I would first like to thank you for hosting this event which not only allows, but inspires, people to embrace their creative side and strive for innovation. This costume was first inspired by Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood music video. The video has a very dark, deadly, futuristic feel. I had concert tickets to the Taylor … Read more
I made this Jellyfish costume for my five year old niece as part of the underwater theme that her and her brother chose this year. I originally planned to take a clear umbrella, toss on some battery operated lights and glue some ribbon on. However, I decided to take it a few steps further. After seeing … Read more
When my kids pick their costume I just ask a few favors—don’t choose anything I can just easily buy in a store, or anything monotone (it takes me so long to make them I would go crazy without a little variety) and chose something that gives you joy! This rocket fit all of those things. … Read more
I have very fond memories of my mom coming up with fun and creative last minute ideas for Halloween costumes for me when I was a kid. Like a lot of moms, she did it by using everyday stuff from around the house and out of our drawers and closets. My mom wasn’t necessarily the … Read more
I wanted to be something awesome this Halloween, something I loved and enjoyed dressing up as several times for parties and such. I decided I wanted to go as a Mermaid but did’t like the costumes I was seeing online. I even looked up some patterns to make your own mermaid costume, but they had … Read more
I obviously go crazy for Halloween, I love it!! I go big every single year, and always really shoot for an actual walking art installation, if you will. Vaudeville acts always inspired me, imagery wise and addition to illusion. Our Magic Act gone wrong was so much fun!!! We were a grand hit in Los … Read more

This lion tamer costume was inspired by our dog who needed to be groomed. She is a goldendoodle and had very long hair. It was close to Halloween and we thought it would be a great idea to shave her like a lion. We have a two year old son who absolutely adores his dog. We thought … Read more
We went to my sister’s house on Halloween night, where the street gets hundreds of Trick or Treaters, all the neighbors are out on their porches blasting Halloween music, it’s the kind of crowded, festive streets you see in the movies. We had a constant line for hours of children and teenagers (and a few … Read more
My mom and I make my costume every year. This year’s inspiration was an Emmy award. Gold, Gold, and more Gold! For the Emmy Award costume I started by buying a gold dress, battery operated Christmas lights, gold body paint and one of those expandable ball toys. Then it was off to the craft store … Read more
I wanted to change something up, do a twist of someone that I like. When I was little the movie of Pocahontas didn’t really get that famous but I wanted to bring her out as a guy version. People will ask ‘is that Pocahontas as a guy”… and they where right. This was the feeling … Read more
