What’s hot right now on TV will be equally provocative on you this Halloween, and presently, everything tempting has to do with “Pan Am”. This alluring throwback to the chic ’60s reintroduces us to days of the sexy airline stewardess. Make your fellow holiday revelers remember exactly why that vixenish persona came to be, dressed in your very own Pan Am flight attendant costume.

Feminine styling of the 1960s had everything to do with the tiny-waisted, curves-in-all-the-right-places provocative, as women certainly dressed the part. Look like a retro fox instantly by donning your own Pan Am ensemble this Halloween. You could find a version of your Pan Am theme online at Amazon or some other seasonal costume website, but it’s so easy and fun to pull this look together on your own by following a few simple steps to make it totally yours.

The major components include a provocative pair of black heels, a tightly fitting powder blue pencil skirt, a snugly suggestive white short-sleeved button-up blouse, and lastly, a perky ’60s inspired blue Pan Am pill box cap, enticing stockings, and short white gloves to really get yourself into the subtly seductive roleplay of it all. A little blazer-type jacket in coordinating powder blue completes the look, if only worn as you transport yourself from your dressing room to your fabulous Halloween party. You should style your hair sleekly beneath your cap and keep your makeup fresh with come-hither red lipstick, stylish liquid eyeliner, and flushed-cheeked rouge. All of these elements will be easy to snag at any retail chain, though for the fetching hat, you could simply create your own out of light blue construction paper. Merely cut a circle the diameter of your head, then affix a strip of that same colored paper around the edge of the circle to construct the sides of the cap. The last step requires you to cut a gold-colored circle out to affix to the front of your hat. Write the words “PAN AM” on this makeshift globe and sketch some quick curving lines on the medallion by just Googling the Pan Am image for reference.

Don’t forget: Pan Am stewardesses made it glamorous to serve cocktails while flying the friendly skies, so feel free to keep a glass of bubbly on your person throughout the evening.

When you think of Vanessa Hudgens you do not exactly think of a Grey Wolf-Navajo but her and other celebrities such as Pink and Ke$ha have got in the Spirit Hood trend. If you are researching what to wear to your Halloween party at the office this year you may consider this fun and easy outfit. Not only is it a fashion trend where you can wear it in the cold weather and prance around like you just meet up with a designer for lunch but it could be versatile for a dress-up party as well. Anyone who is planning to be Ke$ha this Halloween must consider these hoodies with the “Animal” look. After-all it is the name of her album and keeps in her theme of being a wild girl.

If you have a Husky dog and get the denim Husky hood that would surely make them in the playful mood. Some of the other styles include a Panda, Brown bear, Lion, Wolf, Owl, and smaller hat versions that do not include the paws.

The leaves are beginning to change color, the air is getting a bit crisper, and signs of fall are all around. You know what this means: Halloween is just around the corner! Here are some costume ideas for you and your significant other that are sure to fit whatever type of party you have on your calendar.

If you have a professional function that you will be attending with co-workers and your work day superiors or a family friendly Halloween event, you might want to go for something a bit more conservative. There’s always the coordinating pirate option. You could go for the western theme and dress as a cowboy and cowgirl, or more specifically, dress as Jesse and Woody from Toy Story. If you are up for a little extra color in your world, get crazy with the blue spray paint and go as a smurf and Smurfette. If you want to roll back the clock a bit, dig up a black leather jacket and a poodle skirt and cruise into your party in 1950’s fashion. There is a long list of TV shows that you could use for your inspiration. Marge and Homer Simpson would be sure to liven up any costume party. Fred and Wilma Flintstones costumes could take your party-going friends all the way back to caveman times. The fun, classy, entertaining and office appropriate costume options really are limitless.

Now, if you are attending an adults only party of good friends, your costume choices might be a bit more liberal. There is the classic plug and socket, Hugh Hefner and one of his Playboy bunnies, or Dr. Feel Good and his scantily clad nurse. You could also try an extra sexy version of lots of otherwise conservative characters. Little Red Riding Hood and the big bad wolf or policeman and woman are just a couple of the many options.

