The Twilight book series and of course the movies were more than hot last year and this year. They were scorching in fact. Of course you could dress up as one of the characters but even bigger than the characters are the groupies (yes, I can admit I’m one).
Dress up for Halloween this season as a Twilight groupie using Torrid’s and/or Hottopic’s
exclusive Twilight Saga plus size clothing and other paraphernalia.
It’s an inexpensive costume and you can wear it to the latest movie afterward:
This has to be my all time favorite costume. Costume Craze is already sold out of the 3x (they’ll probably get more) but they still have 2x and of course smaller sizes elsewhere on the site!
The Plus Size Super Deluxe Viking Princess Costume (at right) comes with the metallic screen print gown, headpiece, necklace, cape and fingerless gloves. All she needs is a viking sword. What sells me on this costumes is the lovely bodice and extra material down the side. This viking princess costume is elite priced at $158.95.
If you need something more economical then there is the Plus Size Vahalla Vixen Costume (at left) which comes with the corset dress and headpiece. I like the pseudo corset look with the bat wing sleeves. Costume Crave has the vahalla vixen costumes in sizes 18 to 24. And it is only $54.95.
For a great viking movie (light on the women, heavy on the men and sword play) check out The 13th Warrior.
Get three other friends together and have a KISS make up party. You can draw straws to see who gets which face and then help one another paint it up. When you are all ready hit the Halloween party lines!
Sure the guys wore/wear costumes but really other than keeping it black and wearing heals all you really need is the makeup. Here are the four traditional make up templates for KISS face make up.
You can get quality theater make up ahead of time from StageandTheaterMakeup.com: Hypo-allergenic makeup for stage, Halloween or everyday wear.. You’ll need lots of white base but smaller amounts of the other colors for the detailing. Don’t forget the powder to set it and utensils like sponges and brushes for applying.

I knew Michael Jackson was going to be an even more popular costume this year but I never would have guessed it would have been feminized and plus sized but it has. If you have the personality to pull it off then I say go for it. Where do you get one?
Big Gals Lingerie obviously offers lingerie but they also carry costumes; specifically these premium costumes just in time for Halloween. The Queen of Pop versionis available in sizes 1x to 12x, yes I said 12x– one of the best size ranges around. From sizes 5x on up there is an additional $5 to $10 charge.
They have four different designs to choose from. The traditional Queen of Pop, Dirty Diana, Thriller, and the Military version. Personally I like the traditional Queen of Pop and the Military versions the best. These are high quality costumes so don’t be shocked by the prices ranging from $136 to $175 depending on style. The free shipping should make you feel better though!
