It’s finally Halloween!!!

As we stopped sending out orders yesterday at 3.30pm and needless to say there’s loads of people who left things to the very last minute to think of halloween fancy dress. Well not to worry. Were here to help!!!

Don’t panic and whatever you do Don’t go to your halloween party without a costume! A costume Can be a simple as a cardboard box with a sheet draped over it, some plates, cutlery and plastic cups and ofcourse your head as the main course – Your a dinner table for two!

As always the first place to look is over to our friends at Tread Banger who have some incredible Video’s on how to make your own costumes:

Here’s how to make your very own Big Foot Costume:

And for the Lazier amongst us:

So yesterday was an early start, 5.30 we were on the road to do a TV3 fashion show for Ireland AM. Great fun morning and had a great time with the presenters and the WWE stars who were guest on the show. Below is our little fashion show showcasing some of the most popular halloween costumes of 2008.

Ricky Gervais has an uncoming movie coming up called Ghost Town, due for release on September the 19th. As part of the lead up he spent a day chatting with a whole load of Journalists, and our friends at Spin 1038 went along for a chat. Our Spin friends being the lovely people they are (except James who enjoys making kittens cry for his entertainment), wanted to give Ricky a present and we hooked them up with a Lovely Whoopie Cushion Costume that he could use to further torment Karl.

Here’s an extract from Ricky Gervais’ personal blog, week 33:

“I found out that 1. every journalist in the world reads my blog, and 2. they all agree that Karl has a head like a f**k*ng orange.

One even bought Karl a present. A whoopee cushion outfit. Karl doesn’t know it yet but I will somehow get him to wear it for your viewing pleasure.”

If Ricky will post the pick of Karl in the costume on his blog, we’ll put it up here for you.

Were delighted to announce the arrival of one of the most anticipated costume of 2008 – Halo 3’s Spartan Master Cheif Mark 3 – if you don’t know what that means its safe to assume you don’t own an Xbox.

Halo is unquestionably one of the most successful series of Games of all times and the Lead Character is a pure legend in gamers minds across the world.

The Halo Costume represents great value for money and at the time of writing this we are the only online costume shop stocking this fantastic item.
