Halloween Opens Creativity
 by: Ray La Foy

Halloween is a time for both adults and kids alike to delve into their creative sides and dream up inventive Halloween costumes. It is also a time when people want to be something that they cannot be in their everyday lives. Some people choose to use their minds and try something clever, while others stick to the traditional choices of ghost or witch. They also want their costumes to be unique and very different from everyone else’s that they may see on that particular day

Some people are talented enough to create their own Halloween costumes while others stick to store-bought. Have fun with your costume this year and go over the top! Make your costume the best at the party!

If you’re dressing up for a Halloween party, you’re naturally going to want to look at some sexy Halloween costumes before choosing the right costume for you. That’s kind of the whole point of dressing up for Halloween. You have the perfect excuse to go over the top and surprise everyone with your sexy alter ego.

You will easily find sexy versions of traditional Halloween costumes. If you’re thinking of being a witch or a devil, you can easily make them sexy Halloween costumes. Some of these costumes feature very short tops or bustiers and mini skirts combined with more traditional costume elements. They also often feature sexy materials like vinyl and lace. Add heels or, even better, patent leather or vinyl tall boots with high heels, and you’ve made the costume.

Don’t forget to add fishnets, which come in white, black, and red. Just know that white are a little harder to see. Consider wearing regular nylons underneath the fishnets for more contrast and to give your legs a more toned look. Black fishnets work with basically everything. They’re like the nude of fishnets. Otherwise, another kind of stockings is necessary. Thigh highs are a lot of fun, and extremely sexy.

Accessories and props will make sexy Halloween costumes. If you’re a devil, make sure you have horns. If you’re a cat, mouse, or bunny, get your ears and tail. The ears actually make a great headband and they also are great for hiding a wig line. Halloween is a fun time to try long wigs (or short if you have long hair).

Using Halloween decorations such as candles, jack o lanters, table cloth and settings, Halloween props and Dracula teeth along with a costume makes it possible to tell a whole story. What character is truly complete without his or her props? No matter who or what your costume is seeking to portray, there is most likely a way to play the part more fully with the help of Halloween decorations.

One way to come up with a prop idea is to establish a character and think of something that he or she might want with him or her more often than not. Think of a cowboy. He may want a gun, a campfire nearby or a horse (this last prop might have to actually be played by a friend). An angel could do well to carry a harp in her hands, or a fairy would likely need a wand.

On a more creative note, a way to make a costume that seems serious more amusing is by incorporating the right Halloween props. This will be easier for some people than others, for there are just those who tend to get really inspired about some small detail and it takes them far.

Perhaps, in the case of using props to hint at something, act as an insight or to make a sarcastic statement, decide to dress as a friend, a celebrity or a politician. This person might be well known for an association with something in particular. Carrying around an item that suggests that well-known personality trait (an alarm clock for the guy who is never on time, a mirror for someone vain, etc.) can end up being a big hit as you hear people exclaiming, “Oh, I get it,” followed by laughter.

Halloween began thousands of years ago Celtic people inhabiting the area that is now England, Ireland and Scotland celebrated their new year on November 1st. The Celtic religious order known as the Druids held a great festival each year on the evening before the their new year. This festival was celebrated in honor of the god, Samhain, the Druid god of death and was known as All Hallowtide. The Druids believed in the supernatural and tried to placate the Lord of Death with offerings. This is the action that “Trick-or-Treat” emulates today. The community also sacrificed animals and offered fruits and vegetables so the spirits would keep their distance. The cold and darkness of winter and the presence of spirits are reasons why Halloween is connected with images of death and evil.

Halloween is spooky, but taking Halloween pictures shouldn’t be. From a jack-o’-lantern’s scary stare to frighteningly fun costumes, this holiday offers unique picture-taking opportunities. The tips below will ease your mind about the unusual challenges that Halloween presents for a photographer. And we’ll also show you a few tricks to capture bewitching jack-o’-lantern pictures.

Halloween Craft: Make Halloween Masks With Paper Mache
 by: Susanne Myers

You’ll need just a few things to make just about any mask you can imagine. Those items include balloons, newspaper, wallpaper glue and some acrylic paint. A pair of sharp scissors comes in handy to cut out eyes and mouth. Wear old clothing, or put an apron on both you and your child. Making the mask can get a bit messy.

Cover your work area in plenty of newspaper to protect it from glue and paint. Next, cut several newspapers into strips. Blow up a balloon so it is slightly larger than your child’s head. Now dip a newspaper strip completely in the glue and stick it on the balloon. Continue doing this back and forth until you have the entire balloon covered in several layers of newspaper. Work out any wrinkles as you go along. The more layers of newspaper you have, the sturdier the mask will be.

