Top Ten Sexy Costumes To Buy Your Girlfriend for Halloween

Ever wondered why hot and sexy women are called vamps? It is not because they have a thirst for blood, turn into bats or can hypnotize people into obedience. They are vamps because they have a taste for adventure, turn into complete strangers or can seduce anyone into obedience.



These women have fascinated men throughout centuries. But there is one little truth that men should note - all women are naturally vamps. This truth is easy to forget when looking at the modestly dressed girlfriend with her hair severely pulled back in a bun.

However, the seductive stranger is still within her, hidden and simmering secretly. You've met that stranger before and you might just meet her again this Halloween (and beyond!). All that is needed is to have the girlfriend wear a sexy Halloween costume. After all, there is no better way to bring out the vamp than to assure her that she is just acting out the personality of the costume she wears.

1. Slave or Master Your girlfriend can wear the unforgettable Princess Leia costume when Jabba held her as a slave. The costume consists of a bikini-style top and bikini bottoms. The top is intricately detailed with gold straps while the bottom has a floor-length loincloth and cinched by a gold-tone belt. A golden colored choker and a thin armband complete this sexy slave picture, except that on Halloween night, she will likely be the master.



2. Sexy Techie Based on the long hours you spent in front of the computer, your girlfriend probably thought that you find the flat screen monitor extremely sexy. You have to disarm that notion and dress her up in the Techie Becky costume. Wearing a dress that snaps in front, with white thigh-high stockings, hair bows, and chained glasses, she is definitely more alluring than any inanimate electronic device.

3. Tomb Raider or Heart Raider Most women dont realize this but men are attracted to strong women who take control. With a Lara Croft costume, your girlfriend can let loose her bossy personality while you enjoy the vision of tank tops and short shorts. This tomb raider costume also includes a utility belt, two gun holsters, fingerless gloves, boot covers, and a backpack.



4. Wednesday and Every Other Day The weirdness of the Addams family is fun to watch but the character of Wednesday, played by Cristina Ricci, is mesmerizing. During Halloween, you can have your own Wednesday in a costume made of a fitting long sleeve half top and a short black skirt. The half top has a white collar and the sleeves end in white cuffs, accented by a silver hook. The black skirt is pleated and has silver accents. With striped stockings, your girlfriend completes the Wednesday outfit.



5. Officer on the Loose On Halloween, you can become the juvenile delinquent being guarded by a sassy police officer. This police officer, however, does not belong to any precinct. She is your girlfriend, wearing a Busted costume. The costume is essentially a knit-dress that zips in front and with a Busted bra top. The accessories include a name badge, a belt, gun, pair of handcuffs, baton, and fingerless gloves.

6. Prep School Fantasy All men looked fondly to those days when they are fantasizing about the brazen prep school rebel. Her favorite place is the schools detention and it was tempting to join her for the day. This Halloween, your girlfriend can bring back those good old days again by wearing the prep school costume, which includes a white front top, short pleated plaid skirt, a necktie, and a navy blue jacket.



7. Delicious Brownie or Cookies Shes always ready. Shes active. And she loves the outdoors. This Halloween, the personality of your girlfriend should suit well with the Camper Girl costume. The costume consists of a khaki shirt and a green pleated skirt. The khaki shirt is accented with a red scarf and several merit badges.

8. Hot Holiday Honey It is Halloween but Christmas is just around the corner. Your girlfriend can reserve her nice outfit for Christmas and wear a dazzling Playboy Holiday Honey costume this Halloween. The costume is a velvet dress trimmed with white faux fur and accented by lace-up sides. The costume also includes a Santa hat and a shiny black belt.



9. Maid in America Before Shreks Fiona became famous, there was the French Maid Fiona who wears a white satin and velvet dress that is accented by an apron, a headpiece, and a satin white underskirt. A wig, stockings, jewelry, gloves, and the ever-present duster can complete the French Maid costume. As she parties with you on Halloween night, you just know that she knows more than housekeeping skills.



10. Sexy Sarah Palin! Whether a Republican or Democrat, whether voting for Obama or McCain, you can't deny the hidden desire for a little bit of everyone's favorite Alaskan dish, Sarah Palin, in your bag of Halloween Candy!

