the dress out well in advance. You should talk about the costumes with your kids and plan their dresses according to their preferences. This makes the whole process of selecting kids Halloween costume more exciting and fun. Though the dress is for the Halloween evening and usually worn once, many kids get to wear it more than once like wearing it to a school carnival and then for neighborhood activity. Also, many kids love to wear these dresses around the house once the festival is over. Little kids love to sleep in their Halloween costumes. Therefore, it is important for you to consider certain things like it should be durable, and also it should be comfortable to wear and sleep in before selecting a Halloween costume.

Another important thing you need to keep in mind is the purposes that dress will be used for. Kids will wear their costumes more if they are going for a trick or treating in the neighborhood and also join a neighborhood group at the local park for playing games and getting treats. It should not be constricting or multipart and should not affect the free moment during the game play. Furthermore, the care should also be taken of the accessories that come along with the dress. They should not be more in number, so that your child could easily carry them and should not misplace them.

Finally, a little bit of imagination and some effort on your own part will make Halloween memorable for many years to come.

Halloween Costumes For Couples

My parents and their friends didn't care much about Halloween or Halloween costumes. They didn't dress up at all. Although they took us trick-or-treating. I always asked myself why grown-ups behave that way when I was a child. Since I was a teenager I felt in love with costumes and spooky dresses. I liked to dress up as villains from scary films like Jason, Freddy Krueger or Leatherface from the Texas chainsaw massacre. I had my fun scaring little kids with these kind of looks but it didn't take long until I realized that they weren't very original or special at all.

When I was around 17 I found out for myself that I liked couple costumes quite much. Of course that was the time when I had my first real relationship and I was deep in love. So what could be a better sign that we are together than dressing up with the same costumes for Halloween. Some of our friends made fun of us and thought it was a little bit childish but they changed their opinion when they realized that many adults do just the same. So suddenly we weren't the only ones that entered the next Halloween party in costumes for couples. Back then many of our friends thought that it was a funny thing and we started to think about costume ideas all together long before the parties began.

The following year couple costumes were the hit in my circle of friends and even their siblings. A whole gang of people was going to the Halloween parties of the following years in Halloween costumes that complemented each other. Occasionally we were in pairs but most of the times we appeared as complete groups of several people. We had all kinds of costumes. Sometimes we dressed up like characters of the fairy tales, sometimes like TV or movie figures but the most fun we had when we all went as superheros from our favourite comic magazines. In any case we had a lot of fun these days and none of us has forgotten the Halloween parties we had then.

We were all teenagers and went to school. We didn't have much money but we had enough free time to make our costumes by ourselves. Some of us did pretty well in crafting the costumes and we all shared our skills to help each other getting all together. It really became a teamwork project that began several weeks before Halloween was near. Some accessories we bought from Halloween stores because they were to complicated to produce. After the second year we had several costumes that we could combine to new ones so that there was a good supply to create fresh costumes from the previous Halloween costumes.

A Michael Jackson Halloween Costume

Year after year, each Halloween there are several costumes that are either new or extremely popular. I remember when many boys were dressed as Spider-man after the popularity of the movie.

This year I am sure we are going to have a number of "new" ways of dressing up for Halloween and I am sure that a Michael Jackson Halloween costume is going to show up in many Halloween adult parties.

Throughout the years, many men have been dressing up as Elvis Presley. In fact there are some men who dream of looking like Elvis and not just around Halloween but they use every opportunity they have to dress like the King and in their own way, pay tribute to the now gone great singer they admire.

Therefore, I predict that starting this year, we will have many men and women wear a Michael Jackson Halloween costume or a wig that will make them look like him. Merchants are also getting ready for this trend and many online stores will be including many more Michael Jackson costumes than ever before.

If you prefer to save money and make your own Michael Jackson costume, there are a few things you can do.

• Search the online catalogs to get ideas


• Pick a "look" that might be easy to imitate


• Get a "Michael Jackson" wig

For instance, if you look at the photo on the Thriller album, Michael Jackson is wearing a white suit with a black shirt. Now that's an easy costume to come up with.

A pair of white pants, a white blazer, a black belt and a black shirt. Make sure you find a leopard print kerchief to put in that pocket.

Another easy to come up with look is black pants, ankle length, white socks, black loafers, a white v-neck t shirt a black sequence jacket and a black fedora.

You could buy a black sequence jacket at a consignment shop but if you can't find one, perhaps a black shirt or a leather jacket will do. As far as the glove... Just go to your local drugstore and look for one of those body scrubbing gloves in the body wash section. They are usually white and are made of a shiny nylon thread that could pass as THE glove.

What about other costumes, you might add? Well, this year I think that Star Trek is still very popular. Trekkies will always be Trekkies, but for those of you who need an easy costume, especially for men or boys nothing could be easier.

Get a long sleeve t-shirt in either light blue or gold. Glue some gold or silver gift wrap ribbon on the sleeves (usually 3 bands of ribbon) and wear it on top of a black t-shirt. Make sure that the black t-shirt collars shows. If necessary, sew, pin or staple the necks so that the neck from the black t-shirt will show at all times. A pair of black pants and you are good to go. Buy a cheap Trekkie gun at toy store to complete the theme.
