SQUAWK! Angry Birds has blown up in the last 2 years since it’s creation in to giant popularity. For those of you unfamiliar with this pop culture phenomenon here’s a breakdown quoted fromwikipedia: “Angry Birds is a puzzle video game developed by Rovio Mobile. Inspired primarily by a sketch of stylized wingless birds, the game was first released for Apple’s iOS in December 2009.[2] Since that time, over 12 million copies of the game have been purchased from Apple’s App Store,[3] which has prompted the company to design versions for other touchscreen-based smartphones, such as those using the Android operating system, among others.

In the game, players use a slingshot to launch birds at pigs stationed on or within various structures, with the intent of destroying all the pigs on the playfield. As players advance through the game, new birds appear, some with special abilities that can be activated by the player. Rovio Mobile has supported Angry Birds with numerous free updates that add additional game content, and the company has even released stand-alone holiday and promotional versions of the game.

Angry Birds has been praised for its successful combination of addictive gameplay, comical style, and low price. Its popularity led to versions of Angry Birds being created for personal computers and gaming consoles, a market for merchandise featuring its characters and even long-term plans for a feature film or television series. With a combined 300 million downloads across all platforms and including both regular and special editions,[4] the game has been called “one of the most mainstream games out right now”,[5] “one of the great runaway hits of 2010″,[6] and “the largest mobile app success the world has seen so far”.[7]”

So finally someone was clever enough to createAngry Birds Costumes. I think theseHalloween costumesare a great idea for someone who doesn’t want to put too much effort in but wants to participate in the festivities.

There is something so alluring about witchcraft. Whether you’re interested in dark or light magic, there are plenty of discoveries to be had. I remember being a young girl; long before Sabrina the Teenaged Witch was around, and longing for supernatural powers. The ability to fly, to make potions that could cure, to be recognized and revered. I once dreamt at an early age that I was adopted and was actually born to a family of witches and warlocks. All I had to do to fly was click my knees together and jump. Surprisingly, despite my great interest in witches as a child, I never dressed in akids witch costume. Even today I have yet to adorn awitch costume. Perhaps I will dedicate this years costume to the iconic, never over done, supernatural woman.

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.
