Behrmark's 2012 Hallowe'en Costume Ideas

 Although Hallowe'en isn't until next Wednesday, many celebrants will be dressing up this weekend to attend parties, street fairs, and parades. If you're still undecided as to what costume to wear, here are some ideas - most are simple, some are a little more elaborate - but all guaranteed to get you noticed!

Drape a piece of cloth around your body to make a sexy toga. Finish the look with gold wrist cuffs.

Overalls always make a great, simple costume. Top it off with a hard hat and voila! You're a construction worker!

You may opt to leave the hard hat at home to free up your hands.

A red union suit always makes a sexy costume.

A bit more elaborate, the fireman daddy is sure to be a hit. Of course it helps if you already have all the gear to pull it off.

A simpler fireman look may be less expensive. (Hose not included.)

Since the economy has hit many of us hard, a simple festive option is to don an orange tie. Pair it with your favorite jockstrap, jeans, or slacks for a classier look.

Who can resist playing Santa?

Don a pair of green leather coveralls and BAM! Hammer time!

A leather mask from a Renaissance Faire adds the right hint of mystery. 

Remember Goldie Hawn in "Protocol?" Take that checkered napkin (or table cloth) and you have instant sheik!

Your fetish wear makes a swell costume, too!

Fabric is a terrific starting point; tie it around your face and let it flow behind you, and you have a mysterious caliph. (Silk works best for this look.)

Finally, a butcher's apron can be imagined into a costume too. Splatter fake blood over it and carry a cleaver. Or maybe just wear it alone as Jake Mitchell is.

So there you have it - Behrmark's 2012 Hallowe'en Costume suggestions. Happy haunting!

Last Minute Costume Ideas

Here are some last minute costume ideas:

First....real easy...just take some fabric and drape it around your naked body in a toga-like fashion.












This may take work but the result is fantastic. Just wrap leather or pleather or vinyl around your waist, secure it with a wide belt, grab that decorative sword and voila! Sexy gladiator!












An old shirt strategically ripped makes a great last minute costume.












Finally something to do with that old piece of burlap and rope lying around! Grab a stick and you're all set to woo the party with your daring and sexy costume.















BEHR HUGS!!

Costume Ideas 3

My final installment of costume ideas. These are all a little more elaborate and perhaps time-consuming - unless you've done this sort of thing before.

First up, the horse. Yeah I know leather is expensive but I can totally see someone walking down Santa Monica Boulevard wearing this. On second thought, I have seen someone wearing this on the street - and it wasn't Hallowe'en!












Man of the wood...it takes mostly makeup and leaves, straw, hemp rope and other natural elements. Probably good for a party because out in the darkness most people may think you're a zombie.











I love the work and detail in this satyr costume - from the horns to the furry breeches to leather harness to the furriness of this adorable cub. Definitely a contest winner.












Zombies are always good, especially since there's been a rise in zombie movies. You don't necessarily need the huge nail in your head but it is quite effective.












For the more politically-minded, you can paint yourself as the rainbow flag. Pride is always in style.













Finally, my personal favorite, the vampire. I admit that being a vampire for Hallowe'en was always one of my favorite costumes. And I love the eroticism of the tale. But recently it seems we've become over saturated with vampires (Twilight, Vampire Diaries, Club Blood) and the mystique is being dragged down to commonplace. So if you insist on becoming a vampire this year, shake it up and be a BLUE vampire!
















So there you have it - Behrmark's costume ideas. If you do dress up, send me a pic and I'll post it for others to see your creativity. Happy Haunting and BEHR HUGS!!

Costume Ideas 2

Here are more costume ideas geared toward the cost-conscious (or plain exhibitionists):

Throw on a pair of funny pants, a tie, and slap some cheap makeup on and go as a clown. (I had to crop out what this crazy clown is doing....use your imagination!)













Wear a pig mask and nothing else. Or go for the erotic ringmaster look by wearing a top hat. White gloves are optional.












How about the vogue model/Madonna backup singer?













I like this idea: Get some velvet or velveteen and wrap it around your waist, then shred the end of the material and drape it all over. When people as what you're supposed to be, say something silly. I call this one "Cupid."













If you've got a little money but not enough for a complete costume, there's always the Roman soldier. Here are a couple of examples.















I have a few more costume ideas that I will share later today. BEHR HUGS!!

Costume Ideas 1

Hallowe'en is a mere week away so I'm offering up ideas for those of you who haven't quite found the "perfect" costume.

Wear a gas mask. And nothing else.












Or go as a Diva (so many of you are already):












Or perhaps a fireman. (WOOF!)












Be creative and go as a Christmas tree by draping yourself in lights.












I also like the idea of a hazardous waste worker. The key is to not wear underwear or a shirt.














More costume ideas will be forthcoming. BEHR HUGS!!