If you want to get really dressed up and look nice, consider all of the prince and princess options. Dress as Belle and bring either the Beast or the prince along. Find a very long, blonde wig and dress as Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. Go with the under the sea theme, and dress as Aerial and prince Eric. You could even go as Snow White and either her prince, or one of her adorable dwarf friends. There is a long list of prince and princess options if that sort of thing suits your costume style.

Regardless of what type of character you choose, the key to pulling off any costume is to really be in character. Have fun with it and play it up with each other. People will love your costume regardless of how simple or extravagant if you get into character and have a great time with it. Halloween is a great opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and have a blast being somebody that you’re not. Now that you have lots of fabulous costume ideas, it is time to get to the costume store and snag your ensemble of choice. If your creative juices are really flowing, you may want to just skip the costume shop and head straight for the craft store to start choosing fabrics and accessories to create something even better than what you can buy. In any case, have fun with it, and a happy Halloween to you!

 

Michele Bachmann Crazy Eyes Costume

If you are looking for an outlandish member of the political party to be this Halloween, you’ve come to the right place. The only problem is deciding on which one. The gunslinger Governor Rick Perry from Texas, Sarah Palin, or the Tea Party favorite Michele Bachmann.

Michele Bachmann is a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives, who represents Minnesota’s 6th congressional district. She is known for her radical thinking, “off-kilter” comments, and is fully aware that she has been labeled a “Kook”. Becoming her for a day really isn’t that difficult. Let’s get started!

Clothes:
1. Find your self a dark auburn wig with layers, which comes a few inches below the shoulder, preferable with a sweeping bang.
2. Apply natural toned face makeup. Keeping the eyelashes thick with a few coats of mascara, a thick black line of eyeliner on top of the eye led. Apply a nice layer of pinkish blush, with a neutral layer of lipstick (something pink or beige).
3. She doesn’t seem to stick to the typical pant and skirt suits, and likes a variety of colors. Just try and find something conservative. If it’s a skirt or dress, always keep it below the knees!
4. Don’t forget the accessories! If you want something more bold than the typical diamond or pearls studded earring. Try dangling pearls or large stones. Further accessorize with a necklace, something bold but not hip. If in doubt, if your grandmother would wear it, you’ve got the right accessory.
5. Next, the shoes. Depending on your choice of clothes will determine your shoes, just makes sure they are no more than 3 inches.

Facial Expression/Mannerisms:
1. Every so often, give a surprised wide eyed look. Kind of like psycho eyeballs, with a little spooky and a touch of crazy.
2. Facial expressions should be kind of erratic and strange, sort of like you just tasted something really bad.
3. Pop a couple of aspirin here and there.
4. Throw you hands up in the air widely when trying to make a point.

Conversation/Quotes:
1. Make sure to disagree with anything Democratic
2. Bash anything Obama does or says
3. Say off the wall things that have no logic. Here are a few examples of things she has said in the past (these quotes are all courtesy of “The HuffingtonPost.com”), but they can be found all over the internet:
a. “I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president Jimmy Carter. And I’m not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it’s an interesting coincidence”
b. “Normalization [of gayness] through desensitization. Very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders is take a picture of ‘The Lion King’ for instance, and a teacher might say, ‘Do you know that the music for this movie was written by a gay man?’ The message is: ‘I’m better at what I do, because I’m gay.’”
c. “The President of the United States will be taking a trip over to India that is expected to cost the taxpayers $200 million a day.”

Need to dress a couple or group?
Try one dressing up as Michele Bachmann and the other her Anti-Gay Husband who seems gayer than a $2 bill. You could also dress one up as Elvis since she wished him a Happy Birthday on his day of passing. Either way you could make a funny costume event out of this crazy lady.
