George and Martha come to town for 4th of July

We’ve got a birthday to celebrate! In just a couple of days America will turn 233 years old! Everyone seems to celebrate it in one way or another, or at least acknowledge it.

I just say the words, ”4th of July” and immediately you’ve got images of fireworks, parades, and barbeques flooding your mind. Everything is red, white, and blue. Uncle Sam has a big grin and is dancing about in the streets. Flags are waving away and there’s an overall feeling of happiness, right? At the very least, most of us think of the 4th of July as the start of summer and spend some time outside basking or playing in the sun – slathered in sunscreen, of course.

Here’s some interesting facts you may not know about Independence Day. Share them with your friends and family and you’ll look utterly brilliant, and, no doubt be the life of the party on the 4th of July.

• The first Independence Day was celebrated on July 8th, 1776 – not on the 4th!
• The 4th of July wasn’t even a federal legal holiday until 1941!
• In 1776 there were 2.5 million people in the 13 original colonies. Last year on the 4th, there were 302 million in 50 states.
• The US imported about $216 million of fireworks in 2006, with $206 million from China.
• We also imported $5.3 million in flags – again, mostly from China.
• Americans eat more than 150 million hot dogs on the 4th of July!

Throw on your party clothes and celebrate Uncle Sam’s birthday. Do it in style. Red, white, and blue is the way to go - whether you’re in a bikini, shorts and a t-shirt, or a suit. Top off the look with a party hat just right for the occasion. We’ve got yourtraditional Uncle Sam top hat! You just can’t go wrong with these! They are all really well-made and fun. I love the quality of these and the velvet-like material they are made out of. They are comfy as can be and hold their shape fantastically. And they all have this great little feature - size adjusters inside. You can make them fit your head perfectly. This comes in really handy for me – being of the more compact size than most.

These are these are the perfect party-hat for whatever type of birthday celebration you may having for our country this year. I’m thinking — great with a bikini at the beach or in the stadium watching some killer fireworks extravaganza.

So get out there – watch those parades, hit the beaches, light up the grill, oooh and aaahhh over fireworks, wave your flags, blow your horns this Independence Day. Celebrate! It’s party-time!

Go Grease Lightning!

GO GREASE LIGHTNING

Go Grease Lightning!

            This Halloween, adorn yourself in one of our many fabulous 1950s costumes, and allow your mind to drift back to a time when dating meant “going steady” and love meant “getting his pin.” Pay homage to one of the best movies of the time, Grease, and get your Sandra Dee on!

            Our Poodle Skirt and Sweater Hallowen Historical 50’s Costume is ever so pink lady! Is that Rizzo you’re imitating? Or perhaps, Sandra Dee? Oh Danny Zuko, wherefore art thou? This costume includes a pink cardigan sweater and flared poodle skirt with a sequin and felt appliqué. It even comes complete with a polka dot scarf. Tie the scarf around your neck for added flair, and you’ll swear you’ve gone back in time!

            Why its Grease Lightning! This Poodle Outfit Costume is exactly what Sandy would wear before she joined the Pink Ladies. A turquoise poodle skirt with black felt poodle embroidered on, with a sweet white shirt and black cinch belt. Wear it to the diner, or to the bowling alley. Anywhere you go, you’ll be styling. Saddle shoes not included (but we’d recommend you get a pair!)

            The great outfit above also comes in pink! This is something Frechie would be all over. Can’t you just see her prancing around the parking lot in this full pink skirt? It even comes with black cat’s eye glasses just like the ones Frenchie would wear. Go all out with added pink scarf and black cinch belt. Just don’t forget, if you try your hand at beauty school, try not to dye your hair orange!

            Our Poodle Outfit in Pink and Black is Patty all the way! It’s sugar and spice and everything nice, with just a dash of naughty thrown in. The black skirt has an adorable embroidered pink poodle, and we recommend tying the pink scarf around the neck just like the picture shows. Just beware, Rizzo’s never liked you, and just because you’re wearing black doesn’t mean you can win her over.

            To top off your fabulous fifties costumes and do Grease right, make sure and get the necessary hair accoutrements! That’s right, wigs. For Frenchie, we recommend the 50’s Housewife Auburn Wig, while Sandy can be perfectly mimicked with our Sandy Ponytail Wig. No matter which Grease Girl you choose, make sure you bring the number one best thing about Rydell High: SPIRIT!

Elvis! Elvis! Let me be!

Elvis, Elvis, let me be!

            This Halloween, try rockin’ and rollin’ with the King with our Elvis costumes! We recommend practicing your dance moves in the mirror and exercising your singing voice in the shower.

            Our official Elvis Black Leather Suit Adult Costume is a natural showstopper that includes leather pants and leather jacket. White t-shirt isn’t included, but we’d recommend you get one, and a microphone really tops it off. Now all you’ve got to do is slick back your hair and work on those moves.

