Dr. Seuss & The Cat in the Hat – Read Across America

Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat - Read Across America

“How did it get so late, so soon…”? It’s that time of year, when children will swoon.

When teachers of laughing, listening and yelling, will stop all their pointing and asking and telling.

And hand out a book, or two or three, and encourage their whos to climb up a tree.

To read about Sneetches, and Sneedles and fish. Or Grinches that steal a town’s Christmas wish.

With red books and blue books and books of all kinds, they will work to excite and expand childrens minds.

All across America, the children will read. Still, with all the Dr.’s help, this is no easy deed.

So the educators come, dressed like Brown bar-ba-loots. Or feline mischief makers, with Things in red suits.

In costume they’ll party, and to Seussville they’ll go, hoping to teach the children some things they don’t know.

Like why a Flustard eats custard or why Geelings love ceilings. Or what a super-zooper-flooper-do does, and what is the feeling?

Whether you read with your eyes closed or while your whoofing along, or listening to bagpipes and singing a Yawn song

Be sure to remember this Day of all Days, with limericks and stories and song time and plays.

Read to your child  be it parable, poem or prose. They might even like it when hanging from their toes!

Foster a love of literacy, for now and all time. Whatever you do, remember – it’s better in rhyme!

Check out our entire selection of Dr. Seuss Party Supplies and Costumes.

Top 10 2011 Costumes

2011 is quickly coming to a close, but fortunately, Halloween has of yet not arrived – which means there’s just over 30 days left to pick your Halloween costume for this year. No easy task, to be sure, but never fear, I’m here to help. What better way to exemplify the year of 2011 than to wear a totally 2011 Halloween costume, and I’ve got 10 awesome ones that are perfect for representing the year after 2010.


#10

Deluxe Barack Obama Mask
Because really, what better way to exemplify the political turmoil than to don the face of our commander in chief. Regardless of your political affiliation, the possibilities here are endless. Pair it with a dapper suit, a chicken costume, or something woefully more offensive.


#9

Captain America Movie: Captain America Prestigue Adult Costume
Captain America: The First Avenger hit theaters a few months back to widespread acclaim. As a lead-up Marvel’s ensemble Avengers film due out next year, Cap worked marvelously (haha, pun) well – and our prestige edition costumes are no exception. Take the geek out of geeky by looking plain old badass in this costume. Sure, that just leaves you with “y” as in, “Y R y0U W4i7in’ 70 8UY 7hiz k057uME?” (THATS L33t!)


#8

Jersey Shore Snooki Pink Black Leopard Print Adult Costume
Ah, the Jersey Shore. Thousands upon thousands of years from now, when mankind has ultimately fallen, be at the will of tyrannical war, global crisis, or more likely, just time – a distant, and intelligent civilization will stumble across our tiny rock in this solar system. Upon closer, forensic examination, they will learn of our “historical documents” that span the length of several years in the early 21st century chronicling the trials and tribulations that individuals like Snooki encounter involving something only deemed as “The Situation.” YOU TOO CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THAT LEGACY with this awesome Snooki costume!


#7

Glee Sue Track Suit Red Adult Costume
I’m going to be honest here, I don’t know much about Glee. BUT, what I do know is that Jane Lynch, who places Sue Sylvester is an absolute comedic genius, so I can see the appeal in watching a show with someone as funny as her on it. I also know that the show is insanely popular, and that it involves singing – lots, and lots of singing.


#6

The Walking Dead Rick Grimes Teen Costume
Oh man, The Walking Dead comes back to television network AMC on Sunday, October 16th – and it’s probably one of the most hotly anticipated shows of the fall – with good reason. Did you know that’s its based on a comic book series? If you’re enjoying the show, you might enjoy the comics and you should probably check them out. We’ve got three versions of this awesome Rick Grimes costume depending on what size you are. You can find the others (along with some official Walking Dead zombie costumes) here. On top of that, on our Facebook page, we’re doing a Walking Dead Sweepstakes.


#5

Monster High Frankie Stein Child Costume
Monsters go to high school now? Monster High is hot this year, and you can snag an awesome official Monster High costume for your kids right here at BuyCostumes.com.


#4

Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon Movie: Bumblebee 3D Theatrical w/Vacuform Adult Costume
Transformers 3 was a big deal. Both in terms of size, and cost. Think $250,000,000. That’s a pretty decent chunk of change – but I guess that’s to be expected, since transforming robots don’t come cheap these days (when did they ever, really?). While this costume is a little on the expensive side, it’s worth every single penny. Vacuform, bro. It forms, vacuum-ly to your body. And thus-ly, it is awesome.


#3

Harry Potter Gryffindor Robe Child Costume
Y’er a wizard, ‘arry! It was truly the end of an era this year, as the Harry Potter film series saw it’s seventh and final installment. But, not unsurprisingly, the legend will live on for years to come. As what child, or adult really doesn’t secretly want to dress up in a wizarding robe and wizard around, all day, every day, every where?


#2

Lady Gaga Tuxedo Adult Costume
Ra ra, oh, ah, ah. Ting, tang, walla walla, bing, bang. Oh e, oh, e ah… I digress. Lady, or Ms. Gaga, if you insist, has bee a literal and, mostly figurative rocket on the popularity charts over the past five years, and as near as I can tell (though I profess to be no pop culture expert) she’s nowhere near plateauing anytime soon. You can mimic the sophisticated, fancy-dan style that Gaga displayed in her perennially popular “Born This Way” music video.


