I know that I did a post yesterday, and I don't typically do two in a row.However, I just couldn't resist doing a special, vintage Halloween post!Simple as it may be, I hope you guys enjoy a few costume ideas and some old-school Halloween entertainment!
COSTUMES
Want to get in touch with your vintage side and sport a classic Hollywood look this Halloween?Well, here are just a few (basic) costume ideas:
Judy Garland as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz 1939
You can actually find this outfit already assembled for you in most costume stores.If you want to do it yourself, just curl some pigtails, wear a white button-down shirt with a blue dress, and find some sort of dog to carry with you.
Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany's 1961
You might not find this one in a costume store, but its super easy to create and very iconic.To do it yourself,just find a little black dress and some gloves.Put your hair back and complete your look with a fancy necklace and a little tiara.Oh!And Holly wears some big sunglasses in the film while she's enjoying her breakfast outside Tiffany & Co.
Marilyn Monroe
Everybody knows this infamous moment.And, again, this is definitely a look that almost all costume stores carry.If you want to do it yourself, put on a sexy white dress,some heels, and pearl earrings.You can wear a platinum blonde wig, or, if you're brave, you can dye your hair and curl it.Finish your look with some bold eyeliner and red lips.
Lucille Ball as Lucy Ricardo on the I Love Lucy show
Another simple, classic, iconic look which you might be able to find in a costume store.To do it yourself, wear a 50's type dress (fuller skirt,collar, short sleeves or halter straps),flats,red lipstick,and pearl earrings.Now,about that hair!You can more than likely find a wig.If you're brave, you can dye your hair and put it in a curly updo.Or, if you're a natural red,like me,you can skip they dying process.
Laura Prepon as Donna Pinciotti from That 70s Show
I know what you're thinking.That 70s Show isn't old.It's not a classic film, tv or radio show.You're right, but the characters on it are from the 70s,and therefore have some pretty crazy,vintage outfits.Plus, they're fairly recognizable.Take it from me,I've dressed up as Donna before (possibly more than once) and everyone thought it was great.
Plus, this is the world's easiest outfit to put together.Part your hair down the middle and straighten it.Throw on some flared jeans,a plaid shirt,some sneakers or clogs, and a nametag that says "I'm with Foreman" (or Foreplay.Take your pick),"Donna Pincipotti," or "Big Red."
And don't forget,these are just a couple ideas.You can always go with the classic 20s flapper look, or be a 50s guy or gal (both of which are popular looks in costume stores).
And now for a little entertainment, courtesy of Baby Snooks.They might seem kind of long since they're in multiple parts but they're really not, and they're most definitely worth your time.Click the links for special Halloween episodes of The Baby Snooks Show:
