Jersey Shore Cast

Jersey Shore Cast

Wow I can’t believe how big Jersey Shore has become!  It’s like watching a train wreck, you don’t want to but you just can’t help yourself.  MTV really hit the big time with this little reality series about a group of twenty-something year olds living together and partying it up (GTL – gym, tan, laundry) for the summer in Seaside Heights, NJ.  Can you believe season one premiered in December 2009 to 1.37 million viewers and season 3 premiered in January 2011 with record ratings of 8.45 million viewers!  It’s so popular that the cast of Jersey Shore made Barbara Walter’s “10 Most Fascinating People” list!  

Because it’s such a huge hit with high school and religiously watched by college students, it’s no surprise that the stars of Jersey Shore were popular Halloween costumes last year.  Snooki was the most popular by far!  It’s an easy costume – lots of poof in the hair, lots of bronzer and a short skirt and you’re ready to go!  Pauly D was also fun to portray with tons of hair gel and Ed Hardy t-shirt and jeans and you’ve got the look.  You couldn’t have made up a better cast of characters for all the college students to dress up as for Halloween. 

Season one and three were filmed at the Jersey Shore and season two was filmed in Miami, Florida.   But wait, there’s still another season to come with the group heading to Italy for season four.  Now that should be interesting!  I don’t think we’ve heard the last of Snooki, JWoww, Sammi, Pauly D, the Situation, Ronnie and Vinny!

The Flintstones

The Flintstones

Flintstones, meet the Flintstones, They’re a modern stoneage family.
From the, town of Bedrock, They’re a page right out of history.
Let’s ride, with the family down the street, Through the courtesy of Fred’s two feet.
When you’re, with the Flintstones, Have a yabba dabba doo time, A dabba doo time, You’ll have a gay old time!

Wow, how many times have you heard that theme song and sung along with it?  I grew up watching The Flintstones and loved it!  It was so much fun to see Fred and Barney unknowingly get themselves in over their head in almost every episode only to have Wilma and Betty lovingly get them out of it.  Who could forget Pebbles and Bam-Bam and of course their adorable pet dinosaur Dino!

Yesterday was the 50th anniversary for everyone’s favorite modern stone-age family from the town of Bedrock, The Flintstones!  Even Google acknowledged this special occasion by creating a Flintstone “doodle” on their homepage.  The classic cartoon premiered on ABC on September 30, 1960.

Pebbles CostumeGreat family cartoons such as The Flintstones and The Jetsons have always inspired people to dress up as their characters for Halloween.  It’s not unheard of to see Fred and Wilma, Barney and Betty or even Pebbles and Bam-Bam trick-or-treating on Halloween night or winning first prize at costume parties!  Famous cartoon characters that make up television and movie costumes are always popular with both children and adults alike!

“It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!”

It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

I love Halloween!  It’s a holiday for everyone, ages 2 to 92.  There are so many fun things to do from going out to haunted houses and pumpkin patches to staying home and watching all the great Halloween shows on television.  It’s a great time to get together with you family and friends, make some popcorn and enjoy the shows!

One of our all time favorite Halloween shows is by far, “It’s the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown“.  It’s a tradition in our family that goes way back to when I was young.  I hope my children watch it with their kids when they grow up and have their own families.  I know Charlie Brown will still be around even then!

It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

Did you know that the Charlie Brown Halloween show has been on the air since October 1966?  It’s been on every year since then during the month of October.  That’s got to tell you something!  The show is adorable!  Who can resist Linus and his hope to see The Great Pumpkin? 

All the Peanuts characters are wonderful; Charlie Brown, Linus, Sally, Lucy, Peppermint Patty, Pig Pen, Marcie, Schroeder and of course Snoopy and Woodstock.  Charles Schulz really knew what he was doing when he invented all these great characters.

HalloweenExpress.com now has a whole line of Peanuts costumes that will make a great theme if you’re looking for group costumes or even if you’re going on your own.  Looking for a Charlie Brown costume, then look no further!  Go as the whole Peanuts gang for Halloween this year!

Shrek Costumes

Shrek Costumes

Ever since May 2001, the lovable ogre Shrek has become a household name.  Today, with three more movies added to the franchise, Shrek and his friends are more popular than ever!

All the movies are hilarious!  I can’t say enough good things about them.  It’s such a great animated film that you can take the whole family to.  My kids loved it and I think my husband and I were laughing even harder than they were. 

For the past eight years, Halloween costumes for the Shrek characters fly off the shelves during the holiday and this year will be no different.  There’s so many great characters to choose from when it comes to picking out your Halloween costume; Princess Fiona, Donkey, Puss in Boots and the Three Blind Mice are so much fun to dress up as.  

Since the latest movie in the series was just released a couple months ago called “Shrek Forever After“, Shrek and his friends are back on the scene!   This Halloween make it a family night by everyone dressing as a character from the movie!  Dad can be Shrek, mom can be Princess Fiona and have the kids dress up as Donkey, Puss in Boots or even the Gingerbread Man.  The possibilities are endless and fun!
