I like a party with a theme that makes demands of the imagination. A good fancy dress costume is all about lateral thinking; you have to consider the most obvious thing you could go as, and then work backwards. Be tired of dressing as a dark angel or a sexy bug girl? If you are the one love fancy dress parties and looking for a new way to spice up your costuming style this year, add some Gypsy flavor to your wardrobe!!
Gypsy-fusion is one of the hottest looks in the dance world today. This vivacious costuming style is composed of design elements pulled from traditional folk costumes of Eastern and Southern Europe.The Gypsy style can be very affordable. Lightweight cotton fabric, embellished with braid, ribbons and chainette fringe can result in beautiful, but budget conscious costumes. Peasant shirts are popular right now and commercial patterns are available. . Directions for making a variety of full skirt styles can be found on many different websites or in costuming books such as “Skirting the Issues” which offers many different variations in the Gypsy style. More expensive and opulent Gypsy costumes include beautifully embellished bra and belt sets coated with coins, chain and jewelry pieces that become a versatile addition to any dancers wardrobe suitable for adding to tribal or fusion cabaret styles. Even the most sparkly beaded, sequined and rhinestoned bra and belt set can be integrated into a Gypsy flavored ensemble by pairing it with a fluffy flounced skirt.

Most people are lucky to work with Madonna once. Costume designer Arianne Phillips has lasted 11 years, from the singer’s Pre-Raphaelite look for “Ray of Light” to the urban cowgirl of “Music” to the Patty Hearst look of “American Life” and on and on and on. In other words, measured in Madonna time, Phillips is roughly 77 years old. Thankfully, everyone is a bit of an exaggeration, as Phillips goes on to detail a mile-long list of willing collaborators and everything they’ve designed for the trek, which begins Aug. 23 in Cardiff, Wales, and comes to the United States in early October. Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci designed two outfits, while Tom Ford provided bespoke suits for the band. Three pairs of shoes have been custom-made by Miu Miu, there are thigh-high boots courtesy of Stella McCartney, sunglasses from Moschino, and other outfits and odds and ends from Yves Saint Laurent, Roberto Cavalli, and Jeremy Scott.
As in the past, this tour will be divided into four sections. The first references gangsta pimp and Art Deco with Givenchy costumes. This, it would seem, is Madonna’s current take on her longest-running fashion inspiration — the dominatrix. “It’s a theme that runs throughout her career” Phillips says. “She’s not afraid of being hard.” The second section has been termed “Old School,” and harkens back to Madonna’s early days in New York, with Scott’s outfit and some vintage prints from Keith Haring, the late graffiti artist and friend of Madonna who died of AIDS in 1990. “He and Madonna were friends. If he were alive, it would be his 50th birthday as well. So I thought, ‘What if we revisited that?’” Afterward, there’s a gypsy section with more costumes from Givenchy. “Riccardo’s a new young talent. If you look at Madonna’s history with fashion, that makes him an obvious choice.” Finally, there’s a futuristic rave section with lots of Japanese influences. [By Jacob Bernstein}

Avatar could be the best film ever! I’ve seen it 3 times already. Two times in the theaters and one time online simply because I loved it so much. The movie is really deep.
Comic-Con International experienced capacity crowds in 2009, with all memberships selling out months before the convention began, leaving a whole lot of people locked out Comic-Con 2010 has already seen unprecedented interest. Four-day memberships sold out in November 09. If you just are interested in the event, now’s your chance to see one of the best parts of the con -the costumes of last year Con. There’s always a lot of cross-over costumes at Comic Con and for some reason, they tend to mostly involve Star Wars.

