Lady Gaga Halloween Costume Themes for 2010

Lady Gaga exploded onto the music scene in 2008 and hasn’t been out of the limelight ever since. Her costume changes have lead to comparisons with Madonna, except that Gaga’s, it seems, are much more frequent! If you’re a female and want an eye-catching Halloween costume this Halloween, why not become Gaga for a night?

Lady Gaga Costume Ideas: Leotards and Long Blond Hair

When Lady Gaga began her career she was known for not wearing any pants. Instead, she choose leotards, long blond wigs and distinctive big sunglasses. This is the classic Lady Gaga look and the big costume manufacturers have produced a number of outfits to suit this style.

The Pokerface Adult Lady Gaga Halloween Costume Kit is a great way to get started without having to buy too many items. It comes complete with the statement wig, long black gloves, sunglasses and eyelashes so you can create the look. Just team it with a leotard and you’ll look just like the Lady herself! Don’t forget to combine this with the statement hair bow clip, which is sold separately.

Next up we have the officially licensed Lady Gaga Halloween Costume Blue Swimsuit, new for 2010. It features a vibrant blue swimsuit (showing off the legs in a way that would make Gaga proud!), with side cutouts, a plunging neckline and structured shoulders. It doesn’t come with the wig. You can buy the Lady Gaga Straight Adult Wig with Bangs separately. Combined, you’ll have an extremely distinctive Gaga getup!

The other officially licensed Lady Gaga Halloween costume to be released in 2010 is the white VMA performance outfit, coming with the crop top with attached sleeve, white hot pant shorts, boot covers and the white lace eye mask.

Lady Gaga Halloween Costume Accessories

There’s no shortage of Lady Gaga Halloween costume accessories. If you want to buy your accessories then you’re probably going to want to get a wig. There are two major choices here: the blond wig (mentioned above), or the shorter blond curly wig that she was sporting throughout the first half of 2010 and in the hit video to Telephone. You can also combine the wig with the classic Lady Gaga headscarf or the Lightning Bold Makeup Kit for a more authentic look!

Lady Gaga is also famous for her hats. Instead of buying one readymade, why don’t you make your own? There really are no limits when you’re dressing in a Lady Gaga Halloween costume: the woman who wore a telephone as a hat! Be as creative and, more importantly, as BIG as you possibly can. Make heads turn and you’ll really be living like Lady Gaga!

Don’t forget the beer can hair rollers, as we saw gaga sporting in the Telephone video. A somehow classy way to wear trash! But we wouldn’t recommend teaming it with sunglasses made from lit cigarettes as she does in the video. You have been warned!

She calls her fans “Little Monsters” and that’s just what you’ll become with this Lady Gaga Costume theme for Halloween 2010!

Hosting a Haunted Halloween Party

No one says that you have to go out to have a good time on Halloween. Parties are one way to spend the evening at home and still have fun. Guests have fun and also find safety. Maybe this year you will host a Halloween party of your very own.

Send out invitations well in advance of the event. We know the date of the party so that is not a problem. Most people will either be attending another party, going trick or treating with the kids or attending your party. Let’s hope they attend your party.

Come up with a menu for the event. Ghoulish treats such as witch’s fingers or Jell-O eyeballs floating in the punch may be great for kids but a bit too macabre for some adults. In that case, stick with spooky decorations and normal looking food.

The best thing about Halloween parties is that they can be planned for both adults and children. Careful planning will give the adults time to unwind while the children are otherwise occupied. Tend to the children first.

In the early evening take the kids for a little door to door fun. While they are going through their snacks and eating finger foods that you prepared in advance, the rest of the work for the adult part of the party can begin.

If you want to serve drinks, keep it simple. Beer and wine involves less work than an open bar. Anyone drinking can’t drive home. Designate a driver or walk from home to the party. Neighborhood Halloween parties have the convenience of close proximity.

