| 1232 | Article | pikachulover | I didn't really care about Hanson. A bunch of the girls in my 8th grade class went crazy for them and wrote "Hanson" on their backpacks in whiteout. If you are interested you should find the Madtv Hanson parody skit. They have a song called "Ling Ling" in the skit. | Sep 10, 2014 |  | |
| 1219 | Article | Vaporman87 | I was always disappointed by the fact that I could never recreate the image on the front of Halloween Makeup/Costume packaging. You would think by a certain age, you would come to the realization that no product is EVER faithfully recreated from the packaging or promotional image (fast food... I'm looking at you). But no. We keep believing, and failing. LOL This year, with my family going as Scooby-Doo and the gang, I've found that I don't WANT to recreate the all-in-one promo/package look. They're dreadful and cheap looking. My wife is gathering our costumes one piece at a time through various outlets (with the exception of Scooby). | Saloon Girl | Sep 10, 2014 | |
| 1222 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I had the same make-up application dilemma when I went as Gene Simmons from KISS to a Halloween party in high school. Keeping the black and white face paint separate was a real chore. That's awesome that you got so much use out of your Saloon Girl costume. Zombie Saloon Girl would make a good companion to an undead steampunk adventurer. | Saloon Girl | Sep 10, 2014 | |
| 1231 | Article | pikachulover | Sadly the costume doesn't fit anymore. I still have it, but I grew a little too sideways. I think that was the last Halloween I wore face paint. I do not know how to apply even regular cosmetics well except for nail polish. I'm a pro at that. About having to copy the costume thing I don't why that idea stuck at my schools for so long. I mean I can go into any store that sells costumes, and I can hear tweens and older teens saying about how it has to look like it does on the package. Plus women's costumes are usually a rip off anyway. | Saloon Girl | Sep 10, 2014 | |
| 1227 | Article | Vaporman87 | Okay, for starters... I find it awesome that the Yoda costume you are wearing in the article is almost the same as the vintage Yoda costume given away as part of last year's Halloween Article Contest. Ask Ben (Benjanime) to send you a photo of it. LOL There's is no doubt about the sheer joy you're experiencing in these photos. You were a die-hard trick-or-treating fanatic through and through. My personal costume choices were similarly varied. Sometimes I was out as one of the usual boxed, mask and vinyl bodysuit characters, but other times I would just buy a really creepy, decked out mask and couple that with some backwoods garb, like a puffy flannel jacket, ripped jeans, and boots. You just never knew what my choice would be that year. My final trick-or-treat outing was not even in my own neighborhood, but that of my friend, who was taking his little brother trick-or-treating. It felt bittersweet, but appropriate then. Now, it's just bittersweet. Then you have kids... and nobody cares that you are dressing up WITH them and eating THEIR candy. Because... you're the parent. Yeah. Actually, that night, you're a kid in a parent's body. Plain and simple. :) | Halloween Hallelujah! | Sep 10, 2014 | |
| 1230 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Guess I should have gotten on board sooner and maybe I could have earned back a bit of my childhood by writing about it. Ah well, I probably couldn't get my son to keep that mask on his face anyway. | Halloween Hallelujah! | Sep 10, 2014 | |
| 1233 | Article | Vaporman87 | The thing about those old masks was that they were sooo uncomfortable, and you were dripping sweat inside them. It was like a sauna for your face shaped like Yoda. | Halloween Hallelujah! | Sep 11, 2014 | |
| 1235 | Article | Fulton4V | I had many of the old Ben Cooper costumes growing up and remember most the Hulk and Scooby doo ones I had. They were all just random pictures of the characters on the vinyl suit and then a mask with the face of the character but they were really cool to me. I liked those old costumes. | Halloween Hallelujah! | Sep 11, 2014 | |
| 1236 | Article | Vaporman87 | The story of the Ben Cooper company is an interesting one: http://www.slate.com/articles/life/culturebox/2013/10/ben_cooper_costumes_how_the_popular_plastic_outfits_reinvented_halloween.html | Halloween Hallelujah! | Sep 11, 2014 | |
| 1247 | Article | NLogan | Hoju Koolander I love the personal pictures. To me that is what Halloween is all about. Can't beat the nostalgia level of some of those old Ben Cooper and Collegeville costumes. As you know my brother was also Yoda back in the day. Long live cellophane windowed boxes, rubber bands that broke on your sweaty face mask, and vinyl smocks... well the memories of them anyways. | Halloween Hallelujah! | Sep 16, 2014 | |
