Halloween Costumes for Women

Every year, Halloween costumes for women have been very limited in choice and shopping for Halloween costumes for women can be a real ordeal. In order to alleviate this problem, and to initiate Halloween costume ideas 2009 for the general public, internet retailers have released the Top 10 Halloween costumes for women.

As you will see from the list, Halloween costume ideas 2009 are greatly influenced by simple themes and pop culture. Here is the list:

Alice in Wonderland

Star Wars

Star Trek

Sexy Pirate

Vixen Barmaid

Sexy Princess

The 1980s Era (eg. Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, etc.)

“Hot” Fairy

Cowgirl

Cheerleader

Recent events within the past year have vastly impacted Halloween costume ideas 2009. The recent passing of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson have inspired a resurgence in the 1980s era of big hair and louder clothes. The anticipation of the Tim Burton film, “Alice in Wonderland” has sparked several Alice and Queen of Hearts costumes.

Pop stars, like singer Shakira, incorporate costumes into their regular wardrobes, which has created interest in a variety of princess costumes.

The top Halloween costumes for women are also consistent with today’s economic mentality. Consumers, especially female consumers, want costumes that provide great value, that can be reused for other party occasions, and those that require few (if any) additional accessories.

Also, any of the top ten Halloween costumes for women can be spiced up to make them more sexy. Traditional Halloween costume ideas 2009 can include a flirtatious touch with low necklines, short skirts and other enticing materials to make them stand out.

2009 Halloween Ideas #1 - Octomom

So here are some original ideas I found regarding costume ideas 2009. Halloween is fastly approaching, so hopefully this will get your thinking caps going....

Here is the OctoMom. Pretty original, but still lacking in creativity. I would have done more with the clothing....The fraternity brother Ernie costume in the background is amusing though.

2009 Halloween Costume

Well, the 2009 Halloween costume race is on!!!

Halloween 2009 is now officially a little over a month away. And I can imagine that, before you host your Halloween party 2009, your first order of business is to perform the annual ordeal of choosing a costume.

I believe that a lot of Halloween costumes (or at least Halloween 2009 costumes) will be more handmade this year. Due to the economy, many are forced to cut back on the luxury of buying a commercial costume, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are forced to cut back on the Halloween spirit.

I always tend to find the handmade costumes to have a little more originality and flair than a store-bought option. Since most companies have to mass-produce their Halloween 2009 costumes, it tends to restrict a consumer's choices.

Anyways, that's my thought for now...In the coming weeks, I will be posting some videos and pics to help give some ideas for your 2009 Halloween costume....
