Princess Leia Organa

Appearances



Star Wars films



Early life



Baby Leia being put in the care of Bail Organa and his wife after the death of her mother, the fall of her father, and the separation between her and her brother.



By the fictional chronology, Leia first appears in Revenge of the Sith, when Padm gives birth to her and Luke at Polis Massa.



After Padm’s death, Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda decide that they must hide the Skywalker children from their father, former Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, who had recently turned to the dark side and became the Sith Lord Darth Vader. Leia is sent to Alderaan with the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO with her adoptive parents, Bail and Breha Organa, so she would not be found by the Empire.



According to the Expanded Universe, Leia is raised with Winter, who becomes her handmaiden later on in life, as well as her children’s nanny.



At the age of 16, Leia becomes the youngest member of the Imperial Senate and becomes good friends with Senator Pooja Naberrie of Naboo, her maternal cousin. She also becomes one of the driving forces behind the Rebel Alliance, the New Republic and even later, the Galactic Alliance. She serves the Senate until Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious dissolves it. Three years before Episode 4, she is taken as a hostage to Kashyyyk, to stop adoptive ther Bail Organa from speaking out against Darth Sidious. After being saved by the young Galen Marek, she is later present at the formation of the Rebel Alliance on Corellia, which is disturbed by Darth Vader, seeking Marek, his secret Apprentice. She is at the formation via transmission, and Vader never actually sees her when raiding the rebel Alliances’s formation headquarters. She later chooses the symbol of the Rebel Alliance as the Marek family crest.



A New Hope



Princess Leia aboard the Death Star with her, at the time, unknown twin brother Luke Skywalker, and future husband Han Solo.



In Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Darth Vader captures her onboard the ship Tantive IV, where she is acting as a spy for the Rebellion. He accuses her of being a traitor and demands to know the location of the secret technical plans of the Death Star, the Empire’s newest and most powerful weapon. Unknown to him, the young senator has hidden the plans inside an Astromech droid, R2-D2, and has sent it to find Obi-Wan Kenobi on the nearby planet of Tatooine. Later, Vader has her tortured, but she resists telling him anything. Still believing she could be useful, the Death Star’s commander, Grand Moff Tarkin, threatens to destroy Alderaan with the superweapon unless she reveals the location of the hidden Rebel base. She still does not give in and lies to them, as Tarkin orders Alderaan to be destroyed anyway. She is finally rescued by unlikely heroes: Luke Skywalker, an elderly Obi-Wan Kenobi, the cocky smuggler Han Solo, the Wookiee Chewbacca, and the two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO. When they finally escape, at the expense of Obi-Wan’s life (sacrificed in a duel with Vader), they take part in the Battle of Yavin. Luke, in his one-man X-wing fighter, destroys the Death Star. In the Massassi Temple at the hidden Rebel base on Yavin 4, the radiant Princess Leia Organa presents the Alderaanian Medal of Freedom to her rescuers and the heroes of the battle.



The Empire Strikes Back



Three years later, in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Leia is at the Rebel base on Hoth When Luke was rescued after being knocked unconscious in the snow storm, Leia began to worry for Luke. Later Han rescues Luke and back at the base, Leia tells Han that he probably doesn’t know everything about women and then kisses Luke. Leia later helps with the evacuation of Hoth. Despite the ongoing battle, she remains vigilant and issues commands from the crumbling base. She flees with C-3PO, Han, and Chewbacca on Han’s ship, the Millennium Falcon. Although they are pursued by Imperial TIE fighters, they dodge their fire by flying into an asteroid field when the Falcon’s hyperdrive breaks down. Despite Leia’s having kissed Luke earlier and being constantly at odds with Han, romance blossoms; while hiding in the stomach of a space slug, she finally shares a kiss with the scruffy-looking Corellian smuggler. Later, when they stop at Bespin for repairs, Han’s friend Lando Calrissian turns them over to Vader, who uses them as bait for Luke. Han is also used as a test subject for the carbon freezing chamber meant for Luke, and it is there that Leia finally confesses her love for Han. Vader then gives the frozen Han to bounty hunter Boba Fett to give to Jabba the Hutt, to whom Han owes a very large debt. Later, Lando helps Leia, Chewbacca, and the two droids escape. While escaping, she senses that Luke is in trouble and makes them go back for him. They save Luke, who is badly hurt after a near-fatal duel against Vader, who has revealed that he is Luke’s father.



Return of the Jedi



In Return of the Jedi, Leia, Chewbacca, Lando, Luke (now nearly a Jedi Knight), and the droids go to Tatooine to try to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt. Leia’s part of the plan consists of posing as the Ubese bounty hunter Boushh, who will turn Chewbacca over to Jabba. Her ruthless bargaining as Boushh, negotiating the price for Chewbacca at the end of a thermal detonator, impresses Jabba and Boba Fett enough to allow her quarters in the palace for the night. The Huttese gangster eventually discovers her real identity, captures her, makes her his new slave girl, and forces her to wear her now iconic metal bikini after she frees Han from the carbonite.



After Luke kills the Rancor, Jabba sentences Luke and Han to be fed to the Sarlacc. Just as all seems lost, Lando, disguised as a guard, helps Luke and Han overpower their captors. Leia seizes the moment to kill Jabba by strangling him with the very chain that bound her. R2-D2 cuts her loose, and after Luke boards the sailbarge, he rescues Leia. With Leia’s help, Luke uses a deck cannon to blow up his barge as they swing to safety.



While preparing for a last battle with the Empire on Endor, Luke reveals to a stunned Leia that she is, in fact, his twin sister, and that Vader is their father. Initially reluctant to believe him, Leia realizes that Luke speaks the truth and joins Han Solo in leading the Rebels in battle on Endor as the Rebel Fleet battle the second Death Star. Leia is injured in the battle, but the Rebels, allied with the Ewoks, are victorious over the Empire.



The Star Wars Holiday Special



Leia and C-3PO in The Star Wars Holiday Special



Leia briefly appears in the 1978 TV movie The Star Wars Holiday Special, where she is once again portrayed by Fisher. In the show, Leia is a leader and administrator of the new Rebel Alliance base. She is accompanied by C-3PO when contacting Chewbacca’s wife, Mallatobuck, for assistance in finding Chewbacca and Han. She also appears in the cartoon segment at a different Rebel Base, located in an asteroid field, and at the Life Day ceremony at the end of the film.



Leia also appeared in and hosted the November 18, 1978 episode of Saturday Night Live that aired one day after the holiday special. The Summer 1983 issue of Rolling Stone magazine poked fun at this appearance.



Star Wars literature

Alderaan



After the Rebellion’s victory on Endor, Leia establishes New Alderaan, a sanctuary for the destroyed planet’s surviving inhabitants. The Royal House of Alderaan, in the person of Leia Organa Solo and her children, continues to hold sovereignty over both New Alderaan and the old Alderaan system. Her title is largely ceremonial, however, as the government on New Alderaan actually administers the Alderaan system and New Alderaan in her name. Alderaan thus has been ruled under what seems to be a constitutional monarchy.



The New Republic



Princess Organa is a founding member of the New Republic. Although most of her life is devoted to such matters of state, she engages in limited study of the Jedi arts, with Luke as her teacher. Notably, she wields a blue lightsaber that she built herself.



In the book Queen of the Empire by Paul Davids and Hollace Davids, she gets kidnapped by the “Prophets of the Dark Side” to try to get brainwashed and become loyal to the Empire and to also marry Trioculus but this plan failed to which Trioculus got tricked with a Leia droid which also killed him; this disrupted a planned wedding to Han which was later done in The Courtship of Princess Leia.



In the book Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn, Luke builds her a green lightsaber which she uses to help free the Noghri from their perceived debt to the Empire. Luke then gives her a red one to complement the weapon she had constructed earlier.



After a near-disastrous courtship in which Prince Isolder vies for Leia’s affections, she marries Han. As described in The Courtship of Princess Leia, Han kidnaps Leia and takes her to a planet he had won in a game of sabacc named Dathomir. There they encounter the Nightsisters, whose attempt to escape eventually leads to the demise of the Warlord Zsinj and his empire, equal rival at this time to both the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic.



At first, Leia does not want to have children, fearing they would succumb to the Dark Side as her father had done. In the novel Tatooine Ghost, however, she begins to understand what happened to her father to bring him to the Dark Side. When she and Han go on a mission to Tatooine to retrieve the Alderaanian moss-painting Killik Twilight and the Rebel code hidden within it, Leia discovers her grandmother Shmi Skywalker’s diary and, with the help of her father’s childhood friends Kitster and Wald, discovers her father wasn’t the evil man she thought he was. By the end of the book, she learns to forgive him.



In the Thrawn trilogy, Grand Admiral Thrawn, who had formed an alliance with Joruus C’Baoth, orders Noghri commandos to kidnap Leia, who is pregnant. C’Baoth intends to warp Leia and Luke to the Dark Side, and plans to corrupt also the two unborn twins. To avoid capture, she hides on the planet Kashyyyk, but her would-be kidnappers track her down. She later learns that Vader once landed on the Noghri home planet Honoghr and tricked the Noghri into serving the Empire by promising to help their planet recover from the ecological disaster that it suffered during the Clone Wars. Because of this, they are fiercely loyal to Vader. Leia is able to leverage her biological relationship to Vader to persuade a Noghri assassin to travel with her to Honoghr and help convince the Noghri of the Empire’s deception. Leia shows an assembly of Noghri matriarchs that the droids which the Empire demanded are actively poisoning the land and slowing down the reconstruction. They leave the service of the Empire after one of their assassins (and Thrawn’s personal bodyguard), Rukh, kills Thrawn during the Battle of Bilbringi and becomes allies of the New Republic. For her efforts, Leia is known as “Lady Vader” among the Noghri, and she and her family become revered figures in their society.



In The Last Command, Leia gives birth to the twins Jaina and Jacen on Coruscant during Thrawn’s siege.