Sarah Palin Halloween Costume


THE Hottest costume of 2008!
Well, y’know, at BuyCostumes.com, we’re doin’ costumes up Wasilla Main Street-style, here! That’s right; the costume of the year is GOP Vice Presidential Candidate Ms. Sarah Palin! It’s the American way, all-mavericky, and what not. Sarah Palin; Supercandidate. She’s the bestest Team-Maverick-Washington-Outsider-Hunter-Hockey-Mom-Former-Miss-Alaska-Pittbull-With-Lipstick there is, gall darnit! Who WOULDN’T want to be her? Not only that, but with all those various facets, you can pick which one you want to be! You can just switch it up so many different ways. Like for example, she could have the angel wings, or the devil horns—or both (that way, you’re stirrin’ up the controversy)! She could be carryin’ all the different types of newspapers that she loves to read, like The New York Times...
Y'know, you’re you, and you can do whatever you want until the courts tell you you can’t, but if I were you, I would be the first gal (or guy—we aren’t discriminatin’ here, ‘cause y’know, we’re pretty tolerant folks, here) on your block to wear the Sarah Palin Costume and be the first GOP woman Vice-Presidential candidate aimin’ to make some changes in Washington… Wasilla Main Street-style! Otherwise, you’re just wavin’ the white flag of surrender, and that sure is one thing we don’t want to do!

I Need A Hero!

Crazy times we're living in, eh? Troubles on Wall Street and plenty of other places around the world, and the politicians are fighting tooth and nail to get into the Presidential seat. Where are Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America, Wolverine, The Fantastic Four, Hawk Girl, Raven, and The Incredibles when you need them? At BuyCostumes.com, that's where! BuyCostumes.com has the most super selection of superhero costumes in the universe! From D.C. Comics to Marvel Comics, and even Pixar, you'll find the best of the best at BuyCostumes.com! Thank goodness, because right now, we need them more than ever! So why do we love these crazy guys and gals in bodysuits, tights and capes? There are all kinds of reasons. They are mysterious, eccentric, maybe a little crazy, but definitely brave, and perhaps most importantly, they are selfless in so many ways. Oh, and usually, they have super powers... this helps a lot! Typically, they also have a weakness, and this makes them human--and loveable. Batman, is my favorite, and maybe one of the big reasons is that he actually doesn't have any super powers at all--he's just a genius, an amazing athelete and warrior... and he's pretty handsome, to boot (and Christian Bale is not bad, either). Plus his arch enemy, The Joker is probably the creepiest and scariest super villain ever, so this keeps things exciting. AND he has awesome vehicles, weapons, and tools!But then there is Spider-Man... he shoots webs and swings from them through New York City and has spider sense, and battles guys like The Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus. And he's a little nerdy apart from being a superhero, which actually makes him cool.
Superheroes... there are so many great ones to choose from and everyone has their favorites for different reasons. Who's your favorite? Whoever it is, chances are, we have him or her here at BuyCostumes.com, along with accessories, party kits, and the whole nine yards.
Maybe the biggest reason for our love of superheros is that they represent hope. They keep on fighting the good fight even in the darkest hour, and in the end, they get the bad guys!

Flip Your Wig!

Wigs are awesome, aren't they?!? I would wear a different one every day if I could... well, that would be a lot of wigs, but anyway, they are totally fun. BuyCostumes.com has about a gazillion wigs to select from (okay, well probably closer to a thousand, but still--a lot!), so that you may either add the perfect touch to your awesome costume, or so that you may simply have the magnificent and wonderous wig you've always dreamed of. ...Like the Glowfro! You can definitely build a costume around this wig, and I'm sorry; but if you don't think this wig kicks serious--well--you know... then I just don't know what to say to you. It glows in the dark... what more could you possibly want?? In fact, just give me the Glowfro, and I will never need another wig in my life. Oh, wait, I take that back. There are just so many fantabulous wigs! And what if I want to dress like Marilyn Monroe? Or Betty Boop?? BuyCostumes.com has perfect wigs for these costumes! I could just wear the Glowfro, but then people might think I'm strange (hmmmmmmmm...). Okay, okay... I must have more wigs than just the Glowfro. Did I mention there is also a Glow-Vacious wig (looooooooooove the glow-wigs!)? Okay, enough about glow-wigs.

MULLETS!
I think there should be a mullet fest. Maybe there already is one... If so, would somebody please tell me?? Mullets are just so cool, with their business-in-front-party-in-the-back-thang-they-got-goin'-ON! At BuyCostumes.com, we've got the Mullet Perm, we've got the Old School Flat Mullet, we've got the Super Mullet in blonde and dark brown... we've even got the Mullet Wiggie for babies! Heck, yeah, Dude!

Now we all know that mullets were rockin' 'dos--and still are--but especially in the 80s, which takes me to another great category for wigs--rock n' roll! From the fifties on up, BuyCostumes has wigs for you to rock out in! Check it out.



