The makeup for this Hellboy and Wife couple costume took 5 hours but well worth it. First I painted my black boyfriend red with theater paint and then took a latex caveman mask, cut off pieces and glued them to his head. The horns are made out of wood painted red. I then took cotton balls … Read more
We attended the 2012 Mickey’s Halloween Party that they have in September and October, and wanted to do something unique and Disney themed.

For Katy Perry: I started off with the most important and noticeable part of the costume, the lollipops! I know most people know of the cupcake bra from the California Girls video, and I was originally going to go for that but I definitely did not want to buy anything premade, and when I tried searching for … Read more

The cupcake costume was created by taking a big Rubbermaid bin, cutting out the bottom, and hot-gluing folded poster board all around it. The topping was created using cheap tulle from a fabric store. I bunched it up and duck taped it to the inside so it stayed on top. The sprinkles were just foam … Read more
Halloween is our favorite time of year. This was the first year my youngest had not been an accessory to her sister’s costume. I always get giddy watching all those women dress up in their red hat lady outfits. Almost as if they were on their way to a witches convention. We used a red … Read more
