Welcome the Greenest Day in March In Style!

In case you haven’t been paying attention, St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner — Sunday March 17th. The traditions and folklore that surround St. Patrick’s Day go deep into history. The legendary patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick, actually lived way back in the 5th century. St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in Ireland can be traced back as far as the 9th or 10th century and these festivities were then, as now, a time of great revelry amongst the Irish people. The dietary restrictions that were put upon by Lent were lifted just for St. Patrick’s Day so this truly could become a time of great feasting, dancing and of course, drinking! If anyone knows how to throw a good party, it’s likely the folks of the Emerald Isle. The traditions surrounding St. Patrick’s Day continue to this day and are enjoyed by many, of Irish descent or not. Here in the United States, St. Patrick’s Day has become a day to embrace all things Irish, even amongst those who are not actually Irish themselves. So, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day 2013, we’ve put together this handy graphic of Mean, Green Drink Recipes for the occasion. Any of these recipes along with your favorite St. Patrick’s Day attire are ideal for a St. Patrick’s Day parade, an Irish party, or just great fun down at your local pub. May the Luck O’ the Irish always be with you!

INFOGRAPHIC: Snow White vs. The Evil Queen. Who is the Fairest of Them All?

In case you haven’t heard, today the movie ‘Snow White and the Huntsman‘ was released. The movie has a star studded cast including Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron. While the reviews are just now starting to come in, the special effects, production design and Snow White and the Huntsman costumes are said to be outstanding. Whether you see the movie or not most everyone knows the story of Snow White. And according to the mirror in this fairytale, there is only one woman in all the land who is more beautiful than Queen Ravenna – SNOW WHITE. Believing herself to be the rightful most ‘fair’, Queen Ravenna orders Snow White to be killed in the ultimate tale of vengeance. We thought it would be fun to take a look at these two iconic women in this fairytale. Does the mirror speak the truth? Who really is the fairest? You be the judge. Let’s take a look.

INFOGRAPHIC: The Darker Sides of Halloween

Ahhh, Halloween. It’s almost here. This is the time of year when excited children run around their neighborhoods dressed up as pirates, superheros, ghosts and witches shouting, “Trick or Treat” – gathering candy and other treats as they go door to door. It’s also a time for visiting a local haunted house, decorating homes with eerie looking Halloween decorations and of course attending one or more costume parties. It’s all terrific fun for young and old alike. A tradition that millions of people look forward to each year. And indeed, for 99.99% of the population Halloween is good, clean fun. Sadly, there is a darker side to Halloween which is not so nice. Here’s an infographic that takes a look as some of the darker sides of Halloween in history. Let’s hope that for Halloween 2011, calmer minds and cooler tempers prevail so everyone has a ‘Happy Halloween’!

500 Years of Cultural Inspiration

Each year at this time thousands of new Halloween costumes hit the store shelves. Costume manufacturer’s produce these costumes hoping to capture the attention (and disposable income) of the consumer. Many of those new costume designs are based on the latest Hollywood movie blockbuster, a trendy children’s TV character or even the hottest video game of the year. This year it’s Angry Bird costumes. Last year it was Lady Gaga costumes. The year before that it was vampire themed costumes … and so it goes. Seems there’s a never ending stream of gimmicks or trendy costumes introduced each Halloween. However, there’s a segment of the market who prefer the more traditional, classic Halloween costume. These are the costumes based mostly on the past 500 years of cultural inspiration. From princesses to witches to pirates, these costumes have been in existence for nearly 500 years and remain popular to this day.

Here’s an infographic that takes a look back at the costumes of the past 500 years — starting with the 16th Century. This Halloween when you’re out trick-or-treating, take a look around. You’ll be amazed at how many of these costumes are still being worn by today’s trick-or-treaters!
