Indian Costumes – P.C ?
Author: Denise
I'm going to review and show some great Indian costumes from the web. As a woman of Indian decent (feathers, not dots (haha I love to say that)), I have to say that maybe my people have a little too much political correctness. I don't find things like Indian mascots, Football, baseball, basketball or any other ball using Indian names, offensive. If my people just sat back a moment and thought about why they use those terms, they'd realize it's kind of a compliment. After all, with the watered down version of our tribes and lineages, anything that embraces our culture should be cherished. Do I mean that every term that has "Indian" in it isn't offensive? No. Stop using the term Indian giver. Now THAT is offensive. But an Indian costume? Sexy, regular or stereotypical, it really doesn't matter, in my opinion. I think that anyone that chooses to wear an Indian costume pays homage our people. Is it a little cheesy? Sure. So, the heck, what.
I can take a little cheesy. Don't we use cheesy costumes to idolize our favorite people? Who really liked Elvis in that jumpsuit? Anyone? I doubt it. He looked like a giant white bratwurst with black mold growing out the top. I still love it when people wear that costume. And I still love Elvis just as much. You know why, at 39, I can adore Elvis? Because people wearing his costumes have brought him to life for me. Every time I see that costume, I know who it is and I'm reminded of him again. It's no different for culture costumes. And I love them all. From Indian to Italian Renaissance costumes to movie costumes.
If you're thinking about wearing Indian Costumes, I've put together a few ideas which I think are funny, fun, cheesy and great.
First here are some available on EBay.com. I like Ebay because it puts a lot of vendors together in one spot competing on one page. It also gives you a chance to bid on auctions. That means you get to choose exactly how much you're willing to pay for any costume. And since Halloween comes once a year, paying a lot for a costume isn't something many of us want to do. So here are some cheap Indian costumes available on Ebay. You can scroll further down for my choices on Amazon.com.

US $5.99
Along with EBay I have a special affinity for Amazon.com. Amazon, like EBay, has a wide array of products that give the shopper an instant view of prices from all different merchants. What I like about Amazon, more than EBay, is that they offer free shipping on a lot of their products. When you spend a few hundred dollars on anything and you get free shipping, you're not surprised, When you spend thirty bucks on an item, it's probably a surprise to get free shipping.
Girls Indian Costume $25.00
This little girls Indian costume is very cute and is a fairly accuaret representation of the typical Indian girl from the past. Although it doesn't represent all Indian tribes, you'll find a fair number of tribes dressed and used the skins of their kills (which is why most of the costumes look like brown leather =)).
The costume has seven 5 star reviews on Amazon.com, which is why it's listed first. A great buy and, according to customers, a great costume. It comes with the headband, but not free shipping =(.
===========================================================================
Boys Indian Costume Amazon.com $25.00
This is the same costume, only in boys form. The only reason it doesn't get the full five stars, is one of the customer's ordered the wrong size without contacting the seller (as the seller requests). It's always really important to read size charts, and if the seller says contact them regarding the size, it's usually because the sizing is complicated. Be sure to contact the seller if you're unsure about the size.
============================================================================
Adult Indian Costume Women
This is one of the best sellers for adult Indian costumes on Amazon.com. It costs about $25 and comes in regular sizing up to 16. It is definitely one of those costumes you'll want to check with the merchant on sizing. As it reads 14/16 which means all the sizes work like that (6/8, 10/12 etc). Those are pretty broad ranges. I'd check the hip sizes specifically with the merchant.
=========================================================================
Adult Indian Costume Men
Although I don't think this is the most fantastic costume, it is one of the only full adult Indian costumes for men. =/ At $26.99 it's fairly cheap too, which is a bonus. And it's Zoogster costumes that's selling it, I always like their stuff.
Anyway I hope you feel comfortable wearing an Indian costume again, despite some p.c. concerns =). Happy Halloween guys and gals!

Wolverine Costume and Star Trek Costume – Thats Whats Hot
Author: Denise
With the release of the Wolverine movie, there's a surge of costume searches for these characters. Don't be left in the dust this Halloween when you pick your costume.
The Wolverine costume is available in many styles. The character from the comic book and animated series always wore a yellow lycra-looking suit with black boots. This is the most common costume available. However the movie version looks very little like the animated version.
How to make your own Wolverine Costume This year its easy to make your own Wolverine costume, if you're prepared properly. Buy a safe for skin adhesive (usually at a craft store) and a used wig. You'll need a picture of Wolverine (see below) to customize the wig to his hairstyle. Additionally you'll need a second wig to use as facial hair, heavy sideburns.
Cut long strips of pointed claws from cardboard and cover in aluminum. Each piece of the claws needs to be adhered to the inside of your fingers using the adhesive. It's wise to use small soft hairbands to keep them in place as well. You can cover the hairbands in colored spray paint to match your skin color. That is truly a cheap costume, but if you want more cheap costumes for Wolverine which look a lot better check below.
