Ideas!  Ideas!  Ideas!  The Lazy Way to Halloween Costume Ideas!

Here it is, only a few weeks from my Halloween costume party, and I don’t have an idea of what I am going to wear.

Flapper Adult Costume

Costume pictured above is available at Buy Costumes.com.  Just click on the ad in the right column and type in “flapper’.

 Should I get out that Flapper dress that I bought last year?  I felt rather vampish last year. Or do I want something different.  I feel silly and goofy this year.  Maybe a Harlequeen (Harlequin) costume? 

If I look to current events for a costume, I might want to delay my choice until later, because todays’ current events may not be current in a month or so.

Should I rent or buy? 

 There is a National Costumers Association (aka: NCA) member store near you if you live in a relatively large city.  The NCA members are in the costume business all year round; unlike the seasonal shops who open up a storefront for a few weeks, then POOF!….Gone!   NCA members not only sell costumes, they also have rental departments.  When you rent,

you get much better choice, better quality, better service and the rental fees are generally not outrageous.
  If you want to view their member list by state, click this link for the National Costumers Association.  BTW, this site (the one you are looking at) and it’s management are not NCA members.

Soon, we’ll begin to dwell on Halloween costume ideas.
