Halloween is Only 361 Days Away

It’s never too early to plan for next Halloween.  It’s only 361 days away and the countdown starts now.

So after 5 or 7 or 9 years of buying costumes, you should have a decent wardrobe for next year.  If you have enough, you might be able to take one part from one costume and another part from another costume and even make a ‘new’ costume.

If you don’t have enough bits and pieces to make another costume, this is a great time to ‘buy forward, so to speak.

The Halloween shops have probably closed, packed and vacated your city by now; but if you have a local costume shop, they may or may not be willing to wheel and deal.  No merchant wants to carry over their inventory until next season.

Some merchants have up to a 60% off of selected items for a limited time. You might want to take a look before these deals go away.    Or check our Amazon Halloween costume store (look for the tab below our banner).  If we find any, we will post them today or in a day or so.

And guess what’s coming up soon?  More Thanksgiving stuff on our Amazon Store. Click tab right below the banner on top of this page.

Looking Evil this Halloween

Are you the girl next door? The boy next door? Have you all your life been known as “a good kid”? Well, with Halloween right around the corner, this is no time to be polishing your halo. If you’re chronically cute, the trick to looking evil this Halloween is all in the eyes and makeup Forget the costume for now. Without scary eyes and makeup , that vampire outfit is almost useless.

The eyes have it.  Smudge your base color on the lid, blending up and out towards the brow till it pretty much just fades away. A nice grey would work well for this. Next you need to intensify that color with a darker color by adding it to the crease of the following the natural curve of the socket. Lighten under the brow line and use a round makeup brush to smudge it the two colors together starting from the outside in. Go easy on your eyeliner and do wear mascara. If you look younger than you are, your eyes will be just right for this look.Halloween Makeup

Disney now turned to adapt another of their classic movies into a musical, this time Mary Poppins The musical premiered once more overseas, in London, and this time made the successful transition over to Broadway. The challenge of translating the animation into real life action and costumes didn’t occur for Mary Poppins The show maintains the movies original look and even costumes in Mary’s case but also add new flair with brighter colors and adding same color pieces to the Banks children and Burt to convey their closeness to Mary.

 

Leon (sometimes written Léon) Bakst, as main set and costume designer for Les Ballets Russes in 1910, designed the sets and all costumes for the wildly extravagant production entitled Schéhérazade produced by Serge Diaghilev. The Chief Eunuch costume was translated from his design work into reality by costumier Marie Muelle and her crew. It is currently owned by the National Gallery of Australia, purchased in 1973 along with many other Ballets Russes costumes, and can be viewed by appointment. I saw it in March 2011 when they showcased an exhibition of costumes from Les Ballets Russes.stage makeup,Halloween makeup,stage costumes,Valentines Day costumes

One of the key challenges will be assessing what is in the boxes. It would take years to catalog the individual items. Skokan and her staff will essentially classify the material into topics and sections that will intuitively make sense to researchers and the merely curious. It helps that the library staff labeled the boxes they removed noting the locations such as “marketing department.” It can take 10 hours to classify a box’s contents and place them in acid-free folders or acetate sheets and replacing rusting paper clips with stainless steel models. Using staff and students, it costs about $15 an hour per box.

Once you are given your costume, you put it on and wear it, no matter what You cannot reject a costume because you think it’s ugly or stupid or you just don’t like it. The director and costume designer have a specific vision for the show, and your costume is one aspect of it. You also must wear the costume the way the costume designer tells you to. You might think it looks dumb to tie a sash around your shoulder and want to tie it around your waist. (You also don’t get to change the item once previews are over, either.)stage makeup,Halloween makeup,stage costumes,Valentines Day costumes
