Willy Wonka Costume: Johnny Depp or Gene Wilder?

Sean — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 19:29:55 +0000

Willy Wonka is the legendary candy man who in 2005 made a comeback to take a new twist on the mysterious chocolate factory. Johnny Depp starred as Wonka in the 2005 remake, but the new look didn’t seem to sit well with everyone who watched it. Although there are many big fans of the remake out there who enjoy dressing as the new Willy Wonka.

For the old school fans out there be sure to check out Mable’s Willy Wonka Costume page to find the more colorful Gene Wilder / 1971 rendition of Willy Wonka. You could even call it the original Willy Wonka costume, but stores call it the Candy Man costume.

More options and even high-end hand made costumes can be found on eBay.

Wonder Woman Halloween Costume

Sean — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 11:00:57 +0000

It’s all about the little things that really make a Halloween costume “the best costume ever.” Case in point; our post about Wonder Woman Underoos and the new for 2009 Wonder Woman Wig .

Both are the perfect accessory to your Wonder Woman Costume for Halloween and any other day of the year.

Sexy tip: Wear your Wonder Woman underoos underneath your costume and when the night is over some lucky Halloween goer gets to see the sexy side of the Amazon Princess Diana of Themyscira.

Fair Trade Halloween

Lauren — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 04:02:51 +0000

As consumers, we have a lot to consider before making purchases; value, durability, style, environmental responsibility, and even the conditions under which the product was made. Some items are notorious for being manufactured using unfair labor practices, and unfortunately cocoa (the key ingredient in chocolate) is one of them. With Halloween fast approaching and mounds of chocolate being purchased to give out to trick-or-treaters, please be sure to consider the source of the chocolate you buy. 43% of the world’s cocoa comes from the Ivory Coast, where child slave labor is used. Consider purchasing Fair Trade chocolates or non-chocolate goodies to hand out. For an easy and delicious way to promote Fair Trade products, check out the Fair Trade Halloween Kit, which includes F.T. chocolates and attractive informational postcards which help spread the word… more