But there's way more! BuyCostumes.com has pretty wigs, long wigs, short wigs, blondes, brunettes, red-heds, multi-colored clown wigs, super-fros... the list goes on and on.

Club IT UP! –Out and About at the Clubs

What’s hot on the club scene this Halloween? Basically anything goes, and club goers go to BuyCostumes.com for their gear! From super-sexy to silly to freakishly absurd, there isn’t much that you can’t get away with, and the more imaginative, the better! It’s a lot fun to be something totally different than what you are in real life. Want to be a good girl gone bad? Maybe the Malice In Wonderland costume would be a good option for you! And if you’re dating a tough guy, then it would be only natural for him to go as the White Rabbit! You’re sure to get a good laugh from your friends when you sport the unexpected. If you want to be fashionably scary and sexy, then witches and vampires are always great options. For the ladies, I recommend the Burlesque Victorian Vampiress Costume. This is seriously sexy vampiress gear that is definitely risqué with its ultra-mini skirt, but the crimson velvet and black lace give it the dash of drama and sophistication that make it vampire-worthy! And fortunately, there is a Victorian Vampire costume to match for your gentleman; complete with a black and silver Victorian printed vest, and a black cravat. To put it simply, you will make a very striking pair.

Fairy costumes such as Midnight Fairy, Graveyard Fairy, and the Sequined Sprite are hot items, and dressing as these mystical and magical creatures can be even more fun when you add lights and color to the mix! This can be easily done with sparkly, colorful and creative makeup (Shimmer and Shine), and Glowbys for your hair or iGlow Hair Gel (very cool stuff!). And speaking of glow-in-the-dark stuff, BuyCostumes.com also has really cool glow in the dark wigs, such as the Glow Fro or the Glovacious; (kind of a Debbie Harry/Cleopatra style), which are smash hits all by themselves, so just imagine what happens when you put them on!

For a group of seven grrrls (—ahem—young women), BuyCostumes.com has the perfect group costume, “The Seven Deadly Sinners!” All dressed up and raring to go, you and your gal pals can take your favorite place over when you walk in, because as Gluttony, Lust, Greed, Sloth, Jealousy, Pride, and Rage, the crowd will be at your mercy! But what if it’s just two of you? Well, there are also the Starburst Girl and the Emerald Girl who make a dynamite duo as they club cruise together!

Feeling spacey? Get ready to make the jump to hyper-space! BuyCostumes.com has a galaxy of options. Starting with The Jetsons, we offer you Judy, George, Jane and Astro (though he would not be allowed at the club!), non-stop Star Wars, Buzz Lightyear and many more (psst! Ladies, check out the silver boots—wow!)! You say you’re actually feeling “cavey,” eh? Uggh. I know just what you mean! Then you will enjoy dressing up as The Clubbin’ Cave Girl, and if your dude wants to tag along, make him go as the The King of Caves.

Other super popular choices are, of course, superhero costumes like Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, and Captain America. Lots of people like to put fresh spins on supergear to make a splash, and this can be done with shoes, makeup and accessories. Add Monster Boots, funky sunglasses, and again, sparkling makeup to your look for a dazzling, super effect!

So when you go out, go all out! And most importantly, have a fun and safe Halloween!

Halloween Costumes – Online Shopping With Your Kids

As Halloween draws nearer, so do other holidays, and with that being said, we can all agree that especially this time of year, the days and the time seem to whiz right by. Indeed, time is precious, and whether you work full time, or are home with your kids, one thing for certain is that life is busy. Before you know it, it will be time for Halloween parties and trick or treating. Do your kids have their costumes yet? You can believe that we are very busy here, at BuyCostumes.com, as well! Orders are coming in and going out like there’s no tomorrow, but the great news is that there are still plenty of excellent costumes to choose from (over 1,500 kids’ costumes), and plenty of time to ship your items to your door before Halloween. Simply click on ‘Kids Costumes’ on the menu bar of our web site.
Make It a Halloween Shopping Event

One of the great things about shopping at BuyCostumes.com with your kids is that this can be a great chance to spend some quality time together, picking out costumes and other cool things (like decorations and props) for Halloween. When it can be challenging just to carve out time for fun family activities, why waste the precious moments battling traffic and crowds at the shopping centers? Instead, how about baking some Halloween cookies or other tasty treats, have them with your hot, mulled cider, and sit together at the computer, where you can comfortably share conversations and laughs. Without all the noise and distractions to contend with in a public place, you might be surprised to find that by shopping online together, you can learn more about your child’s likes and dislikes, and general ideas. You might find, for example, that your son or daughter identifies with a particular character that is new to you, or has an interest in a certain period in history. You could find out that he or she wants to be a doctor, or even an astronaut. Who knew? Basically, it’s a chance to bond with your kids that should not be missed!
Not to mention the fact that it’s a quicker process than going out somewhere to hunt for a costume, which means that once you have all your Halloween things picked out and purchased, you can move on to the next fun thing on your list, like pumpkin carving, putting up lights, or playing a game… whatever you choose. The point is, shopping at BuyCostumes.com can be a lovely, stress-free way to simply relax and have fun with your kids.

