You’ve go to hear my bizarre dream about Food costumes. So I’ve been on a diet for about a month now and the urge to resist junk food has become overwhelming. As I eat my celery sticks and prepare my special food, the memory of potato chips and Snickers haunt me, but not as much as the Pizza Man in my dreams. I don’t mean a cute guy carrying a large pie with extra cheese, I’m taking a man in a Pizza Slice Costume, chasing me while yelling “eat me, eat me!”
The dream played out like a football game. No doubt my husband was watching sports highlights as I was dozing off. So, Pizza Man is chasing me and my escape depends on my speed along with an offensive line of assorted vegetables and fruits (yes, with legs too) blocking the pizza. But in the blink of an eye, Raman Noodles, Twix and a Taco join Pizza. I’m getting breathless and feel me will power weakening. Halfway down the field, Orange got squeeze and Broccoli, well he just plain stinks. Just when I though all hope was lost, Banana gave them the slip and the junk food was laying on the field like a pile of garbage. In case you are wondering, yes, this was an actual dream. When you are surrounded by Halloween costumes for a living, this is what happens).
Nevertheless, I woke up this morning victorious and 2 pounds lighter. Food costumes have helped me face my demons and stick to my weight loss GOAL!
In China, conservationists dressed in panda bear costumes to minimize the human impact while releasing pandas to a a nature preserve. Although this may have been a necessary consideration, it is still amusing and definitely not something you see everyday. I love animals just as much as the next person so it got me thinking about other situations in which large animal costumes could be worn for the consideration of the real animals and animal conservation.
Here are a few ideas:
Men can wear Turkey costumes and chicken suits to minimize the trauma of human interference while the poultry make their way from the farm to the dinner table.
A cowboy can put on a horse costume and wear a saddle while another cowboy rides him to show wild horses how much fun it is to be broken and tamed.
Rock climbers can wear Eagle costumes while scaling mountain sides so they don’t disturb the natural scenery or frighten the wildlife.
Can you think of any others…perhaps about a monkey suit, lion, tiger or even a raccoon? If so, drop us a comment and let us know. In the meantime, you can find all kinds of animal costumes for men,women and children at Costume SuperCenter.

From the moment the players ran on the field in their Super Bowl Uniforms you could just feel the tension and excitement. It was a tough fight to get to the Super Bowl but the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers did it. This year, cheese was stronger than steel. Green Bay held the lead for the entire game with the Steelers close behind at the end. In the end it was the Packers who took home the Lombardi trophy and Arron Rodgers who was the MVP.
Chances are, if you have sons, they were glued to the TV. Hopefully you let them stay up late to see the big finish. If they were wearing their Green Bay Packers or Pittsburg team jerseys it probably made them feel like part of the experience. Imagine if they were wearing the entire uniform? Costume SuperCenter is proud to carry the Franklin Sports Team Uniforms for ten of the top teams in the NFL, including the Green Bay Packers Football costume and the Steelers costume. The other teams are: Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, Colts, Raiders, Dolphins, Patriots, Jets.
The football uniform costumes feature pants, a jersey, a helmet and shoulder pads. Not only are they officially licensed by the NFL but they are customizable to your favorite player. You can customize the helmet and jersey with adhesive and iron on numbers. You get sheets with enough numbers to be any player. Boys who are Steelers fans can make their costume #43 for Troy Polamalu. Green Bay fans can be #12. The football costumes are perfect for wearing during games, for dress up play and for Halloween
For the second consecutive year the costume manufacturer, Disguise has won the Spud Award for “Soft Goods Licensee of the Year.” A portion of their Halloween costumes for children and adults are based on Hasbro Brand toys such as My Little Pony, Transformers, GI Joe and games like Scrabble, Candyland, Twister and Mr. Potato Head. Costume SuperCenter proudly carries all of these costumes plus many more by Disguise.
