You may think it’s a little early to start thinking about Halloween, but it’s already the end of August and I know people who start planning what they’ll do next Halloween almost from November 1st.
It’s a big deal.
I mean really. If you celebrate Halloween it’s one of the only times of year when you can truly be someone else. Dress yourself up, even take on a slightly different personality and get out there and have a good time.
In one of my career incarnations I was a makeup artist. I suppose I still am as I have the training behind me. As a result of my skills I was always quite popular come Halloween. Friends and family would come over to have me do their makeup and add some special effects to their costumes.
I guess you can tell that Halloween is still one of my favorite celebrations. I haven’t actually started to plan this years Halloween celebration, but I suppose it’s time to start thinking about it.
The Costume Cauldron has a huge variety of Halloween costumes and items to decorate your home with, in fact it’s said that they have 14,000 Halloween related items.
They have everything from Sexy Halloween Costumes, to kids costumes, costumes for couples, movie or celebrity related costumes, funny costumes and so on. Just about anything you can think of really. They even have theatrical makeup and accessories to complete your look.
I think the year that I had the most fun helping people with their costumes was the year we all dressed up as the living dead or zombies. I had a lot of fun doing the makeup for that. The Costume Cauldron has a great zombie rot costume that would let anyone look like the living dead!
My sister always had great costume ideas.
One year she had me help her dress up as a tampon. Unfortunately it was supposed to be a used one! Another year she went as a turd. Yes you heard me right.
Now I didn’t search all that hard for one of those types of costumes but I did find an outhouse costume! Isn’t that great?
If you enjoy Halloween as much as I do visit the Costume Cauldron and see if you can find something interesting to wear this year.
I’d love to hear what you might be dressing up as!
It seems Halloween is such fun. We don’t celebrate it here in Portugal, although some Pubs and Bars make Halloween theme parties. The only time of the year people dress up with fantasy costumes is in Carnaval (carnival) in February or March depending on the year.
Yes, your Halloween items is fine. I agree with you this best season. thax.
I love Halloween, although it is frowned upon here in England.
I LOVE halloween – always have – and I think it is because my parents had fun with it when I was a kid. Our famlly ritual was to make our own costumes – one year my mom made a robot costume for my brother – it looked great – but he could not walk or bend his legs!!! One year I made both mine and my brothers costume myself – when my brother looked into the mirror he screamed and almost fainted at the terrifying werewolf in the mirror! I have carried on the tradition of making my costumes for me, my husband and my kids.
I think it is such fun. And like you, I have already started to think about what I will do this year!
Trick or treat!
Halloween is always the most fun for me because that means my step brothers and I can come up with a group costume. Always a hit. 🙂
halloween is a very fun time with all the pumpkin carving and dressin’ up in costumes