Halloween 2008. It’s Fun To Be Scared!

Tradition

With the fall comes thoughts of pumpkins, apples, and butternut squash, turning leaves of crimson and gold, hot cider, and of course; Halloween. Many traditions of Halloween that we practice and enjoy taking part in today were brought to the Americas by Irish immigrants in the 1840s. Celtic people originally celebrated October 31st as their New Year. It was thought that this was a time at which spirits of the dead freely intermingled with those of the living, seeking souls to possess. To make a long story short, notions of dressing up in scary costumes came about because people thought they would frighten away the spirits.

In 2008 the tradition of dressing up in scary costumes is stronger than ever, and in fact, Halloween has become the second largest retail holiday in the nation; the first being Christmas. And while sexy, cute, and funny are very popular costume themes, the fact remains that a big part of what makes Halloween so fun, is that people like to scare and be scared! At BuyCostumes.com, we have nearly every kind of scary costume you can think of, from ghosts and goblins to witches and vampires, and we musn’t forget about Frankenstein and the Werewolf. Such classics are always hot tickets. Something that really makes costumes like these extra spooky, scary and/or creepy are details, i.e., accessories, such as custom fangs or skeleton teeth, and Don Post Makeup!

Masks

Sometimes a good mask can make the costume, and we have plenty to choose from. Some people are terrified of clowns, and sometimes with good reason. Mort I. Fied is possibly one of the scariest clown masks ever made, though Full Moon Killjoy could give him a run for his money. Maybe they should hang out! Other very scary (non-clown) masks worth noting are the Devil Skull mask, the Alien vs. Predator Predalien mask, and pretty much all of the Slipknot masks.

Ghosts are what Halloween are all about, and we have great options for the entire family! Couples will want to check out Pitchfork Pete and Grannie Reaper, or for the seafaring ghosts; Barnacle Bill and Shipwreck Sally. For the guys who want to go in style, try the Ghostly Gent and have the Ghostly Lady be your date! Children will like Ghost Face for a scary one, or Howling Horror is very good, too! For the pooch, we even have Doggie Bones.

Horror Movies

These guys just keep coming back again and again, don’t they? They are the gifts that keep on giving! Michael Myers, Jason, Leatherface, Jigsaw and Saw Pig are some of the legendary characters of horror that are so scary, the temperature drops about 10 degrees when they enter the room. Now, that is quite a trick! And speaking of tricks, if you think those guys are bad, wait until you get a load of Trick ‘r Treat Sam! Scary movie goers cannot wait until this one hits the screen—fall of ’09. But we have his incredibly creepy mask available right now! Happy Trick ‘r Treating!

Sexy Costumes for 08: Less is More!

There are two ways you can look at this—and they both work! 1) When it comes to sexy costumes, some say that the less you wear, and the more you reveal, the better! And there are plenty of cases in point. BuyCostumes.com is definitely the place to go when a super sexy Halloween is what you have in mind, and there are so many routes you can take. And on the flip side (sexy, but not overly showy): 2) there are some that say it is sexier to be less revealing because of the mystery factor. Some great examples in this vein are the Sorceress, Egyptian Queen Elite Collection,and Ravena (one of my favorites!).








Ravena
Adult Sexy Costume


Some people don’t need an excuse to be naughty, but for those who do, Halloween is the perfect opportunity! You can never go wrong with a classic, and as far as sexy costumes go, the French Maid is the quintessential Queen of sexy, and no other words need explain why this is the case. Other beloved ladies that fall in this line are the nurse, the school girl, sailor girl, the wench, the Vixen Pirate Wench, the cop, and (God forbid) the Nasty Habit Nun. But with over 700 sexy costumes to choose from, the list goes on and on! Fairy tales, children’s classics, and nursery rhymes: These themes are continually popular because one of the most fun things about Halloween is making the leap from reality to fantasy, and it’s hard to get more fantastical than children’s tales. Aside from that, it brings the delight of innocence to the forefront, juxtaposed with sheer naughtiness; creating a sexy force that is whimsical, wonderful, and virtually unstoppable!







