May the 4th Be With You

Slave Leia CostumeIt’s May 4th, 2010.  That means today is unofficial “Star Wars Day”.  May the 4th be with you!  Get it?! May the 4th…the FORCE… be with you.  Hahaha, no?  Well we thought it was funny and it seems to be buzz today on Twitter, Facebook, and popular blogs.  We even found some Slave Leia’s giving back to a great cause by raising money at a car wash for the Make-A-Wish foundation.  What’s also really awesome is that on the BuyCostumes Blog we can actually talk about Star Wars Day and be completely relevant.  We carry Star Wars costumes for adults and kids and even some pets!  We also have Star Wars themed party supplies and decorations.  What really makes our costumes though is that we carry plenty of accessories, masks, and hats, to complete your look.

What about for the Creative/do-it-yourself type?  Well we have a GREAT idea for you!  How about a Sexy Stormtrooper Costume?  Use our Stormtrooper Collectors Helmet as the main accessory and dress down from there.  You could pair it with a corset, or a dress, and some white gloves.  This blog has some great examples.  Any other ideas for a Sexy Star Wars Costume? Post them below and let us know how you make your geek put the game controller down.

Sexy Costumes From the Past!

BuyCostumes has some great new costumes for the upcoming season and it’s never too early to start planning out your ensemble. I browsed though many of our new costumes and realized that a lot of them come straight out of the past. We have a lot of new costumes that represent different times in history and pop culture. We especially have a lot of great new, SEXY, costumes that could make a great group costumes. Or, put a whole bunch of different time periods together for a “decades” themes group idea.

  • Prehistoric: Cave Beauty She makes prehistoric times look like something from the High Fashion Runway!
  • Early America: Pocahottie This is definitely a twist on your typical Native American costume. Pocahottie is sassy with fringe and feathers! You’ll be sure to casue some tribal trouble in this dress.
  • 1920′s: Gatsby Girl Celebrate the Roarin 20′s with this ROARIN costume. She’s a 1920′s flapper and has TONS of glitter. I like this one again, becasue its pretty simple but with some great personalization no one will have a costume as great as this! Pair it with these Cute Heels!
  • 1940′s: Ahoy There Hottie A sailor never looked so good. Go back to the time when the “good old boys” were at war and women had to step up. This dress is patriotic red, white, and blue and has classic details like an anchor and gold buttons.
  • 1950′s: Mini Poodle Skirt This not your mom’s costume! HOP into the 50′s with this super cute poodle skirt. It comes in pink or red so get a couple of the girls together and no one will ever have looked so good in a “vintage” skirt.
  • 1960′s: Hippie Chick A grovvy costume for a groovy girl. It’s really colorful and easy to dance in! You will get everyone’s attention when you walk into the room. Make love, not war!
  • 1970′s: 70′s Disco Queen I’m loving the metallic look of this dress. The neckline cut is right from the disco floor, and heck, you’ll be a portable Disco ball. Listen to some ABBA and don’t forget the 70′s wig. Got some Saturday Night Fever? Would be great for a couple’s costume by pairing with this guy!
  • 1980′s: 80′s Rock Star Anything from the 80′s is a great idea for a costume. Anyone is bound to have something fro the 80′s lying around her house and 80′s costumes=80′s Music! This costume is really cute and simple, but pair with some colorful accesories and you will stand out among the rest.
  • 1990′s… errr 1960′s?: British Flag Dress You could represent the Smashing 60′s or one of the spiciest girls from the 90′s! Another great idea: do an “Around the World” theme and use this dress to show off your UK Pride!
  • 2000: Go Green Girl The latest trend right now, ORGANIC! Wear this costume and let everyone know how environmentally conscious you are.

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!

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!

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!

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…

Unique Costume Ideas For New Trend In Nightclubs

Do you love the nightlife? Love to boogie on the disco round? Then it’s time for you to find a way out of that deep purple haze and get acquainted with the retro revival.

From Farrah’s flirtatious feathered flip to the Malibu Barbie-inspired pale pink pout, you can be sure that the days of disco are back and more luxe than ever! From San Francisco to Vegas to Milwaukee (believe it or not)-nightclubs are getting on the Volkswagen and providing a place for all the Le Freaks to Shake their Groove Thing.

We’re excited about any reason to get dressed up, so when we heard about ‘Carwash’, we had to check it out. Located in the UK, this place takes themed-clubbing to a new level. Be warned: khakis and a polo shirt will deny you access past the front door. You’ll find specifics under the ‘Dress Code’ section of their website, but you can click here for a few suggestions to get you started–all of them are guaranteed to get you funked up.

What do you do when bell-bottoms and platform shoes have taken over? You’re only choice is to get up and get on the scene with the disco theme.

Can you dig it?
