It’s 3D all the way for Escapade fancy dress: the retailer launches new costumes to celebrate the release of Star Wars Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace











Escapade’s Darth Vader Supreme Edition Costume


Brighton, UK (PRWEB UK) 27 January 2012

Around the world, Star Wars fans are eagerly anticipating the staged release of the phenomenally successful space series in 3D. The first film to receive the 3D treatment, Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace, is due out in February and, as international trailers are posted on fan sites, online forums and message boards are buzzing with excitement.

Supporting industries are also optimistic about the launch, with new action figures, costumes, games and posters being snapped up by fans. London-based Escapade, who stock collectors’ costumes, deluxe costumes and accessories in their range of Star Wars fancy dress, are seeing an upturn in sales for their children’s costumes. Director Bhupendra Maisuria believes this is because the release of the films in 3D – some 35 years after the original Star Wars Episode IV – A New Hope hit cinema screens in 1977 – will bring the epic adventures of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and their battles with the dark side of the Force to a whole new generation.

With George Lucas reportedly waiting until ‘enough’ cinemas could support 3D, new, younger fans will be able to watch the saga unfold over the next five years.

“At Escapade we are huge fans of the Star Wars saga, from the classic old films to the exciting brand new releases and to prove it we are proud to boast the UK’s biggest collection of Star Wars fancy dress,” said Bhupendra. “Our Star Wars range also features costumes – for adults and children – that can’t be found anywhere else in the UK.”

Among the new-for-2012 Star Wars themed children’s fancy dress outfits are the Savage Opress costume, the deluxe Chewbacca costume, the Jawa costume and, or course, the Stormtrooper costume. And grown-up fans might fancy donning one of the new Emperor’s Royal Guard, Darth Maul or Shadow Trooper costumes.

As well as stocking up on new costumes, Escapade are celebrating the upcoming film release with a competition to win two rather covetable prizes. Hosted by UK film release and gaming site heyuguys.co.uk, the competition features a deluxe Darth Vader costume (complete with full head helmet and light saber) and a collectors’ edition Stormtrooper helmet. It will run until 30 January, so there are still a few days to enter! Go to http://www.heyuguys.co.uk/category/competitions for more information.

Most Controversial Costumes for 2011 – List Released by HalloweenCostumes.com

November 52011

Most Controversial Costumes for 2011 – List Released by HalloweenCostumes.com










Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) October 19, 2011

HalloweenCostumes.com today released a list of 2011’s most controversial Halloween costumes. These are costumes that some find funny and topical, but others find offensive choices to wear to work or school. The list includes Charlie Sheen, political costumes, zombie Osama bin Laden, sexy adult costumes based on childhood characters, and dead celebrity costumes.

Zombie Osama bin Laden

Dead celebrities

Charlie Sheen

Anna Rexia

Sexy adult costumes based on childhood characters

Politicians

Zombie Osama bin Laden and Dead Celebrities

The zombie Osama bin Laden Halloween costume stirs many emotionally-charged debates regarding patriotism, pride, mockery, and respect. On a smaller scale, even reanimated Amy Winehouses and undead Ryan Dunns stir questions of “too soon?” For many, that’s the point. A satirically worn Halloween costume can provide a new perspective on the definition of politically correct.

Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen has renounced his “tiger blood” ways, but crowds are still clamoring for Sheen’s “Two and a Half Men” look anyway. They want to become, just for a night, the unstoppable, hashtag-inventing #bi-winning persona that took Twitter and America by storm. The Charlie Sheen costume itself – only a mask, bowling shirt, and wig – does not cause problems, but Sheen’s reported drug use and womanizing ways have many arguing the costume is less than a winning choice.

Anna Rexia and Sexy Costumes

The shock and subsequent news headlines regarding a sexy “Anna Rexia” skeleton costume, long discontinued by its manufacturer, have almost reached the level of Halloween tradition. Every year, the costume raises concerns over the glamorization of eating disorders and ignites further discussion on sexy Halloween costumes. Critics frequently turn to Naughty Nemo as an example of the sexification of everything – in this case, a charming fish character.

Sexification is a hot topic, but many women fight the “shaming of sexy.” They argue that feeling sexy should be embraced if so desired, and, therefore, the freedom to choose a sexy costume should not be denied. Industry executives add that because so many costumes are labeled sexy, and because they come in various styles, shapes, and in standard and plus sizes, there is no singular body type, look, or theme being pushed upon women. Sexy costumes have been among the best-selling items and the most searched for costumes for many years. All sides agree, though, that revealing costumes should be worn only to appropriate occasions and only by adults.

Politician Costumes

Even basing a Halloween costume on an upstanding citizen, a person one finds inspiring and morally sound can be an inappropriate Halloween costume in many settings. Going as a favorite president, senator, or presidential candidate is almost guaranteed to make waves. Political costumes worn seriously or as parodies can offend those with opposing political beliefs. Many see this as an opportunity for debate, but wearing a political costume can escalate into an issue for HR. Some schools explicitly ban political costumes and masks.

Summary

The most controversial costumes for 2011 for adults include zombie Osama bin Laden and other deceased pop culture icons, Charlie Sheen, politicians, and sexy adult costumes based on classic kids characters. These costumes, though considered funny Halloween costumes by many, raise questions of political correctness and overall sensitivity, especially when worn to the office or in the classroom. Despite this, some adults actually embrace the debates, criticism, and discussion that their Halloween costumes arouse. To them, a controversial Halloween costume is a platform to make a point.

Fairy Costumes For Kids

January 302011

http://www.kidsfairycostumes.net. Fairy Costumes for kids are perfect for any party or Halloween occasion. Find inexpensive fairy costumes for your daughter, toddler or infant today!

Children’s fairy costumes have a few unique characteristics to them. They are one of a few costumes that can be used for more than one occasion. Costumes are a year-around business. They are used for shows, presentation, recitals and more. Buying the right costume can save the parent a lot of money in the long run. Below are a few examples of how you turn a Halloween costume into an investment.

1. Year-around Costume Fun

Fairy costumes can be used for more than just Halloween. There are events and other holidays where a Fairy costume will fit right in. If you are a parent considering whether to spend the money on a nice Halloween fairy costume, then you want to consider the amount of use. Ask the question, “How much use can you get out of a costume”? Most children will only wear a costume one time and that is mainly for Halloween. As you read, you will understand how a fairy costume can give more value than just an ordinary outfit for Halloween.

2. Ballet

If your child is in ballet, the costume can be used for recitals, presentations or for regular studio training. The wings can be removed from the costume making a nice little outfit for ballet. If you ever seen a ballet presentation you, can kind of visualize the similarities between the ballet costume and fairy costume.

3. Halloween

Of course there is the holiday of Halloween. This is probably the main reason you decided to make the purchase. Again you can use the costume more than once. If your child has a Halloween party at school, they can wear it to school and also for any other Halloween gathering. There are a lot of events that happen the week of Halloween. This costume can be used for all the fun.

4. Christmas

Christmas is an interesting holiday. It has a little of everything in it. A fairy costume can easily be converted into a beautiful “snow fairy costume” for Christmas. Converting the costume is easy if you purchased the costume in the color of white. Other colors are OK, but white makes the costume look more like Christmas.

Once Halloween is over, it is time to make a few alterations. Add a little more fluff to the costume. This is done by adding white ruffles around the arms, waist and collar. Decorate the wings with lots of white lace and fluffy stuffing material to give a snowy, wintery look to them. The stuffing material is the same used to stuff teddy bears. It looks a lot like snow. Be careful not to overdo it with the stuffing or the wings will look clumpy instead of wintery.

With these simple tips you can make full use of your Halloween investment. Once your child grows out of the costume, it will make for a very nice “hand me down” or donation to a child’s organization.
