All Hollow's Garb
by Jim Brown
Whatever your personality is, it is never a problem choosing a Halloween costume with all the available costumes that you can now find. Whether you have a very unpredictable character or an obvious one, there will always be room for surprises for everyone! And for those very quiet and reserved ones, you may even get to show your alter ego! Oh yes, the power of costumes and Halloween. Try stepping out of your comfort zone and live in a totally different identity for one night.
Medusa, Count Dracula, Santa with Mrs. Santa and even some pirates are a usual sight on Halloween. So why not dress like them? Else, why not be yourself and adapt your favorite identities. It's about personal style and personal choice. There now are a lot of available character kits in the market, which means there certainly is no hassle in looking for your favorite Disney or comic character. And if you're low on the budget, you can try subtle accessories that could enhance what you already have. For instance, if you are gifted with charming elf-like ears, buying a dwarf's hat and putting on some solid-colored pajamas, like red, will do the trick or treating. If you have an extra long nose, get a witch's hat and a long broom to instantly transform your look. A cape will get you into bloody action if you have unusually sharp teeth. Just show your teeth a lot. If you have angelic looks, wearing a white robe will make you look like an angel. And if you have majestic beauty, how about a tiara and a purple robe to jazz you up into a ravishing royalty. A gorgeous curly brown hair perfected with an exquisite face will only need green as a grass dress with whimsical bias hemlines to look like an earth angel.
But what if you aren't as lucky to have an already novelty face or what if you want to show off your alter ego? Like for a beautiful princess-like feature, you'd want to look like a monster just to try something new? Don't worry, make up kits complete with fangs, ears, horns and even nails are available in the market. Make up kits can change you into a clown, along with the huge red nose, a vampire, complete with the bloody lips fresh from drinking what else? Blood. Or you could paint some wounds on your face to look like the phantom of the opera along with the mask. For the total do-it-yourself transformation, cover yourself with a full black outfit and get white paint. Paint a skeleton all over your black attire.
Whatever you are dressed in, just act it out. Never get carried away to avoid getting in trouble and of course don't forget your goody bag. Happy trick or treating!
