My son and I Tommy from Louisville, KY decided to get real creative this year. We built a zombie referee carrying a peewee football player. We built it mostly out of Styrofoam and PVC pipe, all stuffed into a back pack. I referee football so the uniform shirt, pants, flag, whistle, socks, hat and shoes … Read more
I love my team. I love costumes. As a young attractive female, I’m contractually obligated to tart it up a bit on Halloween. So how do I combine all of these elements in one rocking outfit?

And they are OFF! This Kentucky Derby Race Horse Jockey and Owner Couple Costume is such a FUN costume to be. It did take a lot of work and prep but was well worth it in the end. I had my seamstress make the costumes. I got the brown and white polka dot theme from … Read more
