Pop singer Katy Perry knows a thing or two about the mesmerizing effect of the Peacock and perhaps you should, too.  This stunning costume is so ground shakingly beautiful that you will be tempted to strut your stuff in it on many occasions aside from Halloween.  From the front, the look is simply eye popping–but once you turn around the back is even more jaw dropping, with sexy back lacing and a full plumage of iridescent feathers that teasingly sit right on your lovely booty.  This costume–simply put, is a showstopper and will pack a wallop in the sex appeal and architecture department, with very little effort on your part. 

Considering a sexy character with a bit more of a sordid as well as dark past?  What could be better than the tortured vampire?  Torn between love and bloodlust this character is ever fighting her desire for human blood in order to keep her true love…alive.  Styled a bit like a Goth Saloon girl from the Wild West, this vampiress has a definite sexier twist on an old classic Halloween favorite.

Don’t let the name fool you, as there is nothing innocent about this little Red Riding Hood.  She’s ready to deal with any and all Big, Bad Wolves that come lurking around, whether they are wearing sheep’s clothing or not.  She’s sexy, savvy and ready to head to Grandmother’s house.

A new female version of the lonely and reclusive character of Edward Scissorhands, this sexier girl version of the character, known as Miss Scissorhands, is going to turn a lot of heads this Halloween!  The dress has sultry, gothic styling and the gloves have faux scissor-like appendages just like Edward did in the original movie.  Bring back the immortal, lovelorn Edward with your own sexy version of this dark, seductive and misunderstood character!

Take your suspect and put him under house arrest while wearing our super sexy rendition of one of society’s ultimate power figures.  With a flirty ruffle hem dress and a very flattering and sexy waist cinching belt, this ‘officer of the law’ is like none you’ve ever seen before.  The costume itself is likely to bring the bad boys to their knees without an inappropriate use of force.  The included pouch may be for his heart—with this costume you certainly are likely to capture his.

Bring out your super sexy side this Halloween with one of these great costume characters.  Trick or treat?  We think it’s definitely all about the treats.  Halloween candy, indeed!

However, between now and Easter we do have a little holiday called St Patrick’s Day, you might have heard of it?  I love St Patrick’s Day!  Between the parades, the parties and the celebrations it’s one heck of a fun holiday!  Bring on the Leprechauns, shamrocks and green beer!  St Patrick’s Day is next Thursday, March 17th and whether your Irish or not, head on out and celebrate!  Your corner pubs will probably be serving Irish food, playing Irish music and of course serving green beer!

Don’t forget to dress the part this St Patrick’s Day!   HalloweenExpress.com has everything you need from your luck of the Irish hats to deluxe Leprechaun costumes.  Surprise your friends and show up decked out as a little piece of Irish folklore!

With a Mardi Gras costume you can bet you’ll be the hit of the party.  The more sequins and feathers the better.  To make your party one to remember decorate in Mardi Gras colors of purple, green and gold.

Us everyday folk aren’t the only jesters to partake in a little Mardi Gras fun, even the Hollywood celebrities love Carnival!

Valentine’s Day is also a big day for marriage proposals.  With love in the air, the popular question, ”Will you marry me?” is heard loud and clear by men of all ages across the country.  With so much romance going around it’s not hard to believe the the most famous of Valentine symbols is of course, the infamous Cupid, the Roman God of Love.

What makes Valentine’s Day so special is that all ages get into the spirit of the holiday from children to adults.  Children have party’s at school where they make special Valentine boxes and exchange Valentine’s Day cards.  It’s so much fun to watch my children pick out just the right cards for their friends at school.  You have everything from Sponge Bob to Justin Bieber Valentine’s Day cards for kids to choose from.  HalloweenExpress.com even has a kids costume that two children can wear.  It’s a BFF (Best Friends Forever) styrofoam heart that is separated down the middle. 

It’s the perfect Valentine’s Day costume for my daughter Olivia and her best friend, Savanna.

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!

