School Is In Session!

Sexy School Girl Costumes

Sexy School Girl Costumes

Britney Spear’s video for her song, “Baby One More Time” gave a whole new meaning to the  school girl  uniform.  Girls everywhere were dancing around their rooms with their school uniforms on – minus a lot of material.   As a mother of two young girls, I can tell you this didn’t go over very well at our house.

However, as far as Halloween goes, I think the sexy school girl costumes are great……on women!   They’re just a little too risque for a young girl, but perfect for any woman that wants to take a walk on the wild side!  You can’t really take yourself too seriously in this costume so to me it would be a lot of fun to wear.  You’d definitely get noticed at the neighborhood Halloween party!

HalloweenExpress.com has some really hot little numbers when it comes to school girl costumes.  They have a sexy take on all the schools:

  • Prep School
  • Etiquette School
  • Business School   

Simply throw your hair into a ponytail, pick up a pair a glasses and you’re ready to go.  Oh and don’t forget the thigh-highs!

Michael Jackson – King of Pop

King of Pop Costume Kit

King of Pop Costume KitWhen Michael Jackson died on June 25th, his death came as a shock to his millions of beloved fans across the world.  It’s not surprising then that people are already buying tickets to his upcoming documentary titled “Michael Jackson: This Is It” and it doesn’t even open until October 28.  I think the fact that it’s only a limited two-week run makes a difference too.  Everyone wants to make sure they get in to see it.

This year on Halloween Michael Jackson costumes are going to be a huge hit!  We’re going to see a lot of kids and adults wearing the trade mark sequined gloves, dark sunglasses and white socks.

I have a feeling we’ll be seeing Michael Jackson costumes for a long time to come!  Does Elvis Presley ring a bell?  He died 32 years ago and Elvis costumes are still as popular as ever!

So this year make your Halloween a “Thriller” night by dressing up as The King of Pop!

10 iPhone Apps that will help you survive the Zombie Apocalypse

Yes, these outfits do exist!

Yes, these outfits do exist!

Hands up who has got an iPhone? Ok, hands down. Hands up who thinks it’s the best thing in the world and it has changed your life. That many – really? Well, I have to say, I’m with you. It is a pretty funky piece of kit, isn’t it? It’s the apps that make it, as the advert says, there’s an App for anything.

Well, let’s put it to the test, shall we?

Halloween’s coming and like every year, we’re pretty sure that that means it’s the apocalypse. It’s not all Hershey bars and trick or treat. It’s not even all sexy Barista.

It’s a time when quite possibly zombies will take over the Earth, still feeling confident with your Apps and your iPhone? To help, we’ve got 10 apps that will get you through this uncomfortable time and very possibly turn you into a god in the dawn of the new age and get you your very pick of zombie honeys:

Tube New York

A rough place, the New York Subway system.

A rough place, the New York Subway system.

Let’s face it, if you’re a Zombie, you’re going to be wanting to catch the sites as well as munching brains, so you’d want to stay in the major cities. But this represents a problem. Half the day is light so you’re going to hide down in the subway. So, this App will keep you safe, and navigate the NY subway system without the fear someone would stick a straw into your head and suck.

Allrecipes

Our Zombie friends are misunderstood. They eat brains because that’s all they know. Perhaps they tried chicken once and it was rubbery and undercooked. They have never experienced the joy of polenta. So, when faced with salivating, marauding hordes, show them some nice recipes that you can cook, sans brains. It could turn them, and make you their master. Like Gordon Ramsey.

Do we really need an explanation? Blending is the key to this all. Get some drab threads and moan and crave live brains. A way to stay alive if you’re a coward and want to try out a different culture.

Live off the land

So, the cities are awash with brain eating, unhygienic zombies who smell, frankly, like a Frenchman. This App lets you both live harmoniously. They have the city; you have the great outdoors. Healthy aye?  Perhaps it would stop the obesity epidemic!

Paper Toss

http://www.appstorehq.com/papertoss-iphone-36563/app

Let’s face it. A post apocalyptic world would be pretty boring. No NFL, no sports and probably no E! So in the major gaps between striking up harmonious relationships with zombies using Apps, foraging for food and hiding from vigilantes in armoured cars, there’s a whole lot of nothing going on. A simple game, so it doesn’t take your battery power, but a brilliant one none the less. My best is a paltry 6.

