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!

Memorial Day is this weekend and then a month after that is Fourth of July!  Show how proud you are of the good old U S of A by donning a patriotic costume. 

Parades, picnics and fireworks are a big part of both holidays.  With everything going on you’ll have quite a few chances to wear your costume and get everyone into the spirit of the holidays!

Costumes, flags, hats, pins, glasses, Uncle Sam and the Statue of Liberty are just some of the patriotic costumes and accessories you’ll find online at HalloweenExpress.com.  Don’t wait because I think everyone has the same idea this year to flaunt their red, white and blue and costumes are flying off the shelves.  Uncle Sam and Statue of Liberty costumes are really popular and a big hit with children and adults.   They come in all sizes too! 

To find the best costumes online with the best selection on adult costumes and kids costumes look no further than HalloweenExpress.com!

The costumes aren’t the only great things happening at HalloweenExpress.com!  Check out their new and improved website!  It’s amazing and so easy to navigate through.  It makes you wish for Halloween to be sooner than October!  However it’s never too early to start shopping for that perfect Halloween costume.  Remember, the early bird gets the worm (or costume in this case)!

With today’s economic crisis, more and more people will be looking for discounted Halloween costumes for themselves and their children this year.  Well, look no further!  Even with the great low prices at HalloweenExpress.com on their costumes you’ll still find even lower deep-discounted priced costumes, masks, props and accessories in a special section on their website called “Super Saver Costumes.”  There you’ll find amazing costumes for both men and women for just $19.99.  Plus a “Closeout” section with a little bit of everything in it for a fun-filled low-priced Halloween!

Women can dress in an Egyptian Princess costume, a Belly Dancer costume or a French Maid costume.

With Spring right around the corner people everywhere are getting ready for the Easter Bunny.  Kids are getting their baskets ready and coloring Easter eggs.  Pretty soon the Easter Bunny will be at your local mall and your kids are going to want to be there getting their pictures taken.  Or for an easier way of doing it for mom just buy an Easter Bunny costume from HalloweenExpress.com and have a friend wear it over to your house and surprise the kids by having the Easter Bunny come to them!

Ok, so you know the story of Peter Cotontail and all the original Easter shows, but this year I think we girls should put a little twist on the old Easter Bunny look.  Of course we’ll keep the tried and true Easter Bunny for our children, but maybe you want to try something different and exciting for your significant other.  Make this Easter one holiday that your husband won’t soon forget. 

Become a sexy bunny right before his eyes. 

At HalloweenExpress.com you’ll find a great selection of sexy bunny costumes.  From your classic Playboy Bunny costume to a sexy French Maid Bunny costume.  Your husband will love it!  The bunny costumes are great and it’s just one less costume you’ll have to buy at Halloween because you can wear it then as well.   So what are you waiting for??

We’ve had a pretty mild winter so far here in Kentucky, so when the weather man said to plan for snow today, I didn’t think much about it.  Imagine my surprise when I woke up to eight inches of snow covering the ground!  I know that’s probably nothing for some people that live up north, but that’s a lot here in my neck of the woods.  Unfortunately it’s not over either.  The freezing rain is starting up and by tomorrow morning we’re to have another 2-4 inches of snow on top of all that lovely ice!  Like most people I can handle the snow it’s the freezing rain on the roads that I hate!  When is Spring supposed to be here??

Unlike adults, children love the snow – the more the better!  More snow means no school and that in itself is a min vacation for them.  My teen-aged nephew, Taylor (being the little entrepreneur he is) probably loves snow more than anyone I know.  Last week he put this big snow plow on the front of his quad-runner with the anticipation of our first big snowfall.  They live right down the street so first thing this morning he drives down, picks up my son Caden and off they went to plow driveways.  Caden is the front walk snow shoveler.  While Taylor is plowing the driveways, he shovels the walk ways.  Then at the end of the day, they split the money they make so it’s a win win for everybody.  As Taylor always says, “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…”, but me I’m more the “Snow, snow go away…and don’t ever come back”!  I should probably move to Florida!

However, a great way to warm up your significant other this winter is by wearing a nice little number from HalloweenExpress.com this February 14th.  You’ll have no trouble finding love in a Valentine’s Day Cupid costume! 

And don’t forget Mardi Gras is February 24th followed by Read Across America with Dr. Seuss on March 2nd and last but certainly not least the biggest Irish party of the year, St Patrick’s Day on March 17th! 

Superbowl 43 will be played in Tampa Bay on Sunday, February 1, 2009.  That’s only 12 days away!  The Pittsburgh Steelers, who have been in six previous Superbowl games, will play the Arizona Cardinals who will be making their first appearance on the big stage. 

All around the U.S. men, women and children are getting ready for the big game!  Parties are being planned, tickets are being bought and sports bars are getting ready for the crowds.  We’ve always been a big football family and love watching the Superbowl every year.  However, I would enjoy it even more if my favorite team the Cincinnati Bengals were in it, but hey there’s always next year. 

This year we’re going to a Superbowl party at a friend’s house.  It’s an annual party for them and every year they do a different theme.  This year I’m so excited because it’s a “costume” theme party.  And you know me, I can always find a great costume! 

My husband and I have decided to go as referee’s.  His costume is your typical referee costume with black pants and a black/white shirt, however mine is a little bit should we say, sexier than that.  As you know HalloweenExpress.com has some great women’s referee costumes that would definitely make the football players have a little trouble concentrating on the game.  I’ve decided to go with the 3 pc sexy referee costume for my part.  But since it’s a family party I’ll be wearing a pair of my sons cleats instead of the spiked heals.