Have a few age appropriate Halloween videos for the kids to watch in the family room or living room when the guests retire to the patio or backyard for fun. Host a costume contest or a pumpkin carving contest. A little Halloween karaoke might break a few noise ordinances, but it will thrill the guests. Who knows all the words to “Monster Mash”?

Since the kids are a consideration, hosts can ask each invited guest to bring a dish to the party. This way, cleanup is faster and the host doesn’t have to do so much hard labor. They will appreciate the help.

Any types of games that are planned should be played before drinks are served. Too many accidents occur when someone’s judgment is impaired by alcohol. Want to host a Halloween party? Grab the most frightening decorations, some eats, and creepy music, mix with a few friends and you’re sure to have a great time!

Sexy Halloween Costumes

Sexy French Maid Costumes

The label “Sexy French Maid Costumes” is just about redundant! The image of a French maid is sexy enough without the word tacked on at the beginning. So, it is little wonder that many men love the idea of their wife or girlfriend dressing up in sexy French maid costumes. And, these days, Halloween is not the only time people don costumes. Between costume parties, theme parties (even adult parties!), a couple’s wedding anniversary, maybe some harmless role-playing fun and Valentine’s Day, there are plenty of occasions when sexy French maid costumes might come in useful.


Of course, some people are less than enthusiastic about the idea of walking into their local costume store and looking at some of the more risqué sexy French maid outfits. For that matter, the nearest store might be quite a long drive away. So, between embarrassment and gas prices, you might want to search for an alternative. Well, fortunately, in this day and age, an alternative is a mere mouse click away. If you go onto the Internet and do a search for costume suppliers, you will get quite the list. And, one of the best out there in cyberspace is BuyCostumes.com, which will have just what you need in terms of sexy French maid costumes.

Then, some sheer black stockings will draw attention to your legs, especially if you really shorten the skirt. A trim little lace apron, a hat and a feather duster go a long way toward completing the illusion. Again, many thrift stores will have some examples of these. For that matter, simply buying an apron at your local store and clipping it can sometimes be enough. With a little imagination, you will be surprised at how you can create several different types of Sexy French maid costumes.

Frugal Halloween

How do you celebrate Halloween when there is little cash in your wallet? The frugal Halloween way, of course!

Even though Halloween is the second highest spending season, you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to give your family a fun and memorable Halloween.

Here are a few frugal tips from frugal moms.

Trade Costumes – Organize a costume swap party with friends and neighbors. Most certainly, they all have costumes that their children have either outgrown or aren’t interested in any longer. Make a pact to yourself that you are not going to spend money on costumes this year.

Make Your Costume At Home – Look around your house for old clothes, hats, accessories and craft supplies and make your own homemade Halloween costumes.

Plan Ahead! – Halloween candy and treats start appearing on store shelves around the first of September. By keeping an eye out for sales during the months of September and October, you’ll avoid that last minute panic of not having Halloween treats and paying full price.

Buy In Bulk - …. But be realistic about the quantity of treats you really need. If you only have ten or twenty kids ringing your doorbell every year, consider splitting a large, bulk package of goodies with a friend or neighbor.

Think Outside The Candy Box – There is no law that says you have to give candy to the trick-or-treaters on Halloween. In fact, many kids love to see something different in their bags when they get home. Plastic spider rings, pencils, mini microwave popcorn packs, mini pretzel bags, sticks of gum are all great, economical and healthy treats to give away.

Try Pennies And Stickers – Kids love stickers and stickers are a terrific popular, but frugal, treat to give away. Tattoos can also be a huge hit! It sounds strange, but a bowl full of pennies will make any kid’s eyes light up. Decide what you can afford to give to each child before your doorbell rings for the first time.

Make The Decision Now – Decide right now that you’re not going to spend a lot of money this year during Halloween. Keep your resolve as you walk through the discount stores and see the multitude of Halloween decorations beaming at you. By keeping it simple, you will provide a memorable and cost-effective Halloween for your family.
