Cheetah Woods: A picture's worth a thousand words. All you need is the hat and a kiss on the cheek; if you own a collared shirt, some slack and sneakers ... your costume is complete!

Political Activist: With the November elections just after Halloween, why not get in the spirit of political activism. Show off your smart and sexy side and you'll be sure to get the vote!
Michael Jackson: Be the "Queen of Pop" and dress up to remember the forever missed, MJ. This one is sure to be a "thriller."

Flapper: Bring it back a few decades ... to the 1920s. Relive the experience as a new woman breaking out in a way like never before. Flapper costumes are always in style; they're fun, flirty and classy.
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum: There's always that one person in your life who completes the other half; for better or for worse. Get silly and stupid with a friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife or whatever! You're definitely not going to see a lot of this vintage costume around!
The Cowardly Lion: You're sure to be irresistible in this one; who doesn't love the Cowardly Lion? It's not too often that you can dress up in a giant furry suit, so take advantage of the chance and skip along to the Land of Oz!
