Our close friend has an annual Halloween Party and the costume competition is INTENSE. I knew we had to come up with something good! While reading US Weekly, I ran across a picture of David and Victoria Beckham and knew I had nailed our costume idea, The Beckhams! My Victoria costume was easy, as I already … Read more
This is my daughter Alaina. Her absolute favorite recording artist is Katy Perry and so it was a “duh” moment when I knew she would want to dress as Miss Perry for Halloween. But… she wanted to be Katy Perry in her cupcake dress, specifically. So I made that happen. The skirt is styrofoam rings, … Read more
My son Jimmy went as a penny coin. We cut it out of cardboard and cut a space for his shoulder. We added a handle on the other side using duct tape and cardboard. We cut out cardboard letters to say “In God We Trust” and added the year he was born. We spray painted … Read more
With me it was pretty simple, I found a great black dress and just dolled it up a little with ruffles and a flower and then went and gathered neon colored accessories. I even dyed my hair black so that I would be in full Katy attire. My husband wore a black button down with … Read more
Typically my husband and I choose a couples-themed costume, but when he chose to be Ryan Gosling’s character from “Drive,” I knew I was on my own. I look forward to putting together a costume each year, and not simply buying a pre-made packaged one. After weeks of racking my brain, I finally came up … Read more
I always have fun trying to decide what original costume to help my daughters with. We come from a family of artists, therefore, I thought it was fitting to honor another female artist, Frida Kahlo this year. My ethnicity is a Greek/Italian mother and Native American father, with my youngest looking very much as I … Read more
I’ve always had a long tongue and for years people said I should dress up as Gene Simmons. In 2010, I finally did. I wanted to make the costume myself but only had a day to do so. With some luck, a “build wings” tutorial found online, one pair of (incredibly uncomfortable but totally worth … Read more
I had a blast this Halloween, rocking the light up Jeopardy board on Friday night and this awesome boat Halloween costume on Saturday! I originally started with just the hat and jacket, and wanted to make it more awesome. I thought of the boat idea, which turned into light up boat, and finally adding Andy … Read more
I had been on a long streak of rock ‘n roll inspired costumes. ZZ Top has such an iconic look and they’re practically wearing costumes in real life. So it was a perfect match for me this year. Got a cheap suit with tails from the Goodwill store. I wore a simple white dress shirt … Read more
This three headed ZZ top homemade Halloween costume was quite easy to make. Just took some thin plywood and put a spike thru it and thru the shoulder on my jacket. From there just stuck the heads on each shoulder and that was it. If I had to do it again tough I would use … Read more
As a great fan, I figured it is never too early to have my daughter jump on the Guns N’Roses train, so this year we went as the infamous duo of Axl and Slash! This is me and my seven month old, Molly. As you can see in one photo, Molly is passed out in … Read more
Our Scott and Kourtney costume was the simplest and cheapest costume we have ever done. For Scott we used already on hand clothes (yes, the red pants we already part of his wardrobe). We threw a ridiculously, hideous wig on him (5 bucks), some aviators and of course…an over the top cheesy grin. For Kourtney, … Read more
