I was bugging my brother to dress up as Jay and Silent Bob for a while now and he finally agreed. I was Jay, he was Silent Bob. I just thought it would be really fun. Maybe because the characters always seem to be having so much fun. Whenever people dress up as Jay and … Read more
Why do I always ask my son (He’s 8 now) “What do you want to be for Halloween?” You would think that I would have learned that he wants to be something challenging. Well in his defence this year he did say something generic when I first asked him. I don’t even remember what. Ninja? … Read more
The idea for a Starbucks Drink Cup was brewed up last year. Every year when we win the local costume contest at a Recreational Center, on the drive home we brainstorm our next big winning idea. Although we knew we wanted to make a Starbucks cup, we didn’t actually start constructing it until the last … Read more
My daughter Maya Mayne is wearing the costume and made it completely by herself. She did everything herself except pay for what she needed. I paid for the materials, which cost about $150. I also want to inform you that she is 13 years old. All the information seen below was written by her (steps, … Read more
Ever since I was little, I have enjoyed watching sci-fi movies. Especially those that included aliens.

It had to be sleeveless, have a turtleneck, and be the right color. My gloves I just bought at walmart and then super glued strips of electrical tape on … Read more
Most people downright stared at us when we waddled into a Halloween bash in downtown Detroit with floppy bird hats, feathered eyelashes, a multi- colored wrap around tail, a full red jumpsuit with feathers pouring out of our arms, legs, and tails. We met some other animal friends in the club (monkeys, penguins, etc) and … Read more
I love doing large DIY costumes each year for Halloween. I think they’re way more fun and creative than a store bought costume. Plus, I love the added challenge of trying to figure out how to make my vision a reality. Last year I created a gumball machine costume and wanted to continue with a similar … Read more
It all began with boots. I wanted the boots. That was how I decided on the costume. My husband David and I make our own couples costumes every year for Halloween. We’ve had so much fun with it over the years that it has become a very big deal, shrouded in secrecy – all of … Read more

This was the best costume I ever created, yet definitely the hardest to maintain and transport! The majority of it is actually made up of coat hangers and duct tape, so while it didn’t cost much, there was a lot of heart, soul, and effort put into this bad boy! Step #1: Build the base … Read more
