Went In A Costume?

Despite my temporary distraction with Bones – which I have finished watching a week ago, I’m still desperate for the return of Prison Break. September is still a long way off! So desperate was I that I’m already imagining Wentworth Miller in Halloween costumes! No offense meant there. But wouldn’t that be cool and fun?


Can you imagine him looking like these two furry mascot. That bear with flowers (for me) looks too cute.










Now speaking of costumes, are you wanting:

- sexy or plus size Halloween costumes?
- kid (yes, they even have costumes for babies!) or adult Halloween costume?
- dogs and pets’ costume?
- Renaissance, pirate, TV and movie or comic character costumes?
- accessories like scary masks, etc?
- theater make-up?
- holiday decorations?

Or as early as now, are you looking for costume ideas? You definitely need not look too far because I know of a cool place that will take care of all your costume shopping needs.

It’s a one-stop costume shop that offers everything you need from costumes to accessories to decorations and even make-up!
And what’s so great about it is the fact that they ship anywhere in the world. So wherever you may be – are you in Vietnam, China, the Philippines, the UK? – you need not worry. They are going to have your orders right at your doorstep.

And there’s a trade secret I am itching to divulge now. Are you in for a secret? It’s actually about the secret HAUNTED HOUSE backdoor that will open up to a great discount. And when you get lucky and find it, you will get a discount code that you can avail when buying any costume, props, decorations, accessories etc..etc.. – as in anything in the store! To get to the Backdoor, here’s my instruction: Go to the homepage halfway down on the right and click on the brown comma in the line that reads “Our Store now has over 8,000 masquerade items for you to choose from!”

Tell Us What's Classic

If someone would ask my mother who she thinks embodies a classic fashion style, I’m sure she’d say: Jackie Onassis. She adores her. In fact, she named one of my sisters Jacqueline after Jackie O. Maybe I would think so too if I had been in “her time.” *smile*

But to me, it’s got to be Princess Diana. With her simple yet elegant dresses, I believe Princess Diana is an epitome of classic fashion style. Her critics would have said otherwise but I always think she has this cool sophistication in her. From intricate to simple designs, her gowns always enhanced her beauty. Sometimes I wonder if it’s her who becomes her gown or her gown becomes her. I only wish I could say the same to myself when I wear a gown, which could only happen once in a blue moon! *grin* Come to think of it, the last time I wore one was on my wedding day.

Now, I’m really not a dress/skirt-type of girl and I haven’t worn a dress in ages! Give me a good fitting jeans and a comfortable tee (never mind it’s the rattiest in the closet) and I’m ready to go. Jeans and tee ensemble just never goes out of style for me. Don’t you think that’s classic?

Hmmm? Classic? Not classic? Tell us. But you could tell us better what’s classic for you by making a 30-second video advertisement for Dockers and joining the Dockers contest. Who knows you might just win the Dockers contest and get to see your very own ads shown during the broadcast of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on NBC.

An Excerpt Of My Pants Story

Last year, I had written a post entitled The Pants (War) Story. It’s about the shift in pants style.

Here's an excerpt of my previous post:

I detected few pairs of Skinnies strutting around town. Just a few of them that you could count them by ticking off your fingers. But although there were just few of them, you couldn't miss noticing their attempt to knock the Flared-sies over their firm perch on the fashion ground. They were throwing off stones, shooting arrows, firing water guns, stomping their feet and stepping on toes firmly rooted to the ground.

Comparatively, if Flared-sies were Goliath, then Skinnies were David, feebly trying to topple a giant.

Skinnies, persistently trying: "You just wait! When our time comes, it will be a riot!"

Animosity was unmistakably high in the air. But of course, it's not the first time that Skinnies showed up their gorgeous heads, err legs. They've been here before, they graced the fashion ramp, walked all the streets of the globe. Until their time came, a time when they eventually lost their appeal to the fashion gurus. A sad time when they would have to be shelved back
to old cabinets and bauls…

This story was inspired after I bought myself a not-yet-trendy pants that fit perfectly like a second skin. It’s one of those Skinnies, actually my first since the resurrection of Skinnies and it has, though not a Dockers, been my favorite friend.

If you have a pants story to tell, you might want to make a video out of it and submit it to the Dockers contest.

New York, New York

Are you interested to enroll to any fashion school in New York? Here’s a tidbit for you. Do you know what these famous names - Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Donna Karan - have in common? All three are New Yorkers. And that must speak something about fashion in the streets of New York.

So for those in the lookout for New York fashion schools, keep that in mind because fashion schools New York may just put that dream of yours into reality.
