Mad Hatter Costume

One of the most popular themes for 2010 has been the Mad Hatter Theme Party, arising from the popularity of Disney’s Alice in Wonderland movie.

The theme of the Mad Hatter Party can incorporate the fantasy characters of Alice, the Queen of Hearts or of course, the Mad Hatter.

So why don’t you get some friends together and have them around for tea at your very own Alice in Wonderland party!

Say "Eh-oh" to the Teletubbies

From 1997 to 2001 children’s television experienced the wacky adventures of Tinky Winky (purple), Dipsy (green), Laa-Laa (yellow) and Po (Red). Children the world over were hooked on the multi-coloured creatures and couldn’t get enough. Similarly, adults got in on the craze and everyone knew what “Eh-Oh” meant. The Teletubbies were so big that even a single they released into the UK charts went to Number 1 in 1997.

TheCostumeShop.ie is now stocking adult Teletubby costumes, the perfect costume for childrens’ parties, or get some friends together and make the full group as a clever Halloween Costume. Each costume is standard sized and includes the headpiece, full suit and shoe covers.

Really surprised about the news from The USA that target really dropped a sensitivity bomb and brought out a Halloween costume that manages to offend some of their own loyal customers!

The controversy is based around a costume of an “Illegal Alien” which clearly makes fun of the Mexican population that do not have green cards. In LA in particular where this is a major problem, coupled with the recession, this is likely to cause tension and likely violence during Halloween.

So just remember when getting dressed up and picking out your costume, be a little sensitive towards your surroundings. No point in having fun at the expense of someone else when there are so many costumes to choose from.

I’m getting very excited about 23rd of October and the brand new SAW VI film.

If your a horror fan then this is a must see, definitely not one for the squeamish though. Ofcourse make sure you check out our SAW Costumes – Think how scary it would be to be sitting in a cinema and suddenly realise that the SAW Puppet was sitting next to you… haha i’m totally going to do that!
