The show was amazing, full of acrobatics, amazing costumes, and then … Read more
Yeah, those are words you should never utter around me. As a kid my mother never “bought” us costumes per say. We always got random items on clearance (ie. My awesome blue glitter wig that I used every year to be an alien, a rock star, one of the Jem’s Holograms etc) . This last Halloween … Read more

Their use of electroluminescent wire looked like a fun idea and up my alley, so I ran with it for a Halloween costume. I read for a few hours online on how the wires are cut and soldered and … Read more

Me and my husband had so much fun making this costume that we decided this year we are going to perfect it a little more. First we had to find a “bubble” umbrella, they sell them at golf … Read more
My daughter and I went as Mommy and Baby Jellyfish this Halloween. The glowing jellyfish costume idea was a hit. And we had comments and compliments all weekend long! The legs/tentacles/stingers/not-sure-what-they’re called were glowing too, but you can’t see it very well in the pictures. These cost me about $28 total to make both costumes. The … Read more
