Mens Evil Jester Costume (large or x-large)

Surely you jest! Evil Jester costume features a traditional jester suit with an evil mask. Includes: black and red shirt with jagged edges and bells, red and black pants, waist sash, headpiece with bells and mask. Sizing Information: Large (42-44) - Height: 71", Waist: 36", Chest: 42" X-Large (44-46) - Height: 72", Waist: 38", Chest: 44" .
Customer Review: Not quite like the photo in advertisement (as usual)
My main reason for returning this costume was the mask & headpiece. The mask is NOT white as shown, but is a "dingy yellowish" white that looks awful with the red/black costume. A white mask like the one pictured would have looked excellent in contrast to the red/black. The headpiece doesn't stay in place, especially the "points" on top - they flip flop all over the place due to the design and being VERY sparingly stuffed with polyfill. The little plastic skulls on the ends of them are too heavy and weigh them down (design flaw). Also, be aware that the black gloves are not included. I already knew this prior to purchasing, but just wanted to make a note of it for those who weren't aware of it.
Customer Review: Cheap
Very cheap. The head part kept falling over. Don't buy unless you want to be annoyed. Vendor was great! Arrive quickly.


Dressing up in fun costumes may be associated with kids or as a kid thing to do, but that is not necessarily the case as there are a lot of costumes for adults to dress up in too. Dressing up for a festive occasion of some sort in a fun costume that you wouldn't normally wear or a costume that gives you a completely new identity that you have always wanted to try can be a lot of fun for adults too. There are plenty of costumes that cater for these kind of thing and throwing a costume party can be extremely fun and a chance to do something different from the regular parties you always have.

There are a few occasions or festivities that give you a chance to dress up, such as Christmas or Halloween for example, but these days you don't necessarily need to wait for a specific reason or holiday season to dress up in fun costumes because you can easily throw a party of your own with a costume theme. With all the costume choices available these days that you can come across, finding a costume should be no problem at all.

Costumes and dressing up have come a long way from the simple Santa suits and Halloween costumes. You can come across much more variety these days at any store that specialises in this sort of thing. Some examples of the costume types that you can come across are for example:

Halloween costumes: probably the best known costume group type that has been around for ages, and probably longer than any of the costume ranges except for perhaps the Christmas costume group. The reason these costumes are so popular is because everyone, from adults to teenagers to children, can dress up in these outfits that cater for everyone. The great thing about Halloween is that it is not just for kids alone and anyone can get into it if they wanted to. Teenagers and adults don't have to worry that the costumes might be too childish for their liking, because there are outfits for both these age groups as well. Teenagers can dress up in poodle skirts and funky looking shirts, and adults can have fun dressing up in some glamorous outfits or outrageous ones as well.

Christmas costumes: aside from Halloween, Christmas is probably one of the most well known festive seasons around and Christmas costumes have become part of the festivities for almost as long as they have been around probably. People dressing up in Santa suits are the most common sights you will come across during the Christmas season, and they don't even necessarily have to be for during a party either. Santa Claus is one of the most recognized Christmas figures around, and Santa suits are one of the most recognized costumes around too. They are appropriate for parties or for any Christmas related event.

Adult plus size costumes: costumes today come in all sorts of styles, and all sorts of sizes as well. No one person is ever built the same way, especially adults, which is why costumes these days even conveniently come in the adult plus size costumes variety. This group of costumes encompasses almost the entire range of costume types and all you have to do is select the right size for you at your nearest costume specialty store.

Sexy costumes: these come in a wide variety of styles and designs and you can select the one you prefer based on your preference and what you are looking for. Sexy costumes are not only great fun to dress up in, but it gives you a great opportunity to just break out of your shell for once and do something you wouldn't normally do at any other time. You could dress up as something you have always wanted to experiment with but might not have had the opportunity to do so in the past. You could even design your own sexy costume if you wanted. Dress up in a cute poodle skirt teamed together with a sexy top of your own creation or choice.

Dressing up in great costumes is not just for kids, even the adults and teenagers can get in on all the fun too. Simply head to your nearest costume store and find an outfit that you love and you're ready to head to your costume party and have a great time.