Perhaps all that needs to be done is for everyone to calm down a bit. Listen to some trance and sit down for a while. A nice relaxing app will perhaps revert the zombies back to ‘normal’ people. Well, if they come from Arkansas, good luck with that one.

Did you know that if mammals lived on just rabbit as a food source they would eventually die. Perhaps that’s where Zombies come from. Anyway when trapped by a group of zombies, don’t reach for the shotgun in a Resident Evil style, show them the nutritional  information on a human brain. It might be the reason they’re always tired and have trouble sleeping.

Augmented Reality App

Haven’t heard of this yet? Oh dear, get with web 3.0 man! It’s not going to save you from the zombies as such, but it will make you think twice of blowing their heads away. Snap up your iPhone and you may see that salivating zombie was once Melanie in accounts, as she’s your friend on Facebook. Perhaps you can make her a coffee in the way she liked it and appeal to the final thread of her humanity. Or not.

Flashlight

Not as good, but far cooler.

Powers gone, the national grid is messed up. Those zombies have chewed their way through all the wires somehow, so you need something to light your way, scaring zombies as you do it. This light app will light your way. But beware, it sucks your battery life and with no juice available, you might suffer the consequences.

iPump

No there’s no excuse for being caught by those knuckle draggers on a straight running race, is there? As we’ve already covered, they’ve not got the best diets in the world so even if you’re not Usain Bolt you’ll be alright. But, in your down time escaping these things, best to keep on your toes and work out some more.

And finally…I think you may need a solar charger as well. Obviously.

Well, you’re all set now, aren’t you? Go off into the Zombie world and either become their leader or just survive. Just say you owe it all to the lovely iPhone.

Just Mask It!

Halloween Masks

Halloween Masks

I’ve always said that to complete the look of a Halloween costume you have to accessorize, accessorize, and accessorize.  The right Halloween accessories can give your costume that edge you’re looking for. 

Some accessories you just have to have in order to complete the costume such as; a Dracula’s fangs, Darth Vader’s light saber or Superman’s cape.  Those accessories are as much a part of the overall costume as the costume itself.

In the past, a mask was considered an accessory to any costume.  However, in today’s world of Halloween, a mask IS the costume!  With Hollywood style special effects and foam latex, Halloween masks are incredibly life-like.  With any good horror mask you’re sure to find a little blood, gore and even brain matter for that lovely evil wretched look.

Check out the Top 10 Halloween Masks for 2009!

Masks can also be a simple way to create a costume.  Much of the time the mask speaks for itself in regards to who or what that person is trying to become.   With world politics as usual the political masks definitely speak for themselves and are a huge seller this year.  Barack Obama masks as well as his better half, Michelle Obama masks are flying off the shelves.  Former president’s are also popular.

The old school masks such as; Michael Myers, Scream, Hannibal Lecter or Jason from Friday the 13th films are always a classic at any Halloween costume party.  Famous faces from the big screen and television are sure to get recognized and it’s a simple matter of throwing together an outfit and away you go. 

Humorous Masks

Halloween masks are great for all ages, old and young alike!  Get yours at HalloweenExpress.com now!

“Luke, I Am Your Father!”

Star Wars Costumes

Star Wars Costumes

Wow, how many times have you heard that line before?  Every time you hear any type of heavy breathing it’s always followed by that infamous line by Darth Vader in Star Wars.  I love it – it always makes me laugh!  However, did you know that it’s actually a “misquote”?  The line, from The Empire Strikes Back, was never actually said and is the most misquoted line in movie history!  The real movie quote was, “No I am your father,”  but I think the misquoted quote is so much better!  

No matter what the line,  no one is going to soon forget such great characters as; Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, etc.. from the more than six Star Wars films that have been released since 1977.  The most recent being Star Wars: The Clone Wars; an animated film that follows the Star War saga, was released in 2008. 

Since 1977 Star Wars costumes have always been a classic during the Halloween holiday.  You can never go wrong with a Darth Vader costume or Storm Trooper costume.   Want to have fun?  Go to your next Halloween party with a group of friends all decked out as  Star Wars characters. 

No matter your age, Star Wars costumes are the way to go this Halloween!  Don’t believe me?  Check out the ABC show, The View for great Halloween costume ideas.  This morning they had a catwalk of  awesome Halloween costumes on their show from HalloweenExpress.com; costumes ranging from Vader to Vampires! 

So stay away from the dark side and go to HalloweenExpress.com for all you Halloween costumes needs! 

 They have the largest selection in all the galaxy!
