Funny Halloween Costumes for Female Groups

Female Halloween Costume Ideas

I had a few Barbie’s that I played with as a child, but I was never really that into her and her friends. They were fun on occasion, but I didn’t get into them like some of my other friends. This was probably because I was a tomboy, and was more interested in playing outside, building forts, and riding my bike. I was really surprised that my daughter, who shows many of the same interests that I had when I was young, asked me if she could get a Barbie costume.

For some, the original Batman series is unparalleled for its colorful and clever and cutting-edge elements, its first-time ever used comic book “sounds” (Bam! Zonk! Kapow!), its serialized nature (playing on the old radio shows, etc.), its stellar star lineup. My brother was riveted to the TV in those first years, watching The great Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt as Catwomen, Egghead, Mr. Freeze, and the Penguin try to out-wit the witty, out-do the duo. I watched less faithfully, but always, always stayed in the room for the bookworm and the Riddler, my absolute favorites. (I was intrigued by the contraptions the Bookworm, Roddy McDowall, had for reading—despite how he also made time for crime; I was fascinated by Frank Gorshin’s hideous hyena giggling, his derisive and mocking laughter, his adept activities, his green bodysuit with the question marks, and, of course, his clever yet felonious riddles.)
About two years back, I was shopping in the local mall with my daughter. We were in dire search of a great costume for Halloween. As we entered the Disney Store, she spotted a Beauty and the Beast costume. This was it. I’m talking golden moment here. She loved the character of Belle. I can’t remember how many times she had viewed this film, but it was probably a few more than I can count. In short, she wanted that Beauty and the Beast costume so she too could be Belle for a night. I was all over the idea.

What father doesn’t want to see their daughter become a princess? Once we arrived home with the sparkly attire, my little girl couldn’t wait to put it on. Little did I know, this Beauty and the Beast costume would be worn and tested many times before Halloween ever even arrived. For all you new parents out there, this basically goes with the territory. Kids love their costumes and they wear them as often as possible, before and even after Halloween night has past.

Barbie is a busy lady with careers, hobbies and a hectic social life. Her wardrobe is extensive, as shown in the Barbie Dress Up games. There are formal outfits, such as a purple satin gown and a faux fur trimmed cape. There are specialist costumes like the Barbie cheerleading outfit. Barbie still likes to look good when she is casually dressed, in jeans or shorts. She also looks great in sportswear and there is an extensive line of pajamas and nightgowns.

What ever happened to Anna Nicole Smith?

Controversy was never far away in the life of the star Anna Nicole Smith.

Music video directors picked Anna Nicole Smith to appear in promotions for Kanye West, Bryan Ferry and Supertramp.

Hollywood is remembering Anna Nicole Smith with a biography movie of her that is being currently being filmed. Top television shows of the day also showcase her even still after her death is a memory. (read more…)

Anna Nicole Would Have Needed to Be High

Crass? Just wait till you hear what I say before JUDGING ME! I don’t want to live by YOUR RULES MAN!

You know, I would have most likely avoided seeing any of the Anna Nicole Smith burial trials on tv had it not been for MSNBC and Tivo seeing to it that I’d be exposed unintentionally.

Last week, I think it was late Thusrday night when I intended to watch Hardball with Chris Matthews, I was instead presented with the TV coverage of the Anna Nicole Smith trial. It appeared to be live and I guess they preempted Hardball.

I kept watching as I thought for sure they’d return to the program but it kept on going.

There was Howard K Stern on a shaky camera while questions were thrown at him and some advice and odd comments flew through the air. Apparently that was the judge talking like he had shit in his mouth.

Shot for brains too, as the discussions and interrogations on Mr. Stern were as disorganized as I could ever imagine.

Various numbnuts lawyers got up and tried to entrap him on all manner of topics and I must say I was enthralled for about 20 minutes.

But it saddened me to think our court systems were actually like this. That judges such as the meally mouthed chicken legged critter up there telling his home spun logical meanderings had a position of authority. And that the lawyers who were so ill prepared jumpbled and fumbled their words to get in questions that did not even belong in a hearing about where Anna Nicole Smith would be buried. (read more…)

Anna Nicole Smith’s Death? Trim Spa Baby

Anna Nicole Smith’s Death? Trim Spa Baby by Roxanne McDonald

Now before you get all excited about slander and lawsuits and whatnot, know that I am only speculating and therefore am exercising that which we still consider free speech rights.

But, man, here was this gorgeous woman (well, gorgeous when she was made up), the decade’s Marilyn Monroe (whom Nicole always idolized), who gained weight (over personal traumas and such). Then, seemingly all of a sudden, this buxom and voluptuous babe is a bone with boobs. So what, right? Lot’s of stars are that thin. However…

From the very first appearances (on talk shows, in the TS commercials, on MTV Awards nights), she was showing some speedy behavior: bruxism (teeth gnashing) and tardive dyskinesia (jawing, looking like she was chewing but wasn’t, odd eye movements, tongue out of control). Her eyes were without focus, and her bodily movements and facial gestures were heavily affected (on top of how she did those grand poses, that is).

I considered the dangers of a rapid weight loss pill to be the primary causes. Of course, from what has been reported, Anna Nicole also drank heavily and in binge style, and did other recreational drugs—so the contraindications may have been the thing that caused her death. Maybe a heart attack, from the combined stress and strain of losing her son within days of his returning to her side (for her new baby’s birth) and the legal dealings (over first hubby’s money) did it.

Or maybe, as is the latest rumor—again, all, including the above, unsubstantiated—Howard K. Sterns helped along her demise.

Forensics will have to educate us, regardless of what we guess right now.

Say hello to Marilyn, Anna Nicole.