Photo showed models wearing Sexy traditional Mongolian costume from Inner Mongolia were preparing for the 6th China Mongolian Costume Art Festival which was held in Huhhot, capital city of Inner Mongolia. The teams from 12 cities of Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Russia and Mongolia attended the festival.
Hi, good day.. Your post is incredibly uplifting. I never thought that it was feasible to carry out something like that until after I checked out your post. You undoubtedly gave a great insight on how this whole process works. I will make sure to return for more information. Thanks!
Beauties from around the world paraded the colours of their countries at the National Costume Event in Nassau, Bahamas.
This event and several more leading up to the Miss Universe 2009 sees 84 hopeful queens compete for the coveted crown on 23 August 2009. While most came in reinvented traditional costumes of their people, some came in sports attire that holds a strong significance in their homeland. Miss Puerto Rico, Mayra Matos wore a boxing outfit – having produced more world champions than any other sport in its history, while Miss USA Kristen Dalton suited-up in a sexy Indy car racing outfit. There were many glorious outfits to look at. Some were wild, some simple yet beautiful, but our favourite was Miss Japan’s reinvented kimono.
I have been a reader for a long while, but this is my first time as a commenter. I just wanted to say that this has been / is my favorite post of yours! Keep up the good work and I’ll keep on coming back.
Boys, this time around we went for fresh characters and less traditional costumes. Afterall, everybody else has Mario and Link covered. In addition to having new characters, the list rates each costume on the difficulty of work and costs involved to make it as well as the materials you will need. As a reference, we tried to find photos of cosplayers with already completed costumes. In the cases where we could not find a cosplayer, we used an in-game screenshot or concept art to point you in the right direction.

1) Nathan Drake
Nathan Drake is the cynical everyman protagonist in the popular Uncharted eries. Nathan is a descendant of the famed explorer Sir Francis Drake, which we found out in his first adventure on the search for the lost city of El Dorado.
Level of Difficulty: Easy Cost: Low Materials Needed: All that is really needed is a long sleeved white undershirt, a dark gray overshirt that buttons at the top, a shoulder gun holster, a pair of old jeans, and a belt with a silver buckle. If you want to add a bit more to your costume don’t forget to dye your hair black, add a necklace with a silver ring on it, and a few rolls in the dirt for added “adventurer” effect.

2) Knight (Castle Crashers)
These are the brave little nights in multi-colored armor from the game Castle Crashers. You control your favorite Castle Crasher, also known as the blue guy, and smash and slash your way through some really fun levels.
Level of Difficulty: Moderate, you will have to use your well-developed art skills in this instance. Cost: Low Materials Needed: This is a case where cardboard will not only work, but also work well in fitting the design of the costume. You will also need some flat hobby paint for your knight color of choice. The most difficult part will likely be curving the helmet to look, well, curved.
So. You’re standing around your room. You feel like cosplaying but don’t have the time, money, patience or skill to make some huge elaborate costume. Or maybe you’re going to a con last minute and everyone else is dressing up and you don’t wanna feel left out. And you’re a girl…
There are a few things every good amateur female cosplayer, such as myself, should keep around. Some are easier to find than others, but it’s all about improv!
Some good things to have that you should be able to find in a consignment shop, thrift store, or in the back of your mom or grandmother’s closet is (1) a crinoline and (2) a pleated skirt with suspenders.
A crinoline is often mistaken for petticoats. A crinoline is basically a skirt made of layers and layers of stiff, lacey material that women wore under skirts to make them poofy back in the olden days. I inherited one of these amazing things from my step-great-grandmother for a play I was in. I was required to be a french-style maid and wanted to have as poofy a skirt as possible. Needless to say, I had the best and poofiest costume. A crinoline is priceless for any last minute amateur cosplay costume. It’s worn under a loose, long (maybe tea length. If you can find one, buy a loose ankle length and pin up the hems) skirt. You can add an apron and a matching colored shirt, and a maid’s hat made out of a paper doily folded in half and hot glued to a ribbon for a non-slutty maid costume in about 10 minutes. Add kitty ears or even a tail for an instant anime classic. Experiment with other things. It also might make a good poofy lolita skirt with some ribbons and bows added to the skirt.
A pleated skirt with suspenders is also great for instant school girl costumes. I got mine from my step-mom from in the 90’s when she was younger. Paired with a classy white button down, long sleeved shirt, one of my daddy’s ties (any style, or you can make and ascot with a colored scarf and a brooch*), and either a pair of flats, chunky loafer-style platforms, or loafers, it makes a great costume. Just pair it with the anime hairstyle of choice and voila! Of course, you can always add some animal ears for that weird furry touch.
Some other things that are great to have: animal ears, wings, and cheap wigs.
Most of that crap can be bought at a party shop. Animal ears show up around holidays. Bunny ears show up around Easter, so grab a few pair in different colors during those handy after-holiday sales. Kitty ears are abundant during Halloween. Party shops probably carry them all year round, so give those party shops a try. Because they also carry wigs year round as well. Wigs are great. During Halloween, they are abundant in all major retailers. Wal-Mart and Target, etc. They come in all sorts of weird styles and colors. Party shops usually carry better quality, quantity and have a better selection. Party shops are an amateur cosplayer’s best friend. It’s best to stock up on animal ears and wigs during those after-holiday sales if you are shopping at a Wal-Mart or Target. It’s impossible to find costume pieces like that not during a holiday. But major-retailers are great for find bows, hairpieces and jewelry. Not to mention parts for last minutes weapons, staffs, and other accessories.
Wings are a little harder to come by. Try one of those nifty party shops. During Halloween, you’re able to find angel wings, fairy wings, bat wings… all very good to have. So stock up!
Now, lets say it’s not a holiday and you aren’t able to get to a party shop. So, my best advice to you is this: Check costume online store, party shops, stock up during holidays like Halloween and Easter, and check with the old people. [shonenchicklets, Nov 09]
Super Girl / Lois Lane (Superwoman) — The first comic to feature a female counterpart to Superman is “Lois Lane – Superwoman,” a story published in Action Comics #60 (May 1943), in which a hospitalized Lois Lane dreams she has gained superpowers thanks to a blood transfusion from the Man of Steel. She begins her own career as Superwoman, complete with copycat costume. Similar stories with Lois Lane acquiring superpowers and adopting the name “Superwoman” periodically appear later. One such story appears in Action Comics #156 (May 1951), in which Lois accidentally gains superpowers, thanks to an invention of Superman’s arch-foe, Lex Luthor. In the story, Lois employs a short blond wig in her crime-fighting identity, giving Superwoman an almost identical look to the later Kara Zor-El version of Supergirl.

