Gorgeous or Ghoulish... or Both

The Awesome Costume
from Joie de Vivre


It's that time -- the time for the serious Halloweener to get in gear and begin planning this year's outlandish outfit.... if she hasn't already.  Here are some ideas from hand-spun to haute couture to get your creative costume juices flowing.

talk about creative!  a living breathing comicbook
a cute and easy twist on a popular floor game
comfy, easy & oh so malevolent  
totally awe-inspiring... and equally time-consuming
now go perch yourself on someone's lawn
for those who look like a Barbie doll, may as well play it up playrfully
layers, gloves and a bonnet will make you the Southern belle of the ball 
a kimono, bedecked wig, parasol and classic makeup can change you completely

Going grey - this monochrome approach makes for the most interesting of ghostly get-ups
be a Bollywood babe with some layers, bangles & eye makeup
turn men to stone as a modern Medusa 
homemade Bellatrix LeStrange
upgrade your basic party toga to give you goddess status 
Simply get a gown from the thrift store, add tulle puff sleeves, the pointy crown & wand, and voila! You have Glinda.... or is it Galinda?
accessories make this Venetian wonder
pretty without being overt, look closely, her midriff is covered 
wow, this has got to be the cutest clown costume ever
classic literary beauty, and rentable too!
for fairy flirty, just add wings
a little paint can go a long way
OK, so I added this pic just because I love it
this one too
