Features Halloween costume ideas on Goodwill
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 12:59 PM
Or, from Goodwill, we should say.
Numerous people on my Twitter feed have mentioned Goodwill as a prime place to look for cheap Halloween costumes, and I couldn't agree more.
Here are some posts to get you started:
• Six unique Halloween costume ideas, including Crazy Cat Lady, Pinocchio and a NASCAR fan.
• Goodwill has put together a 33-page Costume Guide, which includes ideas on how to be a Garden Gnome, a character from the Twilight series, or someone from the cast of Glee.
• Stylist Melissa Lamkin was on WCNC this morning with Larry Sprinkle, talking about how you can get costumes from Goodwill for less than $20. Here's the video.
Of course, nothing beats checking out of the 20 area stores and seeing what kind of stuff you have to work with.
Features Halloween costume idea: BP Guy
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 12:05 PM
As the Telegraph reports, the BP boiler suit splattered with oil is becoming a big hit this Halloween.
"Its manufacturer claimed the success of the costume showed people across the US remained angry at the oil giant for its handling of the Deepwater Horizon disaster earlier this year," the article stated.
More than that, it's one of those costumes where people know immediately what it is.
SpicyLegs.com has the costume on sale for $48.53.