Dark Empire



During the events of Dark Empire, the New Republic suffers severe setbacks, losing most of its worlds, as well as Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side. After her brother’s capture on Coruscant, subsequent transport to Byss, and temptation by the cloned Emperor, a pregnant Leia along with her husband, Han Solo, reach the Emperor’s new stronghold of Byss where she confronts the reincarnated Palpatine. At first Leia is unsuccessful in turning Luke away from the Dark Side, but does manage to take a Jedi Holocron away from the Emperor’s chambers. Leia boards the Emperor’s Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer during its assault on the Pinnacle moon of Da Soocha. She appeals to the goodness inside Luke, redeeming him, and assaults Palpatine with the Light Side of the Force, cutting him off from the Dark Side and control of the titanic Force-storm he had exerted himself to the utmost to conjure, intending to obliterate the Rebel Alliance fleet. The Eclipse I and Palpatine are both destroyed.



In Empire’s End, Leia gives birth to a second son, whom she names Anakin in honor of her father’s redemption (See Solo family.) Along with a Jedi named Jen, she defeats Palpatine’s second-in-command, a Dark Jedi assassin. Palpatine is soon reborn in his last remaining clone body, which is quickly deteriorating, due to sabotage by Carnor Jax and one of the Emperor’s Hands. Leia is forced to flee to Onderon to hide Anakin from Palpatine, who intends to transfer his spirit into the young infant. The Emperor does eventually find her, but Han accidentally shoots him in the back just as he is about to possess the baby. A sacrifice by a dying Jedi named Empatojayos Brand saves them both from Palpatine’s wrath, and incapacitates Palpatine’s malignant spirit forever.



The Yuuzhan Vong War and beyond (25 ABY35 ABY)



After serving a second term, Leia resigns as Chief of State, and is replaced by Borsk Fey’lya. After the Yuuzhan Vong attack on Sernpidal, Leia goes before the Senate to bring attention to the threat posed by the approaching Yuuzhan Vong. Her pleas go unheeded, and the Vong legions swarm into the galaxy, destroying system after system and defeating the Jedi and the New Republic army in countless battles. Leia contributes to the war effort by joining SELCORE, a movement that aided refugees.



In Vector Prime, Chewbacca’s death sends Han into a deep depression, causing a large rift between him and Leia, culminating in his walking out of the marriage after an argument. They patch things up after Leia is gravely wounded by Tsavong Lah at the Battle of Duro. Their troubles are not yet over, however; when the Vong unleash the deadly voxyn, Leia is targeted by a Voxyn master slayer who had already killed many Jedi. With the help of her Noghri bodyguards, she eliminates the assassin with her lightsaber.



In Star By Star, Leia and Han lose their youngest son, Anakin, during the Myrkr mission and the fall of Coruscant.



After Coruscant’s fall, Han and Leia go to Hapes for Anakin’s funeral, then on several missions to restore HoloNet communications to the Unknown Regions, including foiling a second attempt of the Ssi-ruuk to invade Bakura in the process. Leia helps the Pwecks to rebel against their masters during her confrontation face to face with the Imperium; her stand allowing several traitors to ambush the Imperium.



Near the end of the Yuuzhan Vong war, she and Han rescue Thorsh, a prisoner from the internment camps of planet Selvaris. Later, they enter with Jedi Master Kyp Durron, a Bothan secret agent named Wraw, and a few more allies on the planet Callulla. They find that Alpha Red is released on this world. During the battle with the Yuuzhan Vong warriors, she destroys a few Slayers and a Commander before being captured. The commando is eventually rescued by Lando Calrissian, Talon Karrde and Tendra, Lando’s wife.



When Zonama Sekot makes its existence known near Coruscant in The Final Prophecy, Han and Leia travel there to be reunited with the rest of their family. While there, they meet Harrar, a Yuuzhan Vong priest. Leia, Han, and a few companions work with Harrar and a group of heretics to get inside the Well of the World Brain on Coruscant.



After the destruction of Shimrra and Supreme Overlord Onimi, Nom Anor travels with the Solo family across the labyrinth to escape the mighty war vessel of the Master Shaper. However, the executor turns on them and shoots his venom towards Han, but Jacen catches the poison, saving his father from certain death. Leia engages the Prefect before he can eliminate her husband and her elder son. She proves victorious and cuts off the rogue Nom Anor’s arm. The princess and the former smuggler allow the executor to die on the mighty war vessel but do not witness his certain death.



Leia then gives up politics and becomes Han’s copilot, a position she holds for the next five years.



The Dark Nest



In The Joiner King, Han and Leia follow various Jedi who had disappeared into the Unknown Regions, and discover Raynar Thul is alive and had been taken in by a nest of Killiks. To avoid a war with the Chiss, Leia suggests to “UnuThul” (as Raynar was now known) that the Killik nest be moved to a new planet, but makes him think it is his idea. At this time, Leia comes to terms with her heritage and asks Saba Sebatyne to train her as a Jedi Knight, as per a promise Luke had made to her during the Thrawn crisis.



In The Unseen Queen, R2-D2 suffers some severe malfunctions and shows Luke a holoclip of his father and a pregnant woman, whom Luke learns is his and Leia’s real mother. In the holoclips, Anakin and Padm are discussing a dream of Anakin’s in which Padm dies in childbirth. Before Luke can get more info out of R2, the droid has a meltdown, claiming he is protecting information. Frustrated, Luke contacts master slicer Ghent, who manages to recover one other holoclip from R2, this time featuring a scene in which Padm is talking to Obi-Wan Kenobi about Anakin, which is displayed to both Luke and Leia. In The Swarm War, Luke and Leia finally see their mother’s death. Also, Sebatyne tells Leia to construct a new lightsaber to show she is a true Jedi Knight.