            The great thing about the King? Well, there are many great things, but one of them was his ability to switch it up. Just like Elvis himself, we’ve got multiple outfits to help you rock in style. Our Elvis Gold Lame Suit Adult Costume is another fabulous option. This baby is solid gold and includes pants, jacket, shirt and gold bowtie.

            Looking to imitate a very specific look? Try our Elvis Presley Jailhouse Rock Adult Costume.  Costume includes pants and high collar jacket with white stitching, Black & White striped shirt. Jacket features the King's last name and jail house number as seen in the film.

            Go a totally different route than normal with our Vegas Vampire Elvis Adult Costume. This baby is made for the strip, with its loud prints and excessive cape. Costume includes shirt with attached vest, cape, jabot.

            Whichever costume you do choose, remember that the only reason Elvis was king was cause he had the ‘tude and the moves to go with his fame! Stretching, dancing and singing are recommended as practice to get in shape for this fabulous costume! 

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow!

            This Halloween season; deck yourself in decadence with our wide selection of wigs. Wigs are one of the easiest ways to add a little pizzazz to your costume. Sometimes, they can even be a costume in and of themselves! Our wig selection is sure to dazzle with everything from 80s rocker chick to Marie Antoinette. Read below for ideas on how to rock a wig everywhere from the supermarket to the office.

            Feeling fancy? Our Marie Antoinette Wig makes you feel as though you’re born royalty. With a large pile of curls in perfect formation, this wig makes a statement with or without a costume. This look is made with a stretch fit cap, and is washable, so if anything goes down with the prince and you just “happen” to get lipstick in your curls, you can wash your sins away!

            Play the part of Maid Marion in our Medieval Blonde Adult Wig. This wig is impossibly long and blonde with a skin tone part and gorgeous side braid. It’s made for maidens and princesses. Play it up with a medieval dress, or make like Rapunzel and put it all in one long braid.

             Do you love Lucy? I sure do! Our I Love Lucy Wigis the perfect imitation of Lucy’s trademark red coif. The bright red sheen of this wig guarantees you won’t go unnoticed. We recommend changing it up and wearing this one to work on Halloween day. You’ll have people seeing double!

            Feeling groovy? Snag our 60’s Pop Icon Wig and make like Twiggy way back when. This short, layered blonde style fits perfectly over and style of hair and turns the modern day diva into a retro chic beauty. Wear it with your favorite sixties style dress and load up on the mascara and eyeliner! Good to go, groovy girl!

            Do an ode to your rockin’ childhood with our 80’s Multicolored Shag Wag. A blonde do streaked to perfection with red and orange, and layered just like the good old days, this wig will have you whipping out your air guitar on the subway. Addicted to love? Maybe. Addicted to 80s? Definitely.

            Whatever wig you choose; make sure you pair it with a whole lot of personality. Hair today, new hair tomorrow! 

We've got a desire to inspire some evil!

We've got a hankering for horror!

            What could be better on Halloween than a horrifying costume?

All clothing is, of course, in a black and white scheme. Pile your hair atop your head and carry a shovel. We’d also recommend practicing a frightful scowl.

Makeup your Face on Halloween!

Makeup, Makeup, Makeup!

This Halloween, no costume is complete without the right makeup. In this two part series, we’ll show you what makeup can be used for what costume, and how to apply it.

            If you plan on being a vampire, a wolf, a zombie, or anything that might require some blood, you have to have our Blood Gel.Blood Gel is a deep red syrup-based blood that never dries, giving the look of oozing, wet, thick blood. Washes off easily with soap and water. Apply with a paint brush, Q-tip, or your finger.

            No clown costume is complete without a full out face of makeup. Sure, that red nose is important, but the white face and special designs are the most important part! Our Bozo Makeup Kit is the easiest way to get all the makeup you’d need for a clown costume in one place.  Make-Up kit includes large tube of white cream make-up, six mulitcolor crayons (white, red, black, blue, green and yellow) and one applicator sponge. Use the sponge to cover the entirety of your face white, then use the crayons to draw fun shapes atop the white. Also check out another clown kit here.

            Joining the army for one night only? The best soldiers know you can’t blend in without some camo. Our Camouflage Makeup Kit, This E-Z Character FX makeup kit includes: Two white sponges, Mini shaker of powder, Mini puff, Small flat brush, and Black, wolf brown and green make-up. Use the kit to paint stripes of green and brown that extend across your entire face!

            Another must have is our Colored Liquid Body Latex Paint. Use colored liquid latex to create exotic, dazzling and durable fantasy designs. Colored Liquid Body Latex is bold and rich with color and has excellent elastic properties allowing for ease of movement and comfort. Once applied, these fantasy designs can walk, dance, and even swim with you so long as they don’t get heavy friction. To remove, simply scratch loose an edge and peel off.

            Have to fake an injury? It’s easy with our Ex Fx Injury Kit. Kit includes blood gel for the cut, a white makeup sponge to fake that pale look you get when you’re hurt, a black stipple sponge for the blood gel and an ‘injury stack’ with four colors to fake it well!