Finally add any features specific to the mask you are making. For example, if you are making a frog mask, sculpt two ball shapes at the top of the mask that you can later paint as eyes. If you are making a cat, dog, or monkey mask, form the snout and of course don’t forget about ears. The only limit is your imagination.

Allow the mask to dry completely, preferably over night. Once it is completely hardened, start cutting into the mask to pop the balloon. Cut a large enough opening so your child can get his or her head inside the mask, then cut eye and mouth openings. For younger children, you may prefer to cut the back of the mask out completely, and, instead, wrap a piece of ribbon or yarn around the back of the head to secure the mask to allow better air-passage.

Paint the mask in a solid color and allow it to dry completely. Then add details like eyes, nose and lips in different colors. Once that coat of paint is completely dry, it is ready to wear. For a longer lasting and shiny mask, cover the mask in several layers of hodge podge before using it.

Using Costume Contacts
 by: Amanda Baker

Looking for a change from your regular contacts? Want an option that will really have people talking? Costume contacts aren’t just available to movie costume designers anymore. Now even you can have eyes that look alien, or cat-like, or whatever you desire.

Thought many people think of purchasing costume contacts only to match their Halloween costumes, you can actually wear costume contact lenses to just about anywhere you can wear regular contacts! There are many costume contact lenses out there that are affordable and comfortable. However, buyers should keep in mind that some lenses use a toxic paint that can cause eye irritation. You should always go with lenses made from a major contact lens manufacturer.

If you want a contact lens that will really make you stand out, try scleral contacts. Unlike other lenses, scleral lenses cover the entire visible part of your eye to create a great effect. However, these lenses are much more elaborate and expensive. Like normal contact lenses, you should consult your eye care professional to fit costume lenses, even if your vision is perfect. A lot of people often ask if they can see while wearing these lenses, with the exception of certain white-out contact lenses, even if the lenses are opaque, a person can see. There are, however, even white-out lenses that can be seen out of.

There are several warnings about the dangers of costume lenses, but the blame does not lie with the lenses. Some users wear their costume lenses of several days at a time without removing them. They share their lenses with friends, or put them in without washing their hands. Costume contact lenses should be treated with the same respect that you would treat a regular pair of contact lenses. They shouldn’t be shared and should only be worn for a few hours at a time.

In order to store them, all you need is simple saline solution (or eye drops for contact lenses) and a contact lens case, which can be found in your local pharmacy. Rinse out the lenses in the solution before you insert them in the eyes. Don’t forget to wash your hands first! Soak the lenses in the solution inside your lens case when not in use. Also, it’s highly recommended to change the solution at least once a week, if you don’t intend to use them for long periods of time.

With the proper care, you can use costume contacts to become the alien you’ve always wanted to be – any day of the week.

Actresses of our generation had been given the privilege of representing film classics acting out as Catwoman like Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry. And I must say, they both look stunning and fierce with the smooth black jumpsuits emphasizing their physical sexiness and beauty.

With such an impression it is not surprising why many girls would like to dress up with cat Halloween costumes. If you intend to portray one let me give you some ideas on how to develop the best dressed cat and how to be the right Catwoman.

1. The black jumpsuit. Almost all Catwoman seen in movies wore black jumpsuit polyester outfits. This is perhaps the perfect trademark. The black color gives the illusion of height, sliminess and sexiness. And with its neutrality it fits perfectly into any skin tone and body structure. The color symbolizes the strength of personality, which defines what the cats are. You can even improvise this costume if you do not have the polyester with jeans and a tank top when sexy details.

2. Complementing accessories. To illustrate a cat costume for Halloween in an effective manner, accessories are a must. The mask with the cat ears are the right choices. The mask should be halfway through your face, thus giving that sense of mystery and a black band in which the cat ears would be attached. You can also choose to have the tail, if you want to improve your cat costume. Black gloves are also wonderful accessories. To finish the whole look, black shoes with high heels or perhaps a black heeled boots works wonders.

3. Right cat stance. “Meow” your way to fashion, because what makes a cat a cat is the perfect attitude. Practice being one and feel being a cat. Learn to stretch and growl and say the meow word. It would also be useful to review the latest Catwoman film which Halle Berry portrayed perfectly. You should also take into consideration your personality as to which poses would fit you. Look in the mirror to practice in order to know whether those angles and stance looks wonderful.

Follow these simple suggestions for Halloween this year and you would certainly come up being the perfect Catwoman. You still have months to plan ahead and practice so this time would be the right time to choose an outfit with the correct accessories. You can also use the time to practice those cat poses and sound. Be assured that definitely wow everyone.