Adult's Kiss Halloween Costume Wig




Are you set on going with a Joker Mask for Halloween? If so, you'll find that it is definitely a great costume to consider. With the popularity of The Dark Knight, many people are considering this type of a costume this Halloween.

While the movie was definitely popular and it really brought to life the characters within it, you'll find that the Joker just about stole the limelight from Batman in the movie despite being the bad guy. Here are a few tips that will help you to choose the perfect Joker Mask this year.

Tip 1 - Pick a Mask That Flatters Your Personality - When you are trying to pick out the right Joker Mask for Halloween, you'll want to pick out a mask that flatters your personality. If you happen to be more of a ladies man in an evil sort of way, then consider going with the mask from the Caesar Romero character, who was elegant and known as quite the ladies man.

Of course he later went on to be on the wanted list of Gotham City, but he still had charmed the ladies at one time. On the other hand, if you have a dark side and you're a bit twisted, then the latest Joker portrayed by Heath Ledger could be the perfect choice. It definitely portrays the aspect of horror and the twisted side of evil.

Tip 2 - Find a Mask with Hair - Another thing to remember when choosing your Joker mask is to try to find one that has hair with it. It can be difficult to replicate the joker hair on your own, and you probably won't want to have to purchase a wig too. So, look for the masks that come with the hair attached to them so you get the entire look for one price.

Tip 3 - See if It Comes with a Costume - While the mask could stand alone as your get up added clothing will definitely help you complete the look. While it is relatively easy to come up with some great costume choices from eccentric pieces of clothing from your closet, if you can get the mask with the accompanying accessories you'll go a long way to becoming the center of attention at your Halloween party.

Tip 4 - Compare Prices - Before you decide to buy the Joker Mask for Halloween or the rest of the costume, you may want to compare prices first. There are many sites online that offer costumes and masks but be sure to shop around. While it won't cost you and arm and a leg one of the major cost factors could be shipping and this is where you will want to pay attention to the prices being offered.

Lowest prices ever on Joker Mask for Halloween. Grab yours now while they last at Joker Masks for Halloween. Better hurry because supplies are limited.

You have just a little money and don't know what to get that significant other? Look no further than the kitchen. One of the easiest, most thoughtful and, yes, romantic gifts you can give to that special someone in your life is a home-cooked dinner of all their favorite foods.

What holidays are perfect for the home cooked meal gift?

Mother's Day is the best day to show mom you love her by serving her breakfast in bed. Moms love the opportunity to stay in bed while the kids make breakfast or dinner as long as they clean up the kitchen of course.

Father's Day is a good bet with dad, but instead of serving him breakfast in bed, make him a cup of coffee and bring it to him in bed. That evening, cook up his favorite meal, whether it is steak, chicken, pork chops or whatever.

Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas are all holidays that work best if you are going to cook a big dinner for the whole family. Often, by only spending $100 to $200 on food, you can save much more by giving the gift of a feast for your family and friends. You don't have to go all out, but do enough so that those who came to dinner don't think you went cheap on the dinner so you wouldn't have to buy gifts.

Valentine's Day is the perfect holiday to cook a romantic meal for that significant other. Serve him or her breakfast in bed to start, complete with a rose in a small vase. One special way to say I love you with breakfast is to spell out the actual words with pancakes. As for dinner, a candlelight dinner with flowers, chocolates and their favorite food is a sure bet for a memorable Valentine's Day.

Labor Day is the day to give the gift of barbecuing to family and friends. It is the end of the summer and the beginning of fall. The kids are going back to school, so you can give a gift to everyone by cooking up a bunch of steaks, hamburgers and hotdogs on the barbecue, making you the hit of the neighborhood.

All of these holidays are great opportunities for you to test out your cooking ability and make some special meals for some special people. One word of warning, don't make cooking your only gift, otherwise people will start feeling you are going cheap on them and soon enough, you may have no one to cook for.

{{CharadesWomensSizes}}


Halloween; it's fun, it's scary and it's all about frightful things that go bump in the night. It is a holiday that is filled with laughter and the happy screams of those who were spooked by the occasional Halloween decoration.

