The Costumer

I knew it was too good to be true. The real name of “Balloon Boy” is Falcon. You know, like the bird that flies in the sky? I think this whole hoax was something a long time in the making. I bet his parents named him Falcon with this in mind!

Conspiracy theories aside, “Balloon Boy” will make a great Halloween Costume this year.

To purchase or create the Balloon Boy costume,  check these resources:

Last weekend, I had the honor of participating in the Gypsy encampment set up at the 2009 Witches Ball in Mount Holly, New Jersey! Along with the crew of Seventh Kingdom IGE, I wore a detailed Gypsy costume and helped establish an ambiance.

One major highlight of the Witches Ball was the costume contest. Contestants came from near and far to participate for cash prizes and more. The “Best Overall” and “Scariest” costume winnings went to Jeff Shepard of Florham Park, NJ. Shepard appeared as “The Headless Man.”

See pictures of the winning costumes on the Witches Ball site. (more…)

Are you ’sick’ of all the hype surrounding the H1N1 swine flu strain? Looking for a funny, inexpensive costume? Maybe you think the tasteless Michael Jackson costume is just a bit too extreme. Feel free to issue protest during Halloween by representing the swine flu.

 If you have a bit more money to spend, you can go all out with the below pig costume. For a couples or friend costume idea, go with a sneezy person in pajamas! (more…)
