Aeon Flux Costume

Monday, August 18th, 2008

This costume is all about being Goth. It’s perfect for super heroes/super villain party and is based on an outfit from “A Last Time for Everything” from the original Aeon Flux video.

Aeon is a double agent. She’s a confident trickster with her own agenda. The costume doesn’t need to be liquid latex or vinyl. It could be black crushed velvet.

Boots are the key to the allusion of height and length. Even if you are 6 ft. get yourself some platform stilettos. If you go the more revealing costume route, you might want to get a fishnet body suit with full arms and wear gloves and neck choker. And don’t forget a good laser gun.

Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet were two young lovers of Verona in medieval times, that inspired William Shakespeare to write one of the most enduring love stories of all time.

Romeo and Juliet’s families were bitter rivals and sworn enemies but in spite of it all, they managed to fall in love which sparked even more of a war between the two clans. Although they tried to marry in secret, tragic circumstances led to the suicide deaths of the two young lovers.

Romeo’s outfit includes panne’ shirt with gold accents, knicker pants, and a cap with feather accent. Stockings not included. Our Juliet costume includes a green velvet gown with lace-up bodice, purple flowing inset, gold trim drape sleeves, gold armbands, matching sleevelets, gold choker, and a green Juliet cap with purple veil. Makeup and shoes are not included.

Belly Dance Costumes

Belly dancing traces its origins to the ancient traditions of women’s fertility cults. The belly dance has given women an outlet for self-expression and empowerment in their repressive, male-dominated societies in the Middle East.

Simultaneously, belly dancing has helped women preserve the subconscious, iconic connection to their own ancient feminist roots. There is no other way to put it, belly dancing is sensual.

We may not all have the perfect body for a belly dancing outfit, but everyone looks provocative when they swish and twist their hips. Belly dancing outfits come in many hues of silver, gold, copper, peacock, red, purple, pink, turquoise, orange, lavender, blue, and green.

For many women belly dancing has become a way to have fun, get in shape and be more in touch with our bodies.

Schoolgirl Costume

As far as schoolgirl costumes are concerned, this one’s hard to beat. Though this uniform would have never passed inspection at an Episcopal or Catholic school for kindergarten through twelfth grade, the colors – light pink and blue gray with the argyle pattern definitely would have, and with flying marks or ah, colors.

The blue-gray skirt is pleated but its way too short; the above the knee argyle socks, continue the pattern on the way too-small vest. The pink shirt is a little too sheer and should be tucked in and the neckline for a schoolgirl is way too revealing.

For the over the knee argyle socks to be effective, this costume needs a leggy girl to do it justice.

Pirate Costumes

There aren’t many boys have not wished at one time or another to be a pirate. There are probably a lot of girls that have too, for that matter.

With the recent success of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, pirates may just be making a comeback. With lots of options to choose from, this can be a fun theme to work with for a costume party or Halloween. There is the classic pirate look with tight pants, loose shirts, wide belts, boots, eye patch and of course the hook for a hand.

It is fairly safe to say you can begin adding to that look and people will still recognize you. For example you could add a parrot on your shoulder or a leather bag or pouch on your waistband filled with gold coins.

If you are going to a party and you are taking a date, really authenticate your look by having your date dress like a sexy pirate wench with a flowing skirt and loose white shirt with a tight, buttoned vest and the tallest, thigh high tie-up boots you can find.
