Too Early For Halloween

it is only june and yet my kids are already thinking of halloween costumes! yikes! not that i have anything against halloween. but isn't it way too early?

when my kids were much younger and we were still in the philippines, finding a good halloween costume was definitely an effort. at that time, there were very few options and only selected stores sell them.

in canada, however, it is a different matter. costumes are abundant both offline and online. the difficulty is not in finding a costume but in finding 'the' costume.

the fun part for me is checking out the costumes. i normally search the web to check out my options. i go through several websites. some funny. some cute. some scary. some very common.

of all the websites i have visited to date, it was costume cauldron that caught my attention.

and it isn't because they have hot, sexy costumes. haha!

it caught my attention because they have the most absurd costumes. seriously! they have costumes that i cannot imagine anyone would actually want to wear. let alone buy. check out baby doll betty to see what i mean.

that is something i will never choose to wear. at all. for a couple of reasons. i can't even bring myself to post the picture here! i wonder if they get to sell that costume at all. would people actually enter their website looking for the baby doll betty costume? haha!

since i can't bring myself to post a picture of baby doll betty here, i will just show you two photos which i believe are a tamer and funnier version -




but aside from a couple of really ridiculous costumes, they do have quite a nice and varied selection of costumes. among my favorites are -




it's pretty cool how they created the illusion of a gorilla carrying the man in the cage. or of the clown appearing to walk on his hand. if you crave attention this halloween, these are the costumes that would definitely do it for you.

as for me, i have chosen the costume i want. and i am buying it from them. but i am not telling you which one it is. :D
