Halloween costumes
Halloween is still almost two months away, but seeing as how it is one of the biggest excuses to party, it deserves some adequate planning. It is the one time of year where girls can dress in the skimpiest outfits and no one can call them a slut. It’s the one time when the streets will be covered in pumpkin guts and when everyone can drink until they puke. Oh wait, that last one happens all the time.
In all seriousness, Halloween is my favorite pointless holiday and searching for the perfect costume starts very early. This year is going to be themed for me and my boyfriend. We’re going as Padme and Anakin from Star Wars. And this year I’m actually going to buy my costume instead of try to make it. (That failed miserably a few years ago.) BuyCostumes.com has over 15,000 costumes for various holidays, but mostly for Halloween. Their costumes are all new and are usually much cheaper than you would find in a regular costume shop. My Padme costume is going to cost me $50 from them, but when I found one in the costume shop downtown, they wanted $100 to rent it.
Well, it’s getting down to the wire and I, like you enjoy a good pointless holiday. My favorite is Arbor Day, but halloween is up there. While I hate buying costumes, I have to admit that it’s the most efficient… Gone are the days of sifting through the Salvation Army’s best…
Yes I would most certainly purchase a costume online rather than rent one. Most good online costume sites offer free shipping as well, so it is a win win….
I always make my costumes myself. It is sometimes more fun then the halloween itself. I buy things from the shop or find them at home. Anyway it is usually very cheap. And you can be creative!
I also try to make them myself. But sometimes you don’t have ideas, time or you’re just too lazy. If something like that happens try to rent a costume from a theatre – they usually have the rental service, the price isn’t very high and you can be sure your costume is professional and well made.
Renting from a theatre is something I’ve never thought of. That’s a great idea!

I always think I want to make my costume, then I can’t decide what to make, I procrastinate, and then I just have to buy one anyway. This year I’m buying something incredible early. I’m going to rule my college this year!
Over the past couple of years I have also purchased my costume online as you can get them fairly cheap and then you don’t have to spend a lot of time or effort into making your costume. However, I noticed that some of the handmade costumes can actually be some of the more unique and cooler Halloween costumes.
