Daenerys Targaryen who? Nobody knew about her in Mexico! I did it anyway and I think it is the best one so far. I loved wearing it and the boots made my entire night very comfortable. The hardest thing to find? The Dragon! (it’s a yugi oh, or digimon thing). The wig was the easy … Read more
Admittedly, we just bought the Elmo suit for my oldest son. My Super Grover 2.0 costume was a labor of love, as was the Oscar the Grouch costume: For Grover, I used adult sized footie-pajamas from Target. I made a red cape from fabric I had lying around. The helmet was a child’s toy knight … Read more
It’s hard to find a costume when you are a female. The movie mean girls is right when they say Halloween is the one night of the year that girls can dress as skanky as they want and other girls can’t say anything about them. Well, we’re not those kind of girls. Also, have you … Read more
Even after 16 years together, my husband and I almost never do couples costumes but this year decided we finally would! We wanted to be Wayne and Garth from Wayne’s World, a nod to how we’re a perfect team. Since I am blonde and we wanted the least wig purchasing possible, I opted to be … Read more
My son wanted to be a Power Ranger MegaZord for Halloween and I had no idea where to begin. No one sells this costume and there were only a couple of ideas online- for adults. These were made of boxes and allowed limited movement, a problem for a seven-year-old. I decided to use foam sheets … Read more

For our Ginger and Gilligan costume – This was a really easy costume to put together. For my husband I got a simple long sleeve red shirt with a white collar and blue pants. And of course, don’t forget the Gilligan hat. For Ginger, I bought a red wig and a long fancy gown. Ginger … Read more
For Wayne: We ordered an official Wayne’s World Hat from eBay, bought a mullet wig and plain black shirt from Walmart, went to a used clothing store for the tightest jeans that we could find (so tight that he couldn’t fasten them!), we ripped the knees of course and wore a pair of converse-looking sneakers. … Read more
I always shoot for authenticity when it comes to costumes, it is the small details that make the difference. So the overalls, boots, and red under armor (to cover up a store bought “muscle shirt”) were the easy parts. I shaved my head, so the Mohawk was attached with double face tape, and the makeup … Read more
Me and a friend decided to do one of the best and funniest skits Saturday Night Live ever had. Took forever to find the right color shirts, sunglasses and wigs. Every costume we do we try to implement a wig. Couldn’t find a wig even close to Justin Timberlake so I had to cut and … Read more
My boyfriend and I fell in love with the HBO show Game of Thrones based off the A Song of Ice and Fire books, so once Halloween rolled around we wanted to take our love to the next level and BE the characters. Although he is not wearing a wig, he is supposed to be … Read more
After being invited to a Halloween party last year, my husband and I decided that we wanted unique – and homemade – costumes. Eventually, we decided on the Muppets, Beaker and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew. First, we bought two white lab coats, and used fabric dye to lightly tint mine (Beaker’s) green. Add khaki pants, a … Read more