Naughty Red Riding Hood
Adult Sexy Costume


This explains why a favorite theme this year is Alice In Wonderland. Check them out and you’ll see why! From Miss Wonderland Sexy to Dark Heart Queen, BuyCostumes.com offers the whole dream-theme cast of characters, as well as sexy shoes and accessories to make your ensemble complete. So get going, because you don’t want to be late for your very important date! Other popular choices are , Lil Miss Muffet, and Dorothy Girl.





Dr. Dreamy
Adult Sexy Costume


For the guys, here are the home runs! Officer Oliver Clothesoff just can’t help it; he makes the girls misbehave! And ever since Grey’s Anatomy hit the scene, there isn’t a girl in the world that wouldn’t want to be a patient of Dr. Dreamy—or a student—or a nurse.

Want to be a Mile High Captain? Who doesn’t? After all, they get the best care in the air! And the Fireman? Let’s just say that one big reason that firemen become firemen has nothing to do with a love of rushing into burning buildings (but a lot to do with love!). Whatever you decide to wear, may it provide for a hot and steamy Halloween!

Top 7 Costumes to Pimp Your Dog on Halloween

If you have seen The Golden Compass, then you probably thought the coolest thing about all the characters are the beasts that they have. The beasts of the children continuously transform while the beasts of the adults have taken forms that reflect the personality of the adults. In real life, there are no beasts such as these, but people do have pets. And during this Halloween season, the mild-mannered pets can transform into characters that even the fantastical beasts could never dream of. Here are seven of the most popular and most memorable Halloween costumes for your pets.



  • Big Daddy, Big Doggie - It is a Halloween costume for a dog with an attitude. The costume consists of the familiar vest-style jacket that has the impudent leopard-skin accent on the vest. The complete Halloween costume comes with a hat that also has the leopard accent. This costume works best on any dark-muzzled pet to create the illusion of a self-assured persona with a day-old beard.

  • Jedi Master, Cat Power - For nine hundred years, Yoda waited for the most powerful Jedi to come to defeat the evil galactic emperor. Then Luke Skywalker came and saved the universe as the great Jedi master. Yoda's time had come; he soon passed and joined the all-encompassing, shapeless force. But is Yoda really gone? Or maybe his force is just waiting to be projected into someone or something that will take his form, such as your pet. For this Halloween season, your naturally agile cat can wear a jumpsuit with arms and big ears, resembling the Jedi master. And if you listen hard enough, you can probably hear your pet barking, "may the force be with you."


  • Darth Vader, Dog Vader - The Star Wars fever does not end with the last episode and with the death of Anakin Skywalker. Every Halloween, Darth Vader's force might merge a pooch with a dark side. Do not be beguiled by his cute wagging tail. Look deep into your dog's eyes and see if it has what it takes to take on Darth Vader's intimidating personality. And if you find a naughty glint, then it's time to get that Darth Vader pet Halloween costume. Besides the classic helmet, the complete costume includes a jumpsuit with attached arms and a cape with a belt.


  • Joker, Boxer - The endearing face of your boxer is full of fun and innocence. It obeys your every command as it attempts to play its own doggie games. This proclivity for games should have alerted you of your boxer's secret personality - the propensity for mischief and the boldness to believe that it can get away with anything. Thus, it is only fitting for it to wear the Joker costume during Halloween. The costume includes an eye-catching dress shirt, vest, tie, and pinstriped pants. There is a nutty wig for the full crazy Joker effect.

  • Super Dog - The Super Dog, wearing the popular Superman-style red and blue jumpsuit and a red cape that is cinched by a belt, may not be faster than a bullet, but he will appear like a bona fide member of the Justice League. The Super Dog may not be able to cover several fire hydrants in one leap, but his adorable Halloween costume will coax several admiring glances in one night.


  • Indiana Bones - If the dog has that look in his eye and the suave charming personality, then he can get away wearing the Indiana Jones costume. This Halloween costume consists of a jumpsuit and the unmistakable fedora hat. Courage is just one aspect of his persona. The other one is the instinctive ability to sniff out, find, and dig hidden treasures.

  • Sexy, Bunny, Cuddly - The Bunny Maid costume will bring out the extremely feminine instincts of your pet and will coax out admiring glances of other pets in the neighborhood. The costume includes a sexy black and white dress with the signature Playboy logo. It also has a collar, an apron, and a headband. With this costume during the Halloween, your pet will be the most popular in the block.
