Hoop Pirate

This was one of my few store bought costumes which was perfect for the Tour de Fat festival of 2012.  I did  however make the pirate hoop.

For you dance hoopers out there, just wrap some white electrical tape around a black PVC piping hoop.  

For those who are not familiar with making your own hoops and just want a cool pirate hoop, just buy black and white electrical tape and wrap it around a store-bought hoop.  Black and red would work, too.

Me, Back in the Day as a "Material Girl"

Now that the Halloween season is around the corner, I'm brainstorming on what to be this year.  If you are checking out to this blog, I imagine you probably are, too.  I figured I should share some of my costume ideas from the past if it might help someone out.  I am always looking on the internet for ideas by other people so that I can create my own costumes, so maybe I can inspire someone this year.

DIY: Take Mardi Gras necklaces in pearl color (like Mardi Gras necklaces), cut them up at different lengths and twist them back together as bracelets and necklaces of different lengths.  I cut the neck off of that pink shirt to get it off of my shoulders, and I tied mesh ribbon onto a headband for my hairpiece.  I went out and bought a hair crimper for the occasion, too!  The gloves simply came from a Halloween costume store.