Later on in the novel, she defeats the evil Joiner Alema Rar, a former Jedi Knight. She defeats her and assumes that she is dead, although Alema was in fact still alive, but severely injured.



Leia and Han unknowingly become grandparents to Allana, Jacen’s daughter, but they finally find out the truth as of Fury.



The Legacy Era or the Second Galactic Civil War



During the Legacy of the Force series, Leia supports Han Solo, her husband, who feels allegiance to Corellia, even though she remains a Jedi Knight in the Jedi Order. However, they soon break from Corellia following the Corellian plot to assassinate Queen Mother Tenel Ka. Her own son, Jacen Solo (aka Darth Caedus), gradually falls to the Dark Side, becoming the next of the new Dark Lords of the Sith under the tutelage of Lumiya.



Initial rough concept sketch of Princess Leia



Character development



In the rough draft of A New Hope, Leia was a 14-year-old princess (the same age as Queen Amidala in The Phantom Menace), the spoiled daughter of King Kayos and Queen Breha of Aquilae. In that draft, she had two brothers, Biggs and Windy, whose identities were substantially revised into their current form by the fourth draft (though they did not appear in intervening versions). The later story synopsis established her as Leia Antilles, the daughter of Bail Antilles from the peaceful world of Organa Major. In the fourth draft the names were turned around so that Leia Organa came instead from Alderaan.



Characteristics



In a memorable scene from The Empire Strikes Back, romance blossoms between Han Solo and Princess Leia once the two kiss.



Princess Leia Organa is a driven, dedicated individual with a forcefulf not sometimes abrasiveersonality. She is professional in all respects, but occasionally relaxes her guard to let her strong compassion and quirky sense of humor show. The “petite, fair-skinned human female” is known perhaps as the most beautiful and remembered woman in the Star Wars universe. Leia was loved by Luke Skywalker (before their sibling relationship was discovered), Han Solo, Prince Xizor, Prince Isolder (before he met Tenejiel Djo) and others. In the Shadows of the Empire novels, Leia was seduced by the Crime Lord Xizor. He had the chance to steal some kisses from the young princess: Having possessed her with pheromones, Xizor kissed her with passion-but Chewbacca managed to break the seduction, allowing Leia to defeat the Crime Lord. Fellow crime boss Jabba the Hutt also had a one-sided relationship with Leia, and made her his cruelly treated pleasure slave; Leia, in response, despised the Hutt and killed him in revenge.



Although she is depicted in the original Star Wars trilogy as having very little experience in the ways of the Force, Leia was actually very capable, both physically and spiritually, in her own right. A woman warrior, she frequently took part in combat operations. She was an excellent marksman, missing rarely, if ever, with a blaster. She killed, among other villainous characters, the infamous Jabba the Hutt, choking him with the very chain that bound her to him; Leia is also responsible for Grand Admiral Thrawn’s death, since she turned the Noghri against him. By redeeming her brother and disrupting the Dark Side of Palpatine, she also helped bring about the destruction of the Clone Emperor. She even killed a Dark Jedi named Kueller with a blaster rifle, right before he was about to deal a fatal blow to Luke.



Though initially hesitant about her Jedi training, Leia was later taught various Force techniques, and would become a very proficient Jedi Knight after finishing her training under Luke’s guidance in 36 ABY. She eventually became a full-fledged member of the New Jedi Order, developing her lightsaber skills to the point where she could deflect blaster bolts back at attackers. Being the daughter of Anakin Skywalker, Leia’s full Force potential could easily be the same as her brother Luke’s.



Princess Leia Organa in popular culture



The “Cinnamon Bun Hairstyle”



Princess Leia, sporting her trademark “cinnamon buns” hairstyle and sporting blaster.



Leia’s well-known hairdo in A New Hope has been affectionately dubbed the “doughnut hairstyle”, or “cinnamon buns”, by many science fiction fans. Carrie Fisher herself has now commented directly on her character’s hairstyle in the UK TV show Bring Back Star Wars where she said she hated it as she felt it made her face look more round, and it took 2 hours every day to style the hair. Miss Piggy of Jim Henson’s Muppet Babies copied the hairdo using doughnuts in a Star Wars-centric episode of the series. Also, in one scene from Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs, Princess Vespa also appears to have the hairstyle, but reveals that she is actually merely wearing a large pair of headphones. In addition, in the parody film Thumb Wars, the role of Leia was filled by a character named Princess Bunhead, who, as the name implies, had two cinnamon rolls for hair. Finally, preceding all the other parodies, the short film Hardware Wars shows Chewchilla, the Wookiee Monster actually eating one of Princess Ann-Droid’s cinnamon buns.



In reality, however, Leia’s hairdo may not be as unique as it first appears. Young marriageable Hopi Indian women wear a very elaborate “Squash Blossom” hairdo that superficially resembles Princess Leia’s. It takes a hairdresser nearly one hour to create. George Lucas has even admitted as such, saying: “In the 1977 film, I was working very hard to create something different that wasn’t fashion, so I went with a kind of Southwestern Pancho Villa woman revolutionary look, which is what that is. The buns are basically from turn-of-the-century Mexico.”.