Unfortunately, Halloween isn't always fun and over the years, there has been an increase in the number of injuries and risks involved with Halloween. We have heard all the horror stories; spiked Halloween candy, eye injuries caused by flying eggs, and needles in candy apples. Although there have been cases of all of these, the incidents are significantly low compared to the major risk for children on Halloween night; children are four times more likely to be involved in a pedestrian/motor vehicle accident on Halloween.

Before you decide that you will stay in for the night, there are a few things that you can do to ensure that your children have a safe and happy Halloween.

Preparation:

It's not just the Scouts that should adhere to the rule "Be Prepared," since this is an excellent motto to live by. Before your children are completely wrapped up into the whole Halloween excitement, take them out and remind them of a few rules.

1. They should never go out by themselves. Make sure your children are accompanied with at least one adult or a responsible teenager when they go, even if they seem old enough to navigate the streets without you.

2. Remind them about traffic safety. Enforce crossing at crosswalks and not weaving back and forth from either side of the road. Also remind them both on the night and before about how to cross the street.

3. Refresh them on their manners. Don't push and cram against other children on the way to the house. I find this is one of the hardest to enforce since most children do not believe it when you say, "There will still be candy when you get up there, don't worry."

Preparing your children for the night's activities will go a long way in preventing some of the more significant injuries.

Be Bright:

Now I know this is Halloween and chances are you won't be lighting up like a Christmas tree but in the effort to stay safe, you will want to have a bit of light on costumes that are typically dark in coloring. Have your child carry a flashlight to not only find his or her way but to also alert drivers that there are children present.

Reflectors on costumes are also a great idea and there are many different lights, reflectors and glow sticks that you can adorn a child's costume with.

While you are getting your children all situated, make sure you don't forget yourself. Bring a flashlight of your own and attach a glow stick on your coat for reflection.

Lastly, stay in brightly lit areas and only visit houses that have a light on outside.

Keep the Costumes Neat:

Falls are often a common occurrence on Halloween night and the greatest cause of this, besides the rushing from one house to the next, are the long and oversized costumes. Try to find one that fits securely and tie or pin up any costumes that drag on the ground.

Try to pick a costume without a mask since masks often reduce visibility for the child. Face paint can create some pretty amazing affects and it is much safer.

Check the Candy, Twice:

I'm sure you have been there many times, trudging through the streets while the kids ask for candy from their bag. It can get a little hectic having to say no after every house but a great trick to combat this is to fill your pockets with a few pieces of candy from home. This way, the kids can have a few treats as they walk and you will be able to hold off checking the candy in the dark.

When you get home, go through all of the candy before the kids can eat any of them. Throw away any homemade treats like candy apples and cookies, or any treats that have been home wrapped such as jelly worms in a sandwich bag. Any packages that are torn or opened should also be discarded and any candy that has small holes in the wrappers should also be tossed. Sometimes it may seem like you are throwing a lot of candy away but there will still be enough to give a stomach ache or two for lasting childhood memories.

If you aren't sure about checking some of the candy, make a stop off at your local hospital. Many now offer an x-ray service on Halloween night to keep all children safe.

With these few tips, you should be able to enjoy a fun and safe Halloween with the only frightening thing being the little ghouls running around yelling, "Trick or Treat."

Disco Fever Adult Halloween Costume (Standard (One-Size))

Includes: Jacket with attached vest, shirt front and pants. Sideburns, shoes and necklace not included.
Customer Review: Disco Costume
This item was for a surprise birthday party for my husband. He absolutely loved it!


Your baby will only have one first Christmas and you want to make sure you don't forget anything that happens. Keeping memories of you baby's first Christmas can last a lifetime. Looking back as your child grows will make you remember different times in their life.

One great way to keep all the fun times during your baby's first Christmas is to start a scrapbook to save all the mementos from the big day. Make sure you take lots of pictures, from the time they wake up to when they see the first present they will open.

