Whip It

I just watched this movie and I gotta say that by the end of it I really kinda liked it.
I didn’t watch it because I thought the costumes would be great, but I also ended up liking them.
A very 80’s retro type thing is going on with the costumes and they really got it down nice without throwing it in your face.
They are cute, kinda sexy, a tad racy, but still… just good roller derby costumes.

From a costume standpoint these aprons are actually my favorites from the movie. They just rock! Very cute, very stupid, and very 80's.

Top picks for racy new costumes August 2009

Here it is folks….
My hot August list of new sexy costumes for 2009.

This month I am shying away from the normal and going for some themes you don’t see every Halloween.

Do something different this year.
Let’s Get Racy!

1) My # 1 top pick for for august is this Enchanting Queen of Hearts costume.

The Enchanting Queen of Hearts Costume

The Enchanting Queen of Hearts Costume

This is my favorite new sexy costume this month because it is very elegant, very enchanting, very glamorous, and very sexy.

Plus I really want to see Tim Burton’s new Alice in wonderland movie coming to a theater near me soon!

2) My second pick for new for 2009 sexy costumes this august is this sexy clown costume.

The Sexy Clown Costume

The Sexy Clown Costume

Why a clown costume?

Because clowns are not usually sexy and this costume makes for a sexy clown.

A costume like this will allow you to be as goofy as you want and not be taken to seriously while still making everybody look and say ” WOW, She Is Sexy! ”

Imagine the naughty things you can get away with while dressed like a clown.

3)Third place goes to the Moulin Rouge Mime costume.

The Sexy Harlowquinn Moulin Rouge Mime Costume

I love this costume for all the same reasons as the clown costume except it also allows a person to be even  a tiny bit more naughty than the clown costume would while still not getting in trouble for doing it. All in black and white.

Do it with actions – not words.

4) The Adventure Annie Costume

You will be ready for action in this awesome adventure outfit.

I was going to make some swingin’  jokes to go along with the Indy line, but I figured that would be to much … plus it would leed me on to puns about finding treasures and the like so I will just leave all that to your own imaginations.

5) The Ally Capone Sexy Gangster Costume.

I know that the sexy gangster idea is not the most original and that each year you most likely see at least one girl dressed up in some sort of gangster outfit, but I liked this costume so much I just had to include it.

One of the reasons I like it is because so far when looking at the new 2009 costume lineup this is also one of the best matching costumes for couples I have seen.

Sexy gangsters costumes

What a duo you could be in these hot and sexy costumes.

So that is why Ally Capone makes the list. You – or you and your partner can make the most wanted list this year for sure with these racy gangster outfits.

So, That’s it for August folks.

A super great bunch of super sexy, racy costumes all new for 2009.

Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett?

I am and always have been a big Joan Jett fan.
Back in the 80’s I saw her play a few times and because I was in the right crowd at the time I even got to party with her a couple times … or maybe I should say that I partied at parties she was partying at. Got to see that other side so to speak…. and I stayed a fan.

The last time i saw her was in 2004. It was a small show at a casino in WA state… It was pretty cool show – she still can rock. Her hotel room was just under mine. No parties that night.

When I heard they are making a about the Runaways I was pleased to say the least… then I heard that Kristen Stewart was to play Joan Jett.
WTF!
The Twilight girl is playing Joan Jett?

Please understand that I am no Twilight fan.
Port Angeles WA is my home town and the way the movie portrayed our area was so annoying I couldn’t see past the stupidity to enjoy the film.
Plus … the movie made me think that the producers of Twilight are prejudice against Native Americans and Hispanics.
If you have never been to the west end of WA you wont understand why that is, but just to give you an idea…. Forks WA is mostly Whites, Mexicans and Natives.
Notice that only the whites showed up in the film. Oh… excuse me.. they have Native werewolves. Umm… o.k., but those are not the kind of Natives that live in the NW. They imported the Twilight natives from some way different place.
I’m gonna stop now. I can rant forever about that movie and how little it had to do with anything that resembles Forks or people from Forks. I am just glad they had so little in the movie about Port Angeles.

O.k… now that I am done with that.
I finally saw some pictures of Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett.
Wow… she really looks the part.
Dress her up in a Joan Jett costume and she seems pretty sexy.
Black leather can do that to the right kind of girl.

So.. I am going to give her the benefit of the doubt until I see the movie.
Who knows… maybe she will make a fan outa me.

On that note: I really hope to see some girls dressed up for Halloween this year as Joan Jett.
Or better yet… a group of girls done up in costume as the The Runaways.
It’s a good excuse to get a little bit hardcore with the retro fun and lipstick.
Everybody loves retro costumes and certain people love punk… so – I hope I have given you your Halloween costume idea.
Send me a picture if you do it!

Farewell Farrah Fawcett

I had been planning to do a whole post on the old sci-fi movie Saturn 3, but beauty icon Farrah Fawcett would have been the center of that and since she just past away I just wasn’t into it.
Farrah was a huge movie star and model who stole the hearts of millions over the years.
Her early work included many sci-fi roles and modeling assignment = she was big into the costumes in those years.
She will be missed.

Farrah looks awesome in her sexy black saturn 3 costume

Lucky Bunny Easter Costuming

It is almost Easter. Holidays are my fave as you all know by now because they give such a great excuse to dress up. Easter is more of a serious holiday not really aimed at parties and the like,  so it doesn’t lend itself so well as other holidays in that regard. It does have bunnies and Easter egg hunts and little baskets filled with straw though.

Coming home to find your darling all dolled up as bunny is a sweet surprise. You could even make a game of it and leave him a note telling him it’s egg hunt time. Hide the eggs with each one giving a clue as to the location of the next until it leads to you… super fun.

If you want to take this game to the limit you could hide the eggs around town (very well so nobody else finds them) and have them lead to a hotel room. Have it all set up romantic with you in a bunny outfit holding an Easter basket with champagne and chocolates. wow!

If that is overboard for you.. the simple act of being in a bunny outfit when he gets home will be awesome enough  I am sure. Plus just getting dolled up as a bunny is easy and not expensive. You can get sexy ears and a tail for under $10. or you can get some very nice full costumes at …….
