Next week on January 20, 2009, President-elect Barack Obama will be sworn-in as the 44th President of the United States.  The first President to ever do this was of course President George Washington on April 30, 1789.  What I think is really interesting is that the ceremonial traditions that were established by George Washington at his first presidential inauguration have been followed into present day, such as;

  • using a Bible when taking the oath of office
  • reading an inaugural address
  • attending an inaugural ball

Attending the 2009 Inauguration is a hot ticket by any means.  Hotels around the Washington D.C. area have been booked to capacity for months now.  A lot of people will be throwing parties and celebrating this historic event with their family and friends. 

If you’re thinking about having an “Inauguration 2009″ party, HalloweenExpress.com is the perfect place to get all your Presidential party needs!  With the help of some of their great presidential costumes and masks, you can actually have President-elect Barack Obama at your party along with Bill and Hillary Clinton.  How cool would it be to have President’s George Washington and Abraham Lincoln there as well, not only in spirit but with the help of an amazing mask from HalloweenExpress.com they can be there in person as well! 

This will be one Inauguration party that your friends will be talking about for years to come!

Do You Have a Face for Halloween?

For Halloween most people are looking for a costume that will turn them into something or someone else.  If that’s the case then there is nothing else that can change how you look completely like a latex mask. 

I remember when I was young we always wore the plastic mask with the elastic band that went around your head.  Remember those?  I hated those things!  Even before we headed out to trick-or-treat in the neighborhood my mask would be filled with moisture just from me trying to breathe out that little tiny hole they cut out for the mouth.  My dad would always have to cut the hole bigger for the mouth and eyes just so I could see and breathe properly.  Three doors down from my house and I would already have the mask pulled up and sitting on top of my head instead of down on my face. 

Thankfully the mask design has come a long way since then!  Today, latex masks are so unbelievably real looking and are much more comfortable to wear.  What I like about a mask is that really with a lot of them that’s all you need as far as the whole costume goes.  For instance with a lot of the famous faces Halloween masks all you need is the mask and people will automatically know who you’re portraying without really giving a thought to the rest of your clothing.  If  you’re going with a person in politics whether it be a President, Governor, or any other political figure, just put on a suit and tie and you’re ready to go.  Unless of course your political figure is a female, then a dress suit would be fine (anyway you get the picture).   By the way, with the Presidential race in full swing now is a great time to become your favorite Republican or Democratic nominee by wearing one of our Barack Obama or John McCain Halloween masks. 

 

On Halloween if you see someone trick-or-treating with a hockey mask on you automatically know it’s Jason from Friday the 13th movies without even looking to see what clothes he’s wearing.   

So this year try one of our amazing life-like Halloween masks with your costume.  We have so many great masks to choose from at HalloweenExpress.com the hardest thing you’ll have to do is decide which one you want!

You Can Be President for a Day!

I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July weekend!  We had a lot of rain during the day on Friday so it put a little damper on the pool party, but at least it cleared up enough in the evening for the neighborhood fireworks show to go off as planned.   The kids figured you get wet when you swim anyway so they spent most of the day swimming in the rain and had a blast.  The next holiday in line is Labor Day on the first of September then of course on to my favorite – Halloween!  Actually in approximately 115 days it will be Halloween.  I know that sounds really far off now, but as we all know time flies and before you know it Labor Day will have come and gone and we’ll be heading into October.

With the political race for the US President in full swing you can bet we’ll see a lot of people dressing up as Barack O’Bama and John McCain this Halloween season.  Whether you’re voting for your favorite Republican nominee or favorite Democratic nominee all you need is the full vinyl mask that you’ll find here at Halloween Express, add to that a suit and tie and you’re set!   It’s really a very simple costume that will make a big statement this year.  By October the Presidential race will be hotter than ever! 

If it’s Presidential masks you’re looking for, but would rather step back a year or two, or six or ten then don’t let that stop you.  Check out our Bill and Hillary Clinton masks or Richard Nixon and Ronald Regan.  For a more up-to-date look you could always go with the current President George Bush Jr mask.

        

 No matter which Presidential mask you choose just remember to have fun this Halloween season.  Just because you’re President for the night doesn’t mean you have to act like one!