#1

Rehab Zombie Accessory Kit Adult
I’ll let this one speak for itself.

Green Lantern sneak peek – WonderCon, you rock!

Hal Jordan has never been hotter

Green Lantern Movie 2011

Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern

WonderCon has always been exciting -  widely anticipated releases of memorabilia, back issues of comics, new costume releases and awesome home-made costumes. This year, however, the most exciting thing to come out of WonderCon, is footage!

Over the weekend, Warner Brothers released footage at WonderCon of some scenes from the highly anticipated Green Lantern movie to be released June 17th. And it is AWESOME!!

Not only do we get a peek at the world of Oa, but we’re also introduced to a few of the characters – Abin-Sur, Sinestro and Tomar-Re. The design of the film and the cinematography look fantastic – fresh, exciting and very extraterrestrial. It also looks like there will be a ton of action in the film – sure to keep the guys as captivated as the girls (we don’t really need anything more than Ryan to keep us captivated!)  What’s most exciting? This footage is only in 2D – I can’t wait to see the 3D version!

 

Unfortunately, we can’t show you the new movie costumes just yet; though if you’re willing to take a leap of faith, there are a few available for pre-order. Either way, be sure to check back – they’ll be here soon!

“In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil’s might, beware my power… Green Lantern’s light!”

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

As our internal clocks complete the adjustment to daylight savings time, and memories of Halloween slowly fade into the shadows, sparks of Thanksgiving and Christmas start to jump to the forefront of our minds. Thanksgiving is not just a holiday for awesome food, good times with family, and football. It also flags the onset of one of the most anticipated shopping days of the year – Black Friday. People by the thousands will turn out to stand in line for cut throat deals, limited offers, and freebies. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow will keep the throng of thrifty shoppers from piling into department and big-box stores that Friday, ready to literally, shop ’til they drop. The temptation to brave this brash bunch is hard to withstand – the sales and offers on Black Friday always seem too good to ignore, especially when it comes to those items on your loved ones wish lists. If, however, you find yourself a little lackluster at the thought of re-enacting the ever-popular Turbo-Man scene from ‘Jingle All the Way’, remember, you have another awesome alternative – online shopping! This year, instead of hurrying to hit up the holiday sales at the brick and mortars, why not shop for great gifts in your pj’s and slippers, with a big ol’ cup of hot chocolate? Here are a few ideas for stocking stuffers that will help to ensure you Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!

To kick off the season and spread Joy to the World, start out with the basics. Holiday hats add a little jolly to your Springy Mistletoe Headbandholly and offer just the right amount of flair for everyone, from elves to humbugs. The Velvet Santa Hat and Reindeer Antlers are perfect for your true traditionalists, but if you’re feeling a little sassy, try out the Springy Mistletoe Headband – it’s kiss tested, pucker approved.

If you’ve got a pretty Princess on your shopping list who does not want a Hippopotamus for Christmas, you can find everything from princess costumes, to jewelry, to chalk, to shoes at Buycostumes.com. One of my personal favorites is the set of Disney Princess Sundae Dishes. There is no better way to offer up a sweet treat to your sweetheart. The Disney Princess Rubber Bracelets are also a fan favorite this year, so be sure to grab a bag!

For your Little Drummer Boy with a penchant for pirates, check out Buycostumes.com selection of buccaneer buys. A corsair costume, cutlass and eye patch are sure to make them shiver their timbers when they open their Yule time treasures! The Spider Web Clock is a unique gift for anyone with a swashbucklin’ set up.

After all of Santa’s little helpers have been tucked in with tummies full of tasty treats, it may be time for Mom and Dad to do a little Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree. To add a dash of  ’allspice’ to your festive attire, take a peek at these hot Christmas costumes and accessories.  The Velvet Miss Santa and Holiday Hottie will leave no question as to who’s naughty or nice, and are the perfect match up with the Sexy Mr. Santa or Satin Santa Boxers. With these spicy numbers, Bells Will Be Ringing, but whatever you do, just be sure the elves don’t see Mommy Kissing Santa Clause underneath the mistletoe!

Baby Costumes As Gifts!

My friend is due with her first child in a couples weeks. In anticipation, I got her a few baby costumes for a gift after her son is born (Kristine, if you’re reading this I am sure you guessed this by now, so I don’t think I’m spoiling the surprise.)

Why baby costumes as a gift to new parents? Well, before I worked at BuyCostumes.com I would have never thought of it. But it’s unusual and fun. And no new parent is going to be thinking about costumes except for Halloween. But there is no reason not to. Costumes are fun and cute, and can be worn year-round. And many of the infant costumes are designed for comfort so why not have a little fun? Is there anything cuter than a baby as a slice of pizza?

So what did I get her?

(Kristine, please stop reading now.)

Batman Bib Newborn Costume

Because every baby is a secret crime fighter.

Shark Bunting Infant Costume

Deadliest predator meets baby. Who will win?

Banana Baby Infant Costume

It’s Bananas!

Next time you’re having trouble thinking of unique baby shower gifts or new mommy gifts, think baby costumes.