Be sure to get as many pictures as you can as they tear into the wrapping. These are memories you don't want to miss. If you have a movie camera be sure to set it up so the whole family can be seen.

Look back at some older home movies: you always see just one parent in the film because nobody had any tripods back then. It's so much better to see both mom and dad when looking back at the good old days.

You also want to keep as much as you can from your baby's first Christmas. Add scraps of wrapping paper, bows, and anything else you can think of to your scrapbook. Each page can be a theme and make sure you write down time and anything special that happened. This will help when you look back to remember all the great times you had on this special day.

If you have not done this before make sure you have a baby's first Christmas ornament with the year on it. This is something you want to hang on the tree every year. By keeping all of these special memories your special day will never be forgotten.

So if you make sure you keep as many different items and keep them in a scrapbook along with writing down anything about the day that you don't want forget. Just some small notes will be sure to make you remember that special day. By doing this you will be able to bring back your baby's first Christmas for years to come.

Retro Groove Dress Sexy Adult Halloween Costume 60s 70s Go Go Dancer Disco Bohemian Hippie Outfit

Go-Go Vixen Dress

This Item Includes: Retro Paisley Print Keyhole Dress

{{LegAvenueSizes}}
Customer Review: Very cute- but runs small
This costume is very cute and looks just as pictured. But I'm glad I knew Halloween costumes tended to run small and this one is no exception. I am usually a size M in ladies and ordered an XL. It fit, but quite snugly. Also it is VERY short. I realize that is the style of the 70s but I had to wear a black skirt with it in order to feel comfortable. But the print is bright and fun.


Assuming you already have a background on guitar tablature and know the basic guitar chords, you will be introduced to blues guitar chords, such as the blues movable barre chords. When the first finger of the left hand presses all six strings across the fingerboard, the finger acts as a bar. You will then be able to move several of the open chords across the fingerboard. Other blues guitar chords are A 7 B, blues rhythm guitar in C, blues shuffle boogie in E, blues rhythm guitar in A, riffs, scales and runs. These are just a few of the blues guitar chords you can get from online guitar sites.

Improvisation on the blues guitar chords can lead to other genres like rock, electrica, jazz, and rock n roll. It is unfortunate that most beginners underestimate the blues. Everyone wants to go the easy route and start playing guitar solos, but thats just wrong. To become a good guitar player and to even go halfway, the blues have to be experienced because the blues has it all.

Freeing your music

Its not that kind of blues. Nobody heres a candidate for Prozac. But if you want to be worthy of that guitar youre holding, read on and let the blues be your guide.

Wear the slide on the finger you are comfortable with, but practice wearing it on the others too. If you are using a slide guitar, do not use a pick. It will be awkward initially but you will soon get used to it.

Free Your Music and Your Soul With Blues Guitar Chords

Some tips for better blues

The basic blues guitar lessons involve the learning of the common blues introductions usually in the A key with alternates and variations. The melody and harmony lessons precede the blues rhythm. There are three primary chords frequently played in most blues the 1st, 4th, and 5th intervals or the 3 chords progression from a major scale. There will be several variations here. In the key of A, the triads are A, D, and E. For the key of B, it would be B, E, and F#.

When you have mastered the blues guitar chords, you will eventually develop flexibility and style. You can test the different blues guitar chords in different ways to create your own blues sound. And yes, this blues will bring a smile on your face.

Hold on to your blues guitar chords and practice all the time. Eventually youll make your way to the Blues Jam with your guitar. The Blues Jam is the venue to show off your talent, and this all begins with the blues guitar chords. The magical blues guitar sound will come later.

For their first lessons, beginners are given blues pieces by their instructors. This has basis, because the blues is the best place to start when you want to move forward with your guitar playing.

Dont give up on the blues

If you want a better sound when you play your blues guitar chords, use a guitar with big strings. Great blues guitarists prefer bigger frets too. This gives more space for their fingers, and there is less of a drag because there is minimal contact with the fingerboard.

Begin the blues

Learning the blues guitar chords is learning how all these work together. So you have to learn the chords by groups or chord progressions. Constant practice will attune your ear to the different tones produced.
