Electric Picnic Outfits

Monday, August 18th, 2008

With the next of Ireland’s big festivles on the horizon, everyone seems to be getting geared up for Electric Picnic 2008. With acts as varied as Candi Staton to Underworld its promises to be an excellent and continue to live up to its name as the being the sophistacated festivle.

Sophistacated it may be but when there’s festivles there’s alway those that go the extra mile in effort and show up in costume. Beyond the obvious attention that one gets there are some key advantages to festivle going in fancy dress:

* You don’t have to worry about loosing your friends – Asking randomer punters where’s Radio Active Man? Is an easy way to keep track on your fellow costumed friends – even if there in another arena, someones bound to have noticed.

* Super hero Costumes come with absolute authority to rescue pretty girls, regardless of the situation, even sometimes from their own friends / boyfriend. They could be in distress, who knows, just grab and run… Should they not be impressed tell them its your first day as a superhero. They can’t be mad if its your first day on the job.

Batman Dark Night – The Kids Version

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Thank to Jason (founder of) Mahalo for sharing with me this really Cute Video of a kids recreation of Batman the Dark Night.

Paris Hilton Costume

Friday, August 8th, 2008

So, Like, One of the biggest celebs on the planet at the moment is Paris Hilton. Personally i just don’t get it. She’s not that smart, hasnt really done much worth being proud of… and yet here she is making millions for doing very little.

So if your like (my opinion of) Paris Hilton, A Paris Hilton costume is really easy to pull off. Simple add the above Wig and whatever dress you have that shows off the most flesh, adjust your attitude to plain rude and your away. Its the ultimate easy costume.

This week the most watched Video on the internet is Paris Hilton’s – running for president video. One thing i do like about her is that she can laugh at hereself, who knows maybe the dim thing is all and act. I might even stop supporting the keep your promise campaign after she appeared in P.Diddies Vote or Die campaign and then didn’t vote herself. Ok Paris you can live.

Costume Ideas

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Continued from previous post.

When deciding on what you want to dress up as at an up coming costume party there are a few things you should first consider:

3. Are you going solo, as a couple or a group?

  • Solo Costumes

Lets ignore the questionable reasons as to why you would be going out alone dressed up in costume. Famous people who work alone include Bettle Juice, Batman (Dark Night Verison ofcourse) and Wonder Woman.

  • Couple Costumes

Call it cute or disgustingly loved up but couples in co-ordinating costumes has seen a big up turn in the last few years. It doesnt have to be that he’s your Superman and your his Super Girl, do everyone a favour and be a little more creative. After all why make enemies out of every single woman at the party??

Couple CostumesSuper Couple

How about sending your boyfriend along as a dalmation then showing up as Cruella de Ville!

  • Group Costumes

To really make the most of a fancy dress party, group theme’s are the way to go. Be it Comic Book hero’s – Maybe the whole justice league! Or what about having your own StarWars Re-inactment on the dance floor. Or my personal favourite – a bunch of banana’s and a few Gorilla’s to chase them.

4. Do you want to be Sexy or just plain hilarious?

Its an issue often over looked, but a costume party can be the ulitmate seduction situation if you play your cards right!

Ladies love a guy in Uniform and what could be better than going for a prince charming or White Navy Officer Costume like the one Richard Gere Wore in the Film An Officer and a Gentle Man.

And ladies… well lets face it – it’s an opportunity to be as slutty as you like and blame it all on the night thats in it. Who needs a better excuse than that.

Fancy Dress ideas (Part 1)

Monday, August 4th, 2008

When deciding on what you want to be at an up coming costume party there are a few things you should first consider:

1. Who else is going to the party and what are they likely to go as?

If your going on a Hen Night or Stag Party the chances are that nearly anything goes, on the other hand if your niece is having a sweet 16 fancy dress party just imagine the conversation with your granny trying to explain why the below costume is supposed to be funny:

2. Where is the Party Going to take Place?

I remember going to a costume party in a nightclub where one genious arrived in a wet suit with snorkle, flippers and all. Good costume idea right? Wrong! After an hour of sweating buckets and toasting himself alive the ambulance carted him off, for a fun filled night of rehydration via a drip and several days off work. So if its going to be in a warm function room or nightclub less is more and if its outdoors make sure you choose something warm:
