Oh boy the date for the release of Iron Man 3 just keeps getting closer! We cannot wait, and I bet you were just dying to see the new Iron Man 3 costume as well!  Here you go… enjoy!

If you watch the show you know that many times the living has gotten a way around the dead by dousing themselves in walkers blood.  Yuck- but if it saves me…I’m doing it.  I am thinking a similar approach but by using a costume.  That’s right blend in with costume now, then should the time arrise don’t hesitate to douse yourself in the walkers stench.

Here are some great options for blending in with Zombie costume or view all zombie costumes and accessories

 1. HellO Irish!  These awesome irish adult shoes feature a 2.5 inch heel, a black rounded sparkly toe and green sides with gold trim and buttons and a green clover on the front.

2.  Grab a pack of these fun straws, 6 straws are included in each pack.  These silly straws have a green moustache so that when you are drinking through it you appear to have a St. Patty’s day fun face!

3.  OH yeahhh the luck of the Irish is usually red (orangish) hair!  So go ahead and get in the spirit and use these self-adhesive eyebrows, sideburns, and beard! 

4.  For the party!  Or get together, everyone must choose and wear the badge- in this case themed glitter tattoos, and plenty to go around with 144 per pack!  These last about 3-5 days and are easily applied and removed!  (TIP:  Use a warm wet rag to apply and baby oil to remove.)

5.  Impressive and comfortable!  This awesome wig easily fits over your head with a stretch band around to stay on with comfort!  The banner across the forehead reads:  “Happy St. Patrick’s Day.”

Every party needs decorations, and I tend to go a bit overboard when it comes to decorations! I actually ordered gifts for my daughter AND party decorations all in the same place from Costumes4Less.com Yes, Costumes 4 Less also has party supplies and gifts!

-Cat in the Hat cardboard cut-out stand up.
-Cat in the Hat hooded beach towel
-Cat in the Hat chair
-Red and Bermuda blue table ware
-Party pack with red/blue balloons, streamers, decor
-Plastic champagne flutes
-Red paper lanterns garland
-Blue flag banner

I know there was a bunch more that I ordered along with that! Anyways, a couple of the things I ordered I modified to make more “catty” decorations. These were bought decorations with extra special time put into them giving the party more of a diy feel.

I especially order the red champagne flutes because when I was a kid I always loved pretending to drink out of the fancy cups. Well these flues were fancy with a twist! I painted white lines on all of the flutes so that they would resemble Cat in the Hat’s hat. Then I took the red paper lantern garland and when it arrived it’s folded together, so when you open it up, it pops out to become a lantern. Well I keep this unopened and then just painted the rims of it with my white. I then popped it open and hung to dry, but this created a cute mod mini Cat in the the Hat’s hat decorations! Let me just say everyone loved them! Sometimes you just have to think outside the box, for easy ways to decorate, get crafty and have a partay!

The tableware was perfect, the party pack I bought came with a bunch of things, balloons, streamers, string, plates, napkins, forks, spoons, tablecloth. It was the perfect colors too, the simple red and Bermuda blue. My husband argued with me that it could be any blue and red and I had to correct him and tell him, no it has to be Bermuda Blue. I was right! I just loved the way the tables turned out.

I also ordered this gorgeous blue velour Cat in the Hat chair and stool. Omg, I just love this chair, it’s absolutely adorable! My little “Sally” sat in this chair to open her presents, and of course to get her picture taken, but now she just sits in this chair when she’s reading or simply relaxing. This chair was awesome because it doubled as a whimsical decoration as well as a gift for the birthday girl or for read across America week this chair could stand for the person who is reading to the others!

One of my all time favorite Christmas movies (close in the running with “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas” and “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”)  is “A Christmas Story.”  I grew up on this movie, a total classic!  So when you are sitting down this holiday season watching “A Christmas Story,” it would be fun to also dress the part! 

“He looks like a pink nightmare!”  (Ralphie in the bunny suit)  Wouldn’t your Christmas cards look great in this suit!

This A Christmas Story Bunny Suit is available in Child and Adult sizes!

F-R-A-G-I-L-E   …Well what on earth could be inside this?  A Christmas Story Fragile Crate Costume

“IT’S A MAJOR AWARD!”  haha this is one of the funniest parts of the movie, and then when she purposely breaks the lamp and he says, “You used up all the glue on purpose!”  Hilarious!  Perhaps ladies you want to remind you’re husband that he doesn’t need a lap to look at sexy legs because he’s got you!  Leg Lamp Costume

1.  No Mess Caramel Apples:  Caramel apples are always a big favorite at Halloween and seasonal parties, but what about the mess they cause.  You know, you’re all dressed up and those apples are just staring at you saying, “eat me, I’m delicious!”  And yes, they’re delicious but you don’t want to smear your make-up, drip on your costume, or look like a pig devouring a big ‘ol apple covered in caramel.  Plus, most times the apples are just too big, who wants to eat an entire apple in the middle of a party?  That’s exactly why we’ve tried a new caramel apple! 

-Slice the apples

-Stick a toothpick in them

-Dip in caramel

-Lay them out on a platter

-Cover in theme colored sprinkles (use orange, black, blues, and purples for Halloween)

-Add a few strawberries for prettiness!

That’s it!  Now you’ve made a simple and delightful snack!  No one has to look goofy chewing on a huge apple on a stick, those “dieters” won’t feel bad about these, and it looks gorgeous!

2.  Bloody Zombie Eye Deviled Eggs:  Come on who doesn’t love deviled eggs!?  That’s why they are a must for your Halloween party, but let’s add a twist to these scrumptious snacks! 

-Make deviled eggs as you normally would

-Add red (or green) food dye to the yolk mix, if you’re using red, use a lot so they don’t come out pink.  You’ll also need a full bottle to make them green!

-Fill your eggs with the colored mix

-Add the pupil, the center of the eye, this can easily be a sliced olive.  The olives taste great with deviled eggs, so you’ll just have to decide if you want to use a black or green olive.

-Gently squirt some food dye for the blood splashed look!

That’s it!  Yes, you’ll be hesitant to eat them….at first, but once you get past that you realize they taste awesome and double as creepy decor!  Yum!