In Europe, a similar hairstyle still persists in the Spanish region of Valencia, and can be seen during the Falles festival.



In an episode of Full House, to hide the fact she got her ears pierced without permission, Stephanie covers her ears with her hair. Her hair is in the same style as Leia.



In the Disney Channel Original Movie Under Wraps, Amy shows up at a Halloween party dressed as Leia, sporting Leia’s traditional hairstyle.



Leia’s signature hairdo also inspired a recurring freshman gag at the U.S. Naval Academy. Along with “wildmans” and “assassinations,” the “Princess Leia” is another popular method for freshmen (Plebes) to taunt their superiors. The freshman smears peanut butter on a pair of hamburger bun halves or English muffin halves, sneaks up behind an upperclassman in the dining hall, and sticks them on the upperclassman’s ears. These dining hall pranks, however, have been discouraged in recent years.



Padme Amidala (Leia’s mother) sports a similar hairstyle in her first appearance in Revenge of the Sith.



The “Metal Bikini”



Leia wearing her iconic golden “metal bikini” slave outfit at Jabba’s palace. Leia’s appearance has been voted one of the most memorable swimsuit moments of cinema history.



The term “Metal Bikini” refers to the iconic slave girl costume worn by Princess Leia when she was held captive in Jabba the Hutt’s palace, at the beginning of Return of the Jedi. The skimpy costume consisted of a brass brassiere fastened over the neck and behind the back with string, a brass thong g-string panty, a red silk loincloth, and leather high-heeled boots. There were other various adornments, including a hair fastener, a snake arm-wrap and two bracelets. Last, there was the chain and collar that bound her to Jabba which, ironically, she uses to strangle him in the film.



It was like steel, not steel, but hard plastic, and if you stood behind me you could see straight to Florida. You’ll have to ask Boba Fett about that.



arrie Fisher



After her appearance wearing the “golden metal bikini”, Carrie Fisher (and thus Leia herself) almost immediately became a cult sex symbol. Leia’s metallic bikini scenes were voted by Empire magazine as among the most memorable in movie history. This phenomenon is noted in an episode of the sitcom Friends (“The One with the Princess Leia Fantasy”) in which Ross tells Rachel about his interest in the “golden bikini”.



According to the Internet Movie Database, Fisher had said that her costumes in the previous two films had been so long that viewers could not tell “she was a woman”, resulting in the skimpy outfit for Return of the Jedi. Costume Designer Aggie Guerard Rodgers noted that the inspiration for Leia’s slave outfit came from the artwork of famed fantasy and science fiction illustrator Frank Frazetta. Rodgers had a “no lingerie in space” policy which prevented Fisher from wearing a brassiere; adhesive tape was used in its place.



As the metal framework of the top did not fit to Fisher’s skin especially well, before each take someone made sure the actress’ breasts were properly covered. Several scenes had to be re-shot when “wardrobe malfunctions” occurred. An alternate, rubber version of the costume was created and used for stunts.



Despite the immortal status it has given her, Fisher has admitted that she initially objected to the costume, believing it made her appear subordinate to the male characters: “When they took my clothes off, put me in a bikini and shut me up, I thought it was a strong indication of what the third film was.” One Wired magazine editor concurs, stating the only reason for the outfit’s fame is “no doubt that the sight of Carrie Fisher in the gold sci-fi swimsuit was burned into the sweaty subconscious of a generation of fanboys hitting puberty in the spring of 1983.”



The sexy Princess Leia Slave costume continues to be worn every year at Halloween. The iconic sex symbol associated with Princess Leia has continued through costume wear, with videos and pictures being posted across the Internet year after year.

Halloween costumes for babies?

So tomorrow is Halloween and i was wondering if you would dress up your 1 month old baby? i have like a little orange onesie that says happy halloween on it its long sleeve and has footies so she would feel comfortable and warm i am not gonna take her far but keep her in the stroller for a bit and then my mom is gonna watch her so i could take my oldest. but my neighbor said earlier that i should dress her in a real costume.i have seen them at party city and Halloween usa but i thought the onesie was good enought but i guess not? so my question is would you dress your one month old up, other then a onesie?



i wouldnt at one month. i cant imagine a baby being too comfortable in all that artificial fabric. Plus he’s probably still in eat/sleep/poop mode being so young. i would maybe make a green hat (sew 2 semi-circles together) or buy one; maybe paint a little triangle on his nose and call him a jack o’lantern.

halloween costumes atlanta stores

Halloween has suffered from more persecution than other public celebrations in the United States. Normally, the persecution comes from the religious communities in the different states. The focus is often the so-called ‘satanic’ overtones of the celebration.

Understanding the persecution

For those in the modern world, it would be very difficult to understand what these small churches mean by ‘satanic’. If one would briefly summarize western Christian thought, then it would appear that anything that did not look Christian was the devil.

Imagine looking at a vast horizon from within a small room. Because you don’t understand the outside world, the vast horizon is dangerous. The whole horizon is the devil. This may be confirmed by studying the evolution of the image of the devil through the centuries.