My son Caden will be wearing the Sports Warrior costume making him seem like a zombie football player and both my daughters are going as cheerleaders.  Olivia wants to wear the Disney Princess Cheerleader costume and Sydney will wear the High School Musical Cheerleading costume.  She thought it was more important to represent East High than the two teams that are actually playing in the Superbowl! 

If you decide to throw a costumed theme party for Superbowl 43 this year, be sure to check out all the great costumes at HalloweenExpress.com.      

The Kings of the world watch out!  There is a new breed of Queen’s out there and the Halloween season brings them out in full regal force!  

As we all know, a Queen is a woman who is considered the best or most important of her kind and keeping in line with that tradition, HalloweenExpress.com has by far the “best” queen costumes to make you feel like the “most important” queen ever! 

So what kind of Queen are you going to be this Halloween?

The beautiful Queen Gorgo costume from the movie “300″,

or perhaps a historical Elizabethan Queen costume,

everyone loves a Beauty Queen,

or every now and then we feel like a Wicked Queen,

or every mother’s nightmare, the Drama Queen,

or the highest monarchyof every household, The Queen Bee.

No matter what kind of queen you decide to be, HalloweenExpress.com has the costume you’re looking for.  Check out all of our Queen Costumes now! 

It’s still not too late to order and get your shipment by Halloween!! 

Ahoy, Matey!  Since the release of the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean” there has become a huge interest in life on the high seas.  Men, women, teens and toddlers all want to be part of the pirate world; captains, buccaneers, privateers and swashbucklers.  From the famous and infamous pirates in history such as Blackbeard and Calico Jack to Hollywoods more notorious rakes, Captain Hook and my favorite, Captain Jack Sparrow.

Pirate costumes are extremely popular this year and here at HalloweenExpress.com you’ll find them in every shape, style, color and size.  It’s a great theme to use if you’re looking for ideas for a family costume or if you’re going with a group of people.  So dress your whole family, mom, dad, brother, sister and even Fido in the finest Pirate costumes around!

Hey All!  Hank here.   Anna needed a short break from all this Halloween madness so I thought I’d write in her blog  — but from a guy’s point of view.   Personally, I think Anna takes this Halloween stuff a little too seriously so my topic today will be . . .  SEXY CELEBRITY HALLOWEEN COSTUME DISASTERS.  Yeah!  We’ll see what Anna thinks when she gets back. 

Every year Halloween comes around and the celebrity magazines are full of the worlds hottest glitterati strutting around as vampires, zombies, witches, and sometimes, each other. Of course, every year those of us who are not quite as hot, popular or wealthy get to mock them mercilessly.

How can these wonderfully attractive celebrities get their costumes so wrong? Surely with lookers such as these they could make any outfit work … right?    

What is my criteria?

1. Sexy, not trashy preferred.
2. Anything meant for a child is just … wrong.
3. Goofy, dumb or idiotic … well, they have the rest of the year for that!

Let’s take a look …

Halloween FAIL – 15 Sexy Celebrities Halloween Costume Disasters

1. The Olsen Twins – The Olsens should be glad that in this case less really is more. Perhaps this was just another way to underline that they are not kids any more? Either way, I am sure they turned heads. Next time rent a complete costume each girls!

The Olsen Twins

2. Alyssa Milano – Alyssa seems to have grabbed her costume from the under-fives section of the Disney store … not that I am complaining!

Alyssa Milano

3. Mariah Carey – This is probably the scariest picture of the lot. Who wouldn’t be afraid being faced by an unhinged bride? 

Mariah Carey

4. Anne Hathaway – Ms Hathaway falls under the “it could have been so much better” category.  An opportunity missed *sigh*.

Anne Hathaway

5. Elisha Cuthbert – Poor Elisha, nobody understood what her costume was meant to be! I for one applaud her for stepping out in Clockwork Orange style.

Elisha Cuthbert

6. Avril Lavigne – What on earth is Avril dressed as? Or is this her usual attire?

Avril Lavigne

7. Heidi Klum – Heidi as the 6 foot tall rat from hell. Or is she meant to be a cat? Wingless vampire bat? 

Heidi Klum

8. Reese Witherspoon – One of the more restrained attempts but she comes off as being dressed like a normal Goth rather than a celebrity in costume. Really, this outfit wouldn’t look out of place in some clubs any night of the year.

Reese Witherspoon

9. Teri Hatcher – Another theft from the children’s section, and here we even see the Toys R Us logo to prove it! She did however manage to squeeze into it. Valiant shoe horn efforts and robust stitching save the day. Just.

Teri Hatcher

10. Paris Hilton – A famous party animal, Paris Hilton can be counted on to give a show. Just not sure how spooky she thought this little Alice in Wonderland number was meant to be.

Paris Hilton

11. Britney Spears – Poor Britney, I feel bad for all the harsh criticisms she has been forced to take, but man, she doesn’t make it easy on herself does she?

Britney Spears

12. Christina Aquilera – Christina keeps it classy in the “Adult Entertainment” mail order catalogue standard “sexy nurse” outfit. Thankfully she somehow pulls it off despite her lack of creativity.

Christina Aquilera

13. Lindsay Lohan – Lindsay left onlookers wondering if this is the before or after shot. Seriously though, was the theme merely substance abuse inflicted bad fashion sense or is there some concept behind this?

Lindsay Lohan

14. Kate Beckinsale – Actually, scratch this one, I rather like it! Hubba hubba …

Kate Beckinsale

15. Fergie – Isn’t this how Fergie always dresses? C’mon girl, make an effort!

Fergie
