Ring In The New Year In Style!

Happy New Year

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!

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!

Political Masks – A Sign of the Times

I’ve never been one to get all that worked up about politics.  Perhaps I’m nieve or just not all that interested in the subject matter but it does surprise me at times how far some folks will go to stir things up.   For as long as there have been Halloween masks it seems there’s a certain segment of the public who just love to make a statement by dressing up as a political figure.  Personally I would have thought the demand for these political masks would have subsided after last year’s election but apparently not.  This season it seems there’s a new mask getting a lot of attention recently. It’s called ‘Barakula‘ and according to the manufacturer, it has a striking resemblance to a cross between President Barack Obama and a blood-sucking vampire.  Hmmmmm.  I wonder why the manufacturer chose this name?   The name notwithstanding, depending upon your political persuasion you may or may not find this mask amusing.    To each his own I suppose.  One thing  is for sure, if you’re looking for Halloween costume ideas this year and you can’t make up your mind … you’re sure to get plenty of looks with the Barakula mask.