Complete removal?

The religious Right had wanted for a long time to completely remove the Halloween festivities from schools. The reason for this is the ‘pagan’ themes of Halloween celebrations. The ‘ugly’ beings like goblins and ghouls are considered evil and Satanic.

Logically, if you’re working with this theoretical framework, then children who wear masks and costumes are being subsumed by the forces of Evil. It’s absurd, but these religious communities have a sizeable following.

Reaction

However, not everyone is supportive of the conservative, extreme religious Right. According to the Atlanta Constitution, a newspaper:

“Halloween may have begun as a pagan festival, but in the United States it was now a festival of fun, feasts, fancy frocks, and frivolous fright. Ours is not just a Christian nation, but a nation born from the search of religious freedom. Let the kids have some fun.”

Because of such strong, critical views of Halloween, the celebration has been saved from unjust persecution and complete immolation.

Fighting back, more and more

Since all efforts have failed, the religious communities have taken other measures to make sure that they have their say as to how the Halloween festivities are to be carried out. These communities are purely reactionary, meaning; they don’t have a clear program.

They react based on the superficial circumstances and not to the deeper structures; and thus, they fail to address the problem. Anyway, these reactionary communities try to combat Halloween by doing the exact opposite of modern Halloween practices.

For example, the adults want their children to wear “happy” clothes instead of Halloween costumes. In addition to this, these religious adults alter the basic concept of a haunted house to integrate their own ideas.

For example, the Trinity Christian School in Texas has been known to organize a yearly Hell House. The Hell House antagonizes the frequent motifs and themes in popular culture such as the following:

o Drug-ridden raves

o Sex before marriage

o Homosexuality

o Family violence

o School shootings

The point of all this is to lead children and bewildered teenagers to so-called paths of righteousness. Are they effective? To a certain degree, they are. Because out of 75,000 individuals who have been recorded at one time, about 15,000 have become members of the community.

These are the most modern weapons of evangelism today; apart from the presence on the World Wide Web.

Adult Halloween Costumes

Tired of following the same routine everyday? Make Halloween the day to infuse an element of fun in your life. Earlier, Halloween was considered as an occasion when children dressed up in fancy costumes. However, this trend was slowly adopted by adults and now Halloween costumes are as much adult as can be.

The highlight of Halloween is the fact that one can dress up in the most fanciful fashion. Halloween is very similar to the Celtic festival of Samhain, which roughly translates to ‘summer’s end.’ Samhain was held to celebrate the closing stages of the ‘lighter half’ and the beginning of the darker half of the year. Ancient people believed that the seasonal change also weakened the demarcated boundaries between the creatures of this world and those who belonged to the other world. Traditional Halloween costumes would represent scary, larger-than-life beings such as ghosts, witches, skeletons and vampires. However, modern Halloween costumes also cater to those who wish to look sexy.

Ideas for Adult Halloween Costumes

Adult Halloween costumes give those who are normally restrained a chance to act out their fantasies and get wild, spooky or wicked. Pirates, angels, witches and princesses are evergreen character roles. You can add a touch of excitement into these popular costumes by trying out adult Halloween costumes. Here are some ideas for sexy adult Halloween costumes:

  • Goddess costumes: You can consider wearing a disco goddess costume for a daring and sizzling look. You can wear a Greek goddess costume if you are planning on driving someone totally crazy with your moves. Don’t forget the headband! High heels are sure to go perfectly with such costumes. You can consider other accessories such as a tiara, a neckpiece or an ethnic girdle to complete the look.

  • Cat costumes: The thought of a cat brings to mind a feline, graceful and sleek creature. You can choose a bad kitty costume or a naughty tigress costume. If you want to purr with pleasure, you can get into a playful pussycat costume. So, whether it’s a wildcat or a kitten costume, it is sure to look sexy.

  • Geisha girl costume: The idea of being a Geisha girl seems very exotic. However, on Halloween, when there is suspension of negative judgment, you can become a femme fatale, exquisite Geisha.

Halloween costume for a fat chick?

I need costume ideas!
First of all, I don’t want anything “sexy”. Those just invite jokes.
I don’t like the costumes that come in plus sizes because they usually fit weird or are a “sexy” costume in a bigger size.
I want something SCARY! It’s Halloween!
It doesn’t have to be something that I can go out and buy. I don’t mind making it myself.
I was trying to think of some kind of fat villain in a horror movie, but couldn’t come up with anything. I was also thinking that I could turn the costume from someone fat to someone pregnant, but I couldn’t think of any ways to make a pregnant chick scary.
Basically, I’m trying to find a scary costume that will make my weight work for me.
Any ideas?

I’m gonna try this again, I would appreciate opinions on this costume. :) ?

http://www.3wishes.com/halloween.asp It is the first costume only, it’s princess leia from star wars and I would be carrying a little plush yoda, my hair wouldn’t be stripper-like, it’d be true to the movie and be in a ponytail, and it would be used to an adult party and then to clubs downtown where they hold costume contests also. I would appreciate that people over 21 answer since it helps to know how the nightlife scene can be or can get during halloween to give a thoughtful opinion. I also want to know if it’s too showy to even be sexy anymore.

