Big costumes for big people: let’s all have fun together this Halloween!

§ October 6th, 2009 § Filed under ideas § Tagged , , § No Comments

If you’re a big fan of Halloween… and I mean BIG as in chunky, here’s something that you’ll want to check out: costumes for plus size. Oh, and no need to get embarrassed, since I’m also on the chunky side myself. In fact, that’s just the reason I’m so excited about this costume store… because usually, I really have a hard time finding a full-body costume that fits comfortably. Well, from what I’ve already seen in this website – that will no longer be a problem, this year! There’s an amazing selection of costumes available, in such diverse sizes that you’d really have to be someone who makes a sumo wrestler look thin by comparison, in order to succeed in NOT finding a nice costume that fits your extra-sized persona.

This year, I think I’ll be going for a rogue wizard custome, and I’m just having trouble deciding on the appropriate wig, from the vast offering in halloween costume wigs available from this website. Man, I always feel like a kid every Halloween! And usually I have to settle for some big old homemade costume, since it had never ocurred to me it might be a good idea looking for some over-sized costumes. I’m really happy someone showed me this website, and if you can relate with the feeling of frustration that comes from not being able to fit in a standard Haloween costume, I think you’ll he happy as well!

The legendary off-season halloween party? You gotta see to believe!

So, what does it take to make a perfect party? I’m thinking about rounding up all of my close friends and getting down for some major end-of-summer kind of action, this weekend… and I could really use some ideas. You see, I’d very much enjoy to put together a party of the legendary kind, one of those parties that people talk about for years. However, I suppose that’s easier said than done: after standing around scratching my head for an hour or so, I decided to look up some Internet videos that might be helpful. Well, the best I could find was this thing here, and I would boldly say those guys are nearly as clueless as myself:

Well anyway, I’ve been making some calls trying to get some really good ideas, and something came up that might be interesting: an off-season Halloween party, with all kinds of halloween treats and activities. Also, it would be a surprise thing: I wouldn’t tell people to get a costume beforehand; that would be just dumb. I’m thinking about just rounding up a bunch of silly garments and all kinds of crazy accessories and piling them up in the living room, right next to the liquor. Then, just as all the guests start getting boozed up just right, I’d proclaim we would actually be having an off-season Halloween party, and ask everyone to just improvise a costume using all that stuff laying around.

Also, I’m thinking about looking up a bunch of Halloween drinking games just to keep things fun, and when everyone is getting hyped up, the real fun begins: outdoor barbecue! While the barbecue is going on, I’d give a bag of treats to each guest, and invite them to go out and lure outsiders to the party. I’m guessing at this point everyone will be sufficiently inebriated to really get sociable and help draw a major crowd. I’m telling you dear reader, it’s going to be a thing of legend! How does that sound?

The day when teenagers exhibited a scary fashion sense.

There’s a fine line between fashion and insanity, and some people seem all to eager to cross it. Just now I was riding the subway on my way home from the shopping mall,  and my eyes kept fixating on two teenage girls that were sitting next to me. It may sound awkward, but I just couldn’t help staring at their horrible wigs – and I mean horrible as in unrealistic, plastic Halloween-like wigs… from a website that does indeed specialize in Halloween costume wigs.

How do I know this? Quite simple, dear reader! Those silly girls just kept bragging about the cool website they’d found, and how they were so certain they would “for sure” set up a new urban trend. Oh, the horror. Oh, the humanity. I almost felt like intruding their horrid conversation and asking if they would like some halloween hats to go along with their ugly wigs. And why not wear a fake rubber mole, while they were at it? Now that would make a hot new trend, for sure.

I’m telling you, dear reader… when you realize American teenagers engage this kind of sordid reasoning, with their major aspiration being the transmutation of plain Halloween accessories into full-blown fashion statements; well, that’s when you realize there’s something very wrong with our society. I’m just wondering how those girls will dress up next Halloween. Maybe they will try looking like regular people, for a change? Maybe comb their hair and steam press their rugged shirts and skirts? Nah… that’s probably too bold for them!