Creating costumes based on toys and games is a clever way to bring the product to life. Its one thing to take a character such as Transformers and make a Bumblebee Costume but it takes another level of talent to translate a Scrabble board into a Halloween Costume dress with letter tile accessories or make a Women’s Candyland Dress look sexy. For this alone they deserve the award.
In addition to the creative costume offerings, Disquise has a great way of delivering quality while keeping budget in mind. So Congratulations to Disguise. Take a moment to check out some of their costumes on our website. Here are some of our favorites:

Dreamgirl costumes from Costume SuperCenter are versatile Halloween costumes that will completely transform you in a matter of seconds. It gives to the chance to get a lot of wearability out of one costume. They have three options: Quick Change Costumes, Reversible Costumes and Versitile Costumes. Faster than Clark Kent can step into a phone booth and step out as Superman you can go from one look to another. There is no need to carry around a bag with a change of clothes. Everything you need to complete your transformation is already on you.
The Quick Change Costume concept is two completely different costumes in one. In a few simple steps you can go from Gangster to Gorgeous Flapper, a costume that goes from a black pinstripe dress and gangster hat to a hot pink flapper costume with a sequins headband. You have to see it to believe it. It’s so easy that it takes only seconds.
Reversible costumes help you get more bang for your buck. You can get two costumes for the price of one, The Happily Every After Red Riding Hood and Dorothy Costume comes with a dress that is red gingham on one side and blue gingham on the other. It comes with accessories that go with both outfits.
A third option is the Versitile Costume. This doesn’t transform from one costume or another but it does give you many different ways to wear the same costume. We especially love the Sexy Hocus Pocus Six in One Witch Costume. The sexy black dress can be quickly adjusted to give you six completely different necklines: wide halter, strap halter, high neck halter, one shoulder, strapless and v-neck with cap sleeves.
With any of these costumes you can go into the ladies room one way and emerge with a whole new look. It will keep your friends guessing and give added value to your costume. With just one costume you can go so several parties and look like you spent a fortune of costumes when all you did was make a really smart purchase.
Who ever thought you could mix a KISS costume with a Lady Gaga costume? One would think its completely impossible to have costumes more outrageous than anything they would wear but low and behold she has done it. She has mixed her signature style with Paul Stanley’s star boots creating a rock/pop hybrid costume of epic proportion!
You’ve gotta check out this video below by Zennie Abraham. He gives an amazing commentary on Lady Gaga meeting KISS at the PNC Bank Art Center in Holmdel NJ last week. I especially love this not only because I LOVE KISS but because I pass the PNC every day on my way home from work and saw the tailgating crowds that night, just wishing I could be among them. It also would have been cool to catch a glimpse of the Poker Face girl dancing in the crowd.
Watching that makes me feel a little bit closer to being there. No one wants to “rock all night and party every day as much as me but I have this blog to write. At least I’m happy knowing that I have direct access to the highest quality licensed KISS costumes as well as Lady Gaga outfits and so do you. All you have to do is go to Costume SuperCenter. You’ll find Authentic Rock The Nation KISS Costumes that are high end collectible quality as well as deluxe KISS Costumes for men and boys. We also have the official boots, makeup and other accessories.
Scarlet O’Hara would be terribly upset if she could see the tattered condition of her beautiful dresses. She would most certainly prefer the pristine Scarlet dresses from Costume SuperCenter.
Word has it that her beautiful dresses are in tatters. The organization that holds them is looking to raise $30,000 for their restoration. 30K seems a bit steep to me. In this economy is seems wasteful to restore the Scarlet O’Hara costumes to new. I’d rather see them displayed in their current condition. It would make them seem like they survived the events that happened in the story. It would also lend to the idea that they are civil war era rather than 1939.
For all the male enthusiasts of the movie we have a very handsome Rhett Butler Costume that pairs perfectly with any of our any of our Scarlet dresses to create the perfect Gone With The Wind couple’s costume.