As you know Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year, but I have to admit Christmas runs a close second. Who doesn’t like getting presents! Of course for my children the favorite part of this holiday is Santa Claus. The chance to sit on Santa’s lap and recite word for word their Christmas list is a big deal to them. They start those lists right after Halloween so as not to forget any toy or piece of technology they see on television that they just have to have.

They actually get to see the big red guy on more than one occasion. It starts with Breakfast With Santa, then a trip to the mall to see Santa’s Workshop and last buy not least he never fails to stop by our family Christmas party on Christmas Eve.

If you can’t take your kids to see Santa, then bring Santa to you.  Santa suits are in high demand right about now and are hotter than ever!  And Santa is not just for children anymore.  This year you’ll see Saint Nick at office party’s, out clubbing with his elves and I’ve even seen him scuba diving at the Aquarium!  When Santa is entertaining adults he needs plenty of assistance – this is where the sexy Santa helpers come into play.  These costumes are great…and why should Santa have all the fun!

No matter what you decide to dress up as this Halloween, one way to ensure you get the most out of your costume is to complete the look with a costume kit.  These kits are great for any costume!  Just think about it…with the “kitty” costume kit you can work up a costume for a little girl – just add a pair of black leggings and a black turtleneck.  If you’re thinking a little sexier for an adult cat costume - just add a black skin tight catsuit and a pair of over the knee black high heeled boots and you’re all set!  Either way by adding the Cat Costume Kit of gloves, headband with ears and tail you’ve just turned yourself or your chid into a Kitty Cat!  What kind of cat is simply up to you!

Costume kits are an easy and inexpensive way to transform yourself into character; bunny ears, butterfly wings, devil horns and even a pocket protector (for the nerd look).  With the Michael Jackson Kit you can turn yourself into the “King of Pop” within seconds! 

Just like in any fashion, accessories make the outfit!

Sunday night was the MTV Music Video Awards and Lady Gaga stole the show!  I’m not talking about her crazy out-of-this-world sense of style with the outfits she wore, but also for the eight moonmen awards she took home with her! 

Lady Gaga may be eccentric but she is also extremely smart and talented.  How else could she sell over 15 million albums and 51 million singles worldwide?  I’m telling you there are a lot of her so-called “little monsters” (hard core Gaga fans) running around out there!  Winning all these video awards has just pushed the sales for her Halloween Lady Gaga Costumes through the roof! 

This Halloween you’re going to see young and old alike sporting some wild and crazy Lady Gaga costumes.  Join in the fun and become one of MTV’s biggest stars for a night by celebrating Lady Gaga style!

The vampire craze has always been there, just not as popular as it is now.  In the late 90′s, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel were two televisions series that brought vampires into the spotlight.   Then in November 2008 the Twilight Series began and nothing has been the same for those blood thirsty lovers of the night.

The original movie and first in the series of 4 books to be released onto the big screen was “Twilight” in November 2008, followed by “New Moon” in November 2009 and soon to be released “Eclipse” at the end of this month.  Isabella “Bella” Swan and Edward Cullen have a huge following of “Twi-Hards” that live and breathe Twilight Saga!

Other vampire related television series are also moving up in popularity;  True Blood on HBO and The Vampire Diaries on CW.  On June 20th, ABC is trying their hand at vampire shows by premiering “The Gates” about an upscale neighborhood of what else…vampires.  Vampires are coming out of the woodwork and everybody is loving it! 

Halloween has always been a great holiday for vampires…vampire costumes that is!  Vampires of every age, old and young come out for some Halloween fun.  Good thing that trick-or-treating is at night.  That way the vampires feel right at home!  At HalloweenExpress.com you’ll find every imaginable vampire and vampiress costume for Halloween this year!  Whether you’re looking for a Queen of Darkness Costume or a Twilight Bite Teen Costume, you’ll find it here!

With one more movie to be released (after Eclipse) in the Twilight franchise, “Breaking Dawn”, you can bet the thrill of the vampire will not be ending anytime soon!
