As Halloween approaches people start getting ready for all kinds of fun and healthy celebrations.
These will include parties and street celebrating.
Horror tours of all sorts and spirit hunts as well as many others are all part of our Halloween traditions.
One of the things during this season is the dressing up side of things.
All these activities, and countless more, are highlighted by the wearing of costumes.
Fitting into and living up to the characters we choose to imitate on Halloween is all part of the tradition.
There are many different aspects of wearing a costume that make it so attractive, but two of these stand out.
One is that you tend to blend with the character (in the greatest possible taste, of course), and the other is people's reactions.
When you go out and meet others for Halloween, you are always on the look out for their expressions of delight and surprise.
(Here sexy outfits also come into their own).
One of the things that is also great fun is when you are not recognized.
You can nearly see the thoughts flowing through their minds as they wonder "Is this Thingy-me-bob? or is it Whats-his-name?".
You can actually make a game out of this by holding out on your identity for as long as possible.
Humor is part of Halloween and costume wearing provides a great opportunity for humor.
Some outfits that in reality are exaggerated versions of a person, are brilliant in this respect.
Other Halloween costumes are totally out of the ordinary but incredibly attractive.
One of the principle of wearing a costume is to catch peoples attention - and to do this you have various options: 1.
The scary costume -Innocent you, all dressed to kill (in a nice sort of way).
Just don't over do it with the kids.
As I child I once came across Cruel la de Ville and somehow could not come to grips that it was actually my Grandma.
2.
Sexy Pirate Wench, or any of the great looking sexy outfits.
Actually this genre should have a whole section to itself.
The costumes available are breath-taking and yet the still maintain their humor.
3.
Costumes Inspired by Movies.
Every year we get new costumes that are creative and really good.
These can be both scary, light-hearted and a lot of fun.
Just think of any of the movies this year, Avatar or Alice in Wonderland for example.
The costumes based on these characters are enough to hit exactly the right look, the look you want to impress in people's minds.
