Quick Costume Ideas at the Last Minute
Friday, October 3rd, 2008
Did you decide at the last minute that you want to go to that Halloween party or go out with friends trick or treating? You can still make a great costume without breaking the bank and without having to run around like crazy, trying to find what you need.
One of the easiest costumes is a gypsy. You just need a blouse that’s ruffly and feminine, several loose skirts that you can layer, and a lot of costume jewelry.
If you don’t want to be so girly – or if you’re not a girl – you might want to go as a hobo. Old jeans and a patched-up jacket work great. Just take a stick and tie a handkerchief on the end of it, and you can stash your candy in it. A little ‘dirt’ on your face can be done with smudged eyeliner or almost any kind of makeup, and you’re ready to hit the streets to trick or treat or go to that party.


The Notting Hill Carnival is a huge event with hundreds of participants that spend months working on costumes to go with the music and dance of the day. The show offers everything from small groups to international teams the perform all over throughout the year. Bands at Carnival must have at least 30 people in costume. The team will focus on a theme that they will base their performance on.
Bridget Bardot is still one of the best known and most recognized French stars to hit the screen. She was a model, a singer and an actress and was known for being a fashion icon. She was always dressed highly fashionable with the perfect hair and face.
