Fifties dude has got to be one of the easiest Halloween costumes out there! If you want to be cool, just follow these easy steps before your next costume party:

1) Wear jeans or black leather pants, a white or black t-shirt and a leather bomber jacket if you have it.

2) Wear black boots or sneakers.

3) Slick back your hair with a comb and hair gel. Use lots – you want it to look greasy.

That’s it! So easy. The 50’s guys costume looks best when accessorized with a cute 50’s girl.

Go back to the days of Grease, diners and jukeboxes with a fun and flirty 50’s costume. Ladies, follow these three steps and you’ll be transported back in time:

1) Wear a short sleeved button up blouse in a solid color. White works best, but go with any color that will match your 50’s costume skirt.

2) The best part of the 50’s costume is the poodle skirt. You can either buy a black skirt, or one in another solid color, or simply buy an iron-on poodle applique. Make sure the skirt goes just below your knees.

3) ull your hair back into a ponytail and tie a scarf around it. If you have shorter hair, tie the scarf around your neck.

4) Put on light eyemakeup and some pink lipstick. You want to keep the makeup light.

5) If you have white and black saddle shoes, wear those. Otherwise, white or solid colored sneakers will do. Make sure you wear white ankle socks to complete the look.

The great thing about fairy costumes is that they can range from really basic to really elaborate. So, you can either plan the perfect fairy costume and get totally carried away, or you can do it as a last minute costume idea.

Fairies have been in literature and movies for ages. Of course there’s Tinkerbell, but other famous fairies include Sleeping Beauty’s three fairy godmothers, the Blue Fairy from Pinocchio, or even the Midsummer Night’s Dream fairies. They have a woodland-themed look that’s easy to recreate. Use your imagination: be the Tooth Fairy, a butterfly-themed fairy, or even an evil fairy with black wings, high black boots and dark makeup.

Cosplay events sometimes have a faerie-theme (spelled in the more Gothic way), and the costumes are more romantic and elaborate. Most include a Renaissance Faire corset over a linen skirt, ribbons, a floral head wreath, and a half mask with sequins or feathers.

What You Need For a Fairy Costume

You can make a decent fairy costume with a few basic components: leggings and a pastel-colored shirt, sparkly eye makeup, and a wand.

For a more complex fairy costume, add flowers, floaty tutus, corsets, ballet flats, ribbons, and fairy wings. Fairy costumes are pretty inexpensive, so you can usually coordinate a pretty look without spending much.

Every year brings another set of popular celebrity costumes. There’s been times where Paris Hilton, Ugly Betty, Britney Spears, Napoleon Dynamite, even Brett Michaels…the list goes on and on.

What do you think will be hot for 2009? I’m thinking Twilight costumes and Michael Jackson (of course), maybe some Harry Potter with the release of the new movie? My predictions for the top celebrity costumes of 2009 are:

Michael Jackson
Farrah Fawcett
Twilight characters
Alice in Wonderland costumes from the new Tim Burton movie
Obama
Bruno

What do you think?

Oh, behave! Actually, don’t – Halloween is the perfect time to get wild and show off your naughty side. Whether you’re hitting the local nightclubs or heading to a friend’s house party, try some of these adult costume ideas for your next partay.

Pregnant Nun Costume: all you need is a nun’s habit costume and a pillow. Extra points if you’re a guy and you wear this costume.

Pimp and Ho Costume: The pimp costume is made up of retro clothes like plaid or leather pants or a leisure suit, a long coat, bowler’s hat, big sunglasses, a cane, and lots of costume jewelry. For the ho costume, the lady needs fishnet stockings, high heels, a revealing outfit, big hair and loads of makeup. This is also a great couple’s costume idea.

Adult Nurse Costume: The sexy nurse also goes great with a doctor friend. You’ll need a short, tight nurse costume, and white high heels. You can add a nurse’s cap if you’d like, and bring props like rubber gloves.

French Maid Costume: This is a popular Halloween costume, and while not very unique, it will turn some heads. You’ll need a short, lacy dress or black skirt and bodysuit, a frilly white apron and little cap. Accessorize with a feather duster and you’re set.

Adult Hula Girl Costume: What’s hotter than a coconut bikini? You can always wear a regular bikini top too. Add a grass skirt, a lei, and some brightly colored flowers in your hair.

Adult Superhero Costume: Take your pick of sexy superheroes to dress up as. Go as Wonder Woman, Bat Girl, Mrs. Incredible, Silk Spectre II, or Catwoman to name a few.

Celebrity Costumes: Celebrity costumes can be super hot if you choose a TV or big screen vixen like Farrah Fawcett, a musical sensation like Dolly Parton, or a young starlet like Britney Spears (pre-crazy) or Paris Hilton.
