Popular Adult Halloween Costumes for 2009

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I bring to you the best Halloween looks for the past year, I hope that you will enjoy them:

The theme this year seems to be time travel, so lets fire up the old DeLorean and head to our first stop on this little magical tour.

1. 1970’s Land

The Bee Gee’s are playing in the background; the disco ball is in full rotation and is that, wait, I think it is! It is! Wonder Woman! From the bottom of your long, white go-go boots to the top of that outrageous ‘fro, you are living the 1970’s all over again, baby. Miniskirts in every color ever dreamed up, and gold glitz, from eye shadow to the dress you are wearing. Glam and glitz rock on, but thankfully just for the one night. For the guys, grab the wide lapelled suits out of storage and grab those white disco shoes because we are going to boogie, oogie, oogie until we just can’t boogie no more!

2. 1920’s Land

Okay, hop back in our little time machine and let’s travel back just a little further- this time to the 1920’s where the flapper girls and gangster molls are all ready for a swingin’ time. Whether you choose to wear the fringed flapper dress and long pearl necklaces or dress in a sexy gangster girl costume, you will be the bee’s knees, the cat’s pajamas. Oh you kid!

Now, fellows, they say that Dillinger was no where near as pretty as Johnny Depp (who is?) but you could certainly recreate the look. Make sure you pull that fedora down over one eye and scowl pretty for the camera, boys. There, that’s a good thug.

3. Hot Tamales

Back in our own time zone, we find the land of the wowee wow wows. Vampy vixens, or vixen vamps, brazen boxers, naughty nurses, Little Red Riding Hood, Bo, Here’s a Peep and the other story book gals; they are all here and ready to make the men at the party start walking into walls and hurting themselves. Add in some fishnet tights and pigtails and there might be a need for medical attention, soon.  Oh, now boys don’t think you are getting left out in this category: how about a pair of black leather pants and a barely buttoned white shirt- sexy. Add a cape and you are Zorro. Add a cape and teeth and you are Count Sexula. The basic look is sexy and adaptable.

4. Cooled off Connies

Oh some people just can’t pull of the vamp look- they have that wide eyed innocence about them that just won’t let them be a sex queen. If you are more be my guest than Mae West, there are costumes for you as well- including the too cute, Raggedy Annie, Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and others. If you are stuck in subservient mode, then done a kimono and be a geisha. For the guys, try dressing to coordinate with your lady by being Raggedy Andy or one of the male characters from the Wizard of Oz. You have many good ones to choose from.

5. The Best of the Classics

There are some costumes that are a mainstay of the holiday and will always make a showing on every list. From the fangstastic vampiress, to the sexy kitty cat, these are here to stay. Maybe you would like to be a witch and maybe, just maybe you asp- ire to be Cleopatra?  Count Dracula is always a safe bet for the men, and what party would ever be complete without at least one wolfman?

  1. I would really like to see someone in a 1920′s sexy gangster girl look on a caucasian… Kinda touches me when I see black pinstripe skirts on white skin.

    If your fond of halloween or horror\fashion, watch the remake of Wolfman and see Emily Blunt sporting a victorian look. That’d be an interesting costume come next halloween.

  2. Ahhh excellent information
