After listening to The Bangles 1986 #1 chart topper “Walk Like An Egyptian”, it got me thinking thatEgyptian Costumesare definitely an all time classic costume. I mean the Egyptians lived thousands of years before us. Plenty of time to inspire costumes. Beautiful head pieces and dramatic makeup, the Egyptians clearly had an eye for fashion. Much like their historic inspiration The Bangles also had a flare for dramatic fashion. They were popular in what will be one of the most memorable decades of music and fashion.80’s costumeshave already been mimicked for 10 years and will continue for thousands just like the Egyptians.

Captain America, I suspect, is going to be a very popular costume this Halloween. Expect to seeCaptain America Costumeson the young and old, men and women! In the 2011 hit, the little guy Steve Rogers, becomes the subject of a scientific military experiment to make a small man with a good soul, become big in body and even bigger in heart. Captain America protects the world from the nazi HYDRA leader Red Skull. I don’t want to ruin the plot for those who haven’t seen it, but Steve Rogers and his trustyCaptain America Shieldkick nazi ass.

2011 has been an amazing year of movies, and when this happens Halloween becomes all that much more creative and lively. First on my list ofHalloween Costumeinspiring movies is Black Swan. This costume would be so easy to make with a black body suit,black tutu, and some dramatic makeup. Black Swan is a movie about the dark side of such a beautiful art. The main character Nina Sayers, played by Natalie Portman does an amazing job showing the physical struggle and eventual mental breakdown under the pressure of trying to succeed in the world of professional dance. This movie has everything a Halloween theme could want; its sexy, deceitful, dark, and psychologically thrilling. This Halloween I have no doubt we will see some tortured ballerinas inspired by this amazing film.
