Halloween is just around the corner. As much as I look forward to this time of year, even I have to admit I have no idea what I am going to be this year. I don’t normally dress up. After all, I am always handing out candy, and it can be very intimidating to children to walk up to the “Grim Reaper” and ask for candy. This year is going to be different.
This year, I plan on going out all weekend and then handing out candy, in a costume. I went down to the Spirit store, and other Halloween stores, and looked around at various costumes. Still, I have no idea what I should be for this Halloween. Here is some of the most popular costumes for people this year.
Men
Angry Birds- Yes, this phone app really has taken over.
- Captain America- Everyone wants to be a hero.
- Charlie Sheen- Watching his train wreck has inspired a lot of people.
- Mad Men- This retro television show has inspired many men to dress this way for Halloween.
- Tron- Yes, this science fiction movie will be coming to life this Halloween
Women
Black Swan- Everyone wants to be a ballet dancer, and now they can be.
- Playboy Bunny- Every woman wants to feel sexy.
- Nicki Minaj- To be pretty, a top singer and get to dress wildly, why not!
- Smurfette- Designed originally as the bad guy, this good girl has a wild side too.
- Repunzel- Tangled is an endearing movie, and face it, long blonde hair without the work is many women’s dream. Here is the chance to get it without the long wait.
Kids
- Witch- This Halloween classic never goes out of style
- Princess- Yes, this implies girls only, but hey, boys can be princes!
- Super Heroes- Spiderman is the number one super hero this year, but expect to see a lot of the other traditional heroes too.
- Pirate- Yes, there are girl and boy pirates out there and yes, Disney is to blame.
- Pumpkin- Yes, now kids can be the pumpkin and carve one too!
Pets
- Lady Gaga- Yes, this celebrity has become a top pick for your dog.
- Panda- Many people are dressing their pets up as other animals.
- Dinosaurs- You think your dog is crazy now, dress him up as a Raptor!
- Horse with Rider- Many dogs will be sporting a rider of some type this year.
- Angel/Devil- Yep, many owners will be putting their pets’ personalities on display for all to see.
I’ll keep you posted as to what I decide to be this year. What about you, what are you being this year?