I have worked in lots of clubs, and the Halloween cash winners for sexiest costumes are almost always something with not just skin but also garters and stockings. Sheer stockings and a garter belt almost always win whether the theme is a vampire, maid, nurse, ho, cop or whatever. this year they are even showing then on fairytale characters.

Not surprising, since stockings and a garter belt have always been the single thing most men can’t resist. Check out the costumes on stockingstore.com, look at the adult costume section, they are a lot sexier than the Halloween section.

homemade halloween costumes angel wings

Everyone, regardless of age, loves to dress. If you have something to celebrate, what better than to push the boat to hold a costume party?

One of my friends will celebrate its 30th birthday this month and decided it would hold a costume party. I suggest that she has an evening Theme and after much discussion with mutual friends, we decided on a "wicked and nice" subject.

Basically, the idea is that the ladies dressed in angel costumes and men dressed as devils. However, two of the guests, husband and wife, Micky and Louise, have decided it will fun to enjoy a little role reversal. Louise comes disguised as a devil and Micky will be dressed in a costume angel! Micky is 6 feet 2 inches and a player Rugby fan of good, if the light dressed as an angel in white satin and lace with a pair of feathered wings should be a laugh! They wondered where they could find an angel fancy dress costume big enough to hold and asked my opinion because they know I'm something of an expert on this subject. I had the opportunity to give details of online specialty retailer of costumes, some sizes and Bender values "kind" of clothes. Of course, the halo and wings should provide no problem because they are the norm at any costume angel costume must match and possibly with a small adjustment in the context of broad shoulders footballer Micky.

Two other customers who have also decided to change roles, but in another way. Caroline has chosen a theme for his costume fallen angel and found a little red pepper and black online retailer. They must also wear a pair of large black wings and dramatic, with fishnet stockings and black stiletto heels, no doubt, look dazzling. Her boyfriend, meanwhile, dressed as the angel Gabriel, with a flowing white gown made of powdered leaves decorators. She bought her silver wings and a halo of light costume shop in a mall outside the city.

For my angel fancy dress costume, I decided to go as a sexy angel money. I ordered from an online shop a silver lamé strapless mini-dress trimmed with faux fur around the bust line and hem. Equipment is completed by a silver belt buckle and decorated with crystals. My halo is made of white fur fabric attached to a headband and wings are lined with leather panels represent distinct impression of feathers. A pair of diamond mesh net and long white gloves, white nylon highly complementary to my angel dress costume fantasy. I can not wait to dress up!

angel fancy dress costumes

What should I add to my angel costume? URGENT!!!!!?

So I am being an angel for Halloween and this is what I have so far:
halo
white sheet
homemade wings with glitter on the edges

I need to know how ro attach the wings….cuz if I wear them like a backpack the sheet will lose flowy effect and press against my body. And also I need to know what shoes to wear, and how to make it prettier…and how to wear my hair. I am a 15 yr old girl with long brown hair.

Thanks!

Keep your hair down so it can flow around when you move. Nothing is more elegant. ; )

I can’t offer much help on the wings part, but you could either go barefoot, or find some fancy white/ light-colored sandals. You can try adding lots of long ribbons to your dress, or loosely drape them around your arms and legs.

Trick ‘R Treat? Movie Confusion?

I Just Finished Watching The Movie Trick ‘R Treat. To say im confused is an understatement. So what ive understood is. The girl in the robot costume in the beginning was killed because she broke the superstition, The teens in the quarry were killed because of the joke. The principal was killed by the wolves, after killing the fat kid. And the old guy was the bus driver and is killed by the dead kids. My questions are: who is sam? was he once a person that was killed or is he a spirit of halloween and evil? And the girl dressed as a witch that escapes the quarry comes out of the house with all the pumpkins, but thats where the bus driver lives? And who killed the girl in the alley if the principal wasnt a real vampire? And what did the bus driver and sam have to do with razor blades in candy? Please help me solve my confusion! Thank you.

Sam is the spirit of Halloween and he killed anyone who didn’t celebrate Halloween. The girl dressed as the witch, I thought, put the pumpkins in his yard, just because she loved carving them. The girl in the alley was killed, but the guy thought he was a real vampire. He probably killed her with the razor blades that he put in the candy.

The reason why the bus driver lived (for a short while at least) was because he had Halloween candy, therefore ‘in’ the Halloween spirit. And remember, the principal was the one that put poison and razors in the candy, which the bus driver stole from a kid trick ‘r treating at his house.

I hope this helps clear any confusion.

Batman Movie Costumes: Find Out The Actors Who Worn Them

Who are the best actors to have worn Batman costumes over the years?

The very first person to play The Caped Crusader was Lewis Wilson in a fifteen part serial. It was simply called, ‘The Batman’ and it was first shown in 1943. Robin was played by Douglas Croft. The serial is still enjoyed by fans of The Dark Knight even today.

In 1949 a second serial was released. This one saw Robert Lowery and John Duncan donning Batman costumes for the lead parts. This time, Bruce Wayne also had a girlfriend involved in the story. Her name was Vicky Vale and she was played by Jane Adams. However, the overall style and quality of this second adventure, ‘Batman and Robin’, did not quite measure up to the first offering.

