It’s getting dangerously close to Halloween, and if you haven’t got your costume yet… or a good idea for your halloween costume, then you’ve come to the right place. Fracas (that’s me, not to be confused with fracas the blog… which is also me…) has been busy hunting down ideas and great buys for you.
First… the ready made. These are just the ticket if you don’t sew, have no time, hate being creative but want to look the part, or are just plain lazy and out for the fun without all the fussing. It helps too, if you find a great place that offers inexpensive $4.99 Flat Rate Shipping! I mean seriously… who wants to spend a fortune on shipping? No one. Put your savings into a great costume instead. There’s still time to order a costume by standard delivery and get it before Halloween, but don’t dawdle… time is running out!
These are a few of my favorites, and why. (Clicking the images will take you to the costume site)
From left to right:
A. Being a fan of the subservient* variety, I had to choose the chicken. I wonder though, how many folks would monopolize the evening by asking the wearer to do all kinds of naughty things? (Found in the ‘Adult Costumes’ section)
B. Anyone who reads the fracas blog knows I celebrate “Talk Like a Pirate Day” each September, so this one is obvious. I might have to get it not for Halloween, but for next year’s “Talk Like a Pirate Day” festivities. Arrr… (Found in the ‘Adult Costumes’ section)
C. I love this scarecrow! He’s got just enough of a fraccy edge to him for me! (Found in the ‘Adult Costumes’ section)
D. How can you not love this? From famous characters to the tried and true, the Kids section has some fractastic finds. I personally love the Tinkerbell and the Cinderella! (Found in the ‘Kid’s’ Costumes’ section)
There’s a reason this is one my favorite costume/party sites online. The costumes look good, and there’s something for every budget. Whether you’re looking for mascot, adult or kid’s costumes, plus size costumes, accessories like shoes, wigs, makeup… or party supplies, there’s a section for you. Some of the best looking costumes out there can be found among the 10,000 they carry, and in many cases, shipping is even free.
I’ll be back with more later. For now, happy halloween shopping!
* Written about over at the fracas blog, Subservient Chicken was a marketing ploy by Burger King. Visitors to the website thought they were typing in a command and the chicken was doing what they asked. In truth, the chicken was filmed doing a variety of actions that were predetermined. Still… it was funny, and a bit of creative genious.
