Cinco de Mayo (May 5th)

Bring out the Margaritas, Fajitas, and Coronas because Cinco de Mayo is here! I was just discussing with fellow coworkers how this would be an excellent work theme and we need to make a party out of it. It’s on a Monday this year so it will be a nice way to start the week and also to celebrate the warmer weather we are finally starting to have. So the plan is we are going to all dress up in Cinco de Mayo Costumes, someone is going to bring in the Guacamole dip for a pre and post lunch snack, and our lunch will consist of Mexican food, Margaritas and Cinco de Mayo party supplies! Woo Hooo! Yes, non-alcoholic margaritas, but hey, they are still good right?! SO pull out the blender and have some fun with it!

Cheers!

Sexy Costumes for a night out on the town

I always thought it would be really fun to have theme nights for girls night out. Every month or as often as your friends get together, have a theme night in place of a regular night out on the town. Get all your friends together and decide on a theme. Better start planning what you are going to wear! Here are my ideas:

1. Behind Bars
These are all costumes related to law enforcement. Everyone in the bar or restaurant will be arrested by this idea. Write out citations for bad pick-up lines, expensive drinks and party crashers! Law enforcement costumes

2. Beer Garden Beautiful
Tavern wenches and beer garden girls have made men all over the world love beer even more. Everyone raise your steins to dressing up! Beer Garden Girl Costumes

3. Wishful Thinking
Dress like creatures that men can only dream about. Fairies will flutter about on your regular Friday night, gracing restaurant patrons with happy thoughts and pixie dust!
Fairy Costumes

4. That's my favorite show!
Nothing is a conversation starter more than someone showing up at your favorite bar dressed as your favorite TV character. Staying in character and showing off your bad acting skills wins bonus points. No autographs please.
TV and Movie Costumes


I can feel the fun coming on already. I think I will start with Wishful thinking...

Hot New Sexy Costumes for 2008

We at BuyCostumes.com are proud to announce our New Sexy Costumes for 2008! I realize most of the costumes are currently not available, but who doesn’t want a little sneak peak? If these costumes do not make you excited for Halloween 2008, I honestly don’t know what will! OKAY, maybe I am a little biased being a young woman, but at the same time I really do believe in fashion and I know sexy is always in. Our new Racy Robin Elite and Mummy Mama are just a couple of the hot Halloween costumes for women. In addition, I would also highly recommend browsing over our new sexy costumes for men. A couple of favorites are either Sgt. Lou Tenet or the Mile High Pilot Hugh Jorgan, but just search for your own personal favorites!

One last thing I must mention about Halloween 2008 is most people will at least go out two times since it falls on a Friday! I have great news for those of you who want to wear different costumes, but do not necessarily want to buy two. BuyCostumes.com has you covered with our new sexy reversible costumes.

Cheers!

Donate your kid's old Halloween costumes!

It is the same old story every year - your kids wear their Halloween costumes for one Halloween and then want to be something completely different the next year. That's fine, kid's interests and tastes change and they outgrow old costumes. It is to be expected. But what happens to all of those old costumes? If it's anything like my house, they'll sit in the closet for years and won't see the light of day ever again. Well, that isn't putting them to good use at all.

Rather than letting them rot in your closet, donate them! Here is a short list of places that will accept your old children's costumes and put them to good use:

• Goodwill
• The Salvation Army
• Your local schools
• Children's Hospitals - Throughout the nation
  
• Your local churches

Hooray! The move is complete! (Almost)

Beginning last Wednesday we began moving into our new distribution center. While the main office and call center were up an operational on March 31st, it took a lot more effort to set up a 360,000 sq. ft. warehouse. I’m proud to say the long hours and extra effort by all teams, including IT, Marketing, Customer Service, Direct, Overhead and of course the warehouse staff themselves – got it done.

The picture on the Left shows some of the team members celebrating the last box shipped in our old facility on Wednesday.

On the Right are Chris and Dave witk the first box shipped in our new building today.

I want to thank everyone who helped with the final push this weekend and those who helped leading up to the move. It was a lot of work, but we did it on time and with few if any hiccups. Great job everyone!!