Na’vi stands 10 feet tall. They have blue skin and slender bodies. They have tails and white dots on their face and body. They were considered primitive inhabitants by the human but they are more physically capable than humans. According to humans, “they were hard to kill.” U.S. created a genetically-bred human-Na’vi hybrids known as Avatars. They created Avatars because humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora.

He is a crippled soldier and participating in the “Avatar” program will enable him to walk. He was sent down to Pandora’s jungle as a scout for the soldiers. He meets a Na’vi lady named Neytiri.

She’s the wholesome side to DC comics, she’s the anti-Catwoman and she’s always striving to prove herself in a super hero universe dominated by dudes. Its Batgirl. It has come to my attention that the origins and back story of Batgirl are actually quite unknown so for those of you who would like a bit of an education, hang on cause here we go.
Batgirl was originally conceived because Kane and the publishers at DC were concerned about the rumors of Batman and Robin being gay. Batman was given a counterpart in the character of Bat-Woman back in 1956, Robin’s counterpart was introduce a few years later as Bat-Girl, the kid sister of Bat-Woman. The Batgirl suit has been worn by 4 major characters in the DC universe: Babara Gordon, Helena Bertinelli, Betty Kane and Cassandra Cain.The most popular Batgirl stories involve Barbara Gordon, Commissioner Gordon’s daughter.

Story time: A Sexy Devil Girl / All Saints’ Day (All Hallows Day) became fixed on 1 November in 835, and All Souls’ Day on 2 November, circa 998. On All Souls’ Eve, families stayed up late, and little “soul cakes” were eaten by everyone. At the stroke of midnight, there was solemn silence among households, which had candles burning in every room to guide the souls back to visit their earthly homes and a glass of wine on the table to refresh them. The tradition of giving soul cakes that originated in Britain and Ireland was known as souling, often seen as the origin of modern Trick or Treating in North America, and souling continued in areas of northern England as late as the 1930s, with children going from door to door singing songs and saying prayers for the dead in return for cakes or money. The English Reformation in the 16th century de-emphasised holidays like All Hallows Day or All Souls Day and their associated eves.

In the late 90s while writing a paper about fitness training studios in a marketing class Jon Basso came up with an idea for a new theme based restaurant. Years later this American’s dream would become a reality in Chandler, Arizona where The Heart Attack Grill has literally been serving up death sentences on a plate since 2005. Menu choices include Quadruple Bypass Burgers (8,000 calories per a serving) and Flatliner Fries deep fried in loads of good old-fashioned pure lard, served by scantily clad women in nurse outfits. Basso himself (known as Dr. Basso though he holds no medical certifications) will even examine you with a stethescope and have you exit the restaurant in a wheel chair should you feel too weak from resulting blood clots to walk out by yourself. There’s also no chance of having your kids eat for free at this restaurant — only the customers who agree to prove they weigh 350 pounds or more can enjoy that privilege
