Well we made it through the Christmas holiday and now we’re heading straight into the biggest party holiday of the year, New Years Eve! Everybody is making plans for which parties to go to, which dinners to attend and which friends you want to spend the last day of the year with. If you’re past that “party” all night stage then sitting at home with a nice bottle of wine watching the ball drop on tv is the perfect place for you. However, there’s nothing like a wild and crazy costume party on New Year’s Eve to say goodbye to the old and welcome in the new year with family and friends!

Ring in the new year dressed as your favorite Hollywood star, a character from your favortie movie or perhaps even a superhero. The possibilities are endless! Make a political statement and dress up as a president (past or present). There’s plenty of crazy politicians out there that you could dress up as. Take the humorous route and portray a famous sports figure that made headlines this year…Tiger Woods instantly comes to mind!

Be the life of the party and try out a sexy costume from Halloween Express! Make the guys notice and the girls jealous by making this a New Year’s Eve party to remember! And don’t forget the accessories…never underestimate the power of a mask and cape!

Every year Halloween costumes have to keep up with what movies are hot, what actors are in the spotlight and what’s going on in the world around us.  Politics and religion are just as important and play a big role when it comes to picking out your Halloween costume.

Today the hot ticket items as far as costumes and masks are:

  • Superstar – Lady Gaga costumes
  • Blockbuster Movie – Avatar costumes
  • Environmental – BP Oil Spill costume (BP- Bad Planning)
  • Sports – Tiger Woods mask
  • Politics – Sarah Palin mask

So this Halloween wear a costume that brings to the forefront current issues that are on your mind.  However, don’t take it too seriously, for it is Halloween after all and it’s all in fun!

Famous Faces!

Famous Faces Masks

The best part about Halloween, besides chocolate candy, is that it gives you a chance to be someone else for a night.  Have you ever dreamed about being a movie or rock star?  Well, now is your chance - sort of!  With the right mask at Halloween, you can be famous too! 

Halloween is known for being a night of ghosts and goblins, but it’s also a night of famous faces!  Movie stars, politicians, superheroes, animated characters…you will see all of them Halloween night!  Everything from a Barack Obama mask to your favorite late night talk show host masks, you’ll find them all at HalloweenExpress.com.

Halloween masks have come a long way since I was young.  Back then it was simply the plastic face mask with that lovely elastic string that went around your head.  My dad would always have to cut the nose and mouth holes bigger because after having it on for only a few minutes it was steamed up inside and you would be sweating to death.  It made for a long night of running around the neighborhood trick-or-treating.  After a couple houses the mask would end up on top of my head because it was way too hot to wear. 

Today however, masks are quite different.  Made of latex and vinyl, they are comfortable to wear and look and feel real.  What’s nice about masks is that you usually don’t have to even buy a costume to complete the look you’re going for.  The mask says it all!

Presidents Day Party!

Plastic American Flags

We’re trying something new this year with my son Caden and his friends.  Since all the kids are off school on Monday for Presidents Day, I thought we’d let him have a Presidents Day Party and invite all his friends over.  They’re off every year for the holiday, but there’s never anything really going on so we thought this might be something fun to do.

However, there is a little “catch” to the party!  All the boys that come have to wear a President’s mask or they can go all out and come dressed as their favorite President.   It can be any President they want, from George Washington to President Obama AND they have to know at least two important facts about that President.  At first I didn’t think Caden would go for the idea, but after he told his friends about it, they were all for it.  Although I’m pretty sure they’d do just about anything for a party!

Caden suggested we have games and prizes and lots of food.  We’re going to decorate the house with everything and anything red, white and blue with those small plastic American flags everywhere.  It should be a lot of fun and the kids will have a blast!

This year if your kids are off school on Presidents Day, think about throwing a Presidents Day Party for them.  They’ll be having so much fun they won’t even realize they’re actually learning about the different President’s as well!

Here We Go Again!

George Washington Mask

Well, here we go again with another year of adult costumes, kids costumes, teen costumes, tween costumes, pet costumes…well you get the picture!  2010 will be fun and exciting with great accessories and decorations to make every holiday, party and family get together one to remember.

I was filling out my calendar and checking out all the big and small holidays that are coming up in February; Valentine’s Day, Groundhog Day, Presidents’ Day and George Washington’s birthday.  Now those are some great holidays for costumes! 

Presidents’ Day costumes and masks are a big hit in February.   Ask your history teacher if you can put on a play displaying your school’s patriotic side.  HalloweenExpress.com has everything you need to make a really cool shout out to America’s history from the years of former President George Washington to present day President Barack Obama.