The airwaves also featured serialised adventures with the hero. These first started in 1945 and continued until 1950. After this time the adventures of The Caped Crusader stayed only within the pages of his comic books. The actors had taken a break and the Batman costumes were all sent off for dry-cleaning.

The Dark Knight made a comeback to the screen in 1966. This time the Dynamic Duo were played by Adam West and Burt Ward. The whole of Batman was to take on a far more camp image. The television series proved to be very popular and the actors managed to create a feature length film in between shooting episodes for the show.

After the live action show, the actors again hung up their Batman costumes and made way for several animated portrayals of The Dark Knight. These continued, in different forms, throughout the 1970s.

In the 1980s, Batman again stayed within the realms of comic pages but things were starting to change with the character. The stories began to become far more gritty and realistic. The Batman costumes were starting to evolve as well. They were getting to be far more battle-orientated and the campness of the 1960s was gone.

1989 saw the release of Tim Burtons ‘Batman’. It was a huge success and it went on to redefine the lead character for a new generation of fans. The film was dark and sombre. Even the Jokers’ gags had a cruelness about them that had previously not existed. This time it was Michael Keaton who played the lead role with support from Jack Nicholson and Kim Basinger.

Since this, the character has retained much the same image for all of the subsequent movies. That brooding, Gothic feel is evident right up to the latest addition in the film franchise. Actors to have dressed in Batman costumes since 1989 include; George Clooney, Val Kilmer and Christian Bale. There have also been some very good villains who have been portrayed by the likes of Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

It is safe to say that Batman is going be staying around for a good few years to come. Whoever next plays the main character is uncertain, but it is sure to be interesting.

Having fun safely with infant halloween costumes

Halloween is a time when the infants can also have fun. It is really interesting dressing them up in different kinds of costumes. It is really cute to watch these children below two years and parents enjoy dressing them up.

It is really simple to dress the infants in costumes of animals and birds. They can be dressed up in baby bunting costumes. They can be dressed as a bunny, a lamb, a dragon, a monkey, a puppy or a duck. They can wear the costumes of brave lions, striped tigers, teddy bears, baby elephants, cuddly cats or dogs, birds with feathers, colorful peacocks, bumblebees etc. They can also be dressed as a caterpillar, a lobster or even a goldfish. Infants can also be dressed as a pizza slice, a banana, a football, a Hershey’s kiss or even a little devil. It is easy to make them wear a pant and shirt of the material and color that is suited to that particular animal or bird. Then accessories can be attached. Masks can be also given. Infants love to dress up in the clothes of animals which they can identify with.

Infants nowadays watch a lot of television. They can identify characters in the television shows. So, they can wear costumes that make them look like Superman, Batman and Spiderman. They can also be dressed up as Tom and Jerry, Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse, Pokeman, Winnie the Pooh, etc.

They can also be made to look like fruits, vegetables and flowers. The right type of costume has to be chosen and they can identify with the dress. The infants can also wear the costume of Barbie doll or an angel. Girls would love to look like Barbie doll.

While dressing up infants in various costumes some safety measures should be followed. The infant has to wear the costume for quite some time. Care should be taken so that the costume chosen should be comfortable and not too tight. It should also not be too long such that it will make the infant trip and fall. It should not irritate the skin of the infant. The costume should also suit the weather conditions of the place. If it is too cold, the infant should have layers of clothing inside the dress. If it is a warm place, the costume itself should be of a light material.

The infant should be placed in an area where there are other infants. This will provide safety for the child. When it is dark, the infant should be easily seen and recognized. It will be good to stick a reflective tape to the costume so that it is easy to identify the infant in the Halloween party. The reflective tape can glitter and shine. It can be placed on the wings of a fairy or the hood of animals or on the back or the front of any dress.

There will be jack-o-lanterns at the Halloween party. Since the material chosen might not be fire resistant, the infant should be carefully looked after.

An infant might not be ready to wear a mask, since they will not be able to see properly through it for a long time. The best thing would be apply light make up. Any over-the-counter paint that is used on the face might be zinc or acrylic based. The paint might not be easily removable on face, hair and clothes. If make up is used, it should be tested for sensitivity. If a cold cream base is used, it will make the removal of make up easy.

Care should be taken to ensure the safety of the infant so that the whole family can enjoy the Halloween festive mood.

do YOU dress up for halloween?

and if you do what are you gonna be this year? would you line up your costume with your kids?

my kids are both going to be wild animals (a lion with a monkey backpack harness and a penguin ) and we’re going to the zoo… im seriously considering going as a zoo keeper.

I’ve always loved going as a vampire because my pale complexion just makes it so easy! lol
no! i haven’t had my baby yet :( my preeclampsia is getting worse and i’ve been waiting a week to be induced but apprently winter was VERY cold this year and a ton of other girls are in line to be induced and others are popping so my induction keeps getting pushed back.

Since I will be pregnant for halloween this year, (34 weeks at that time) I was thinking of being a nun. Lol my boyfriend thinks it will be funny to see me dressed up as a pregnant nun. I was also thinking about dressing up as other things but i’m still not sure. I know when my baby is born it will be hard to decide on what he/she should be. There are so many cute little baby costumes and it will be hard to pick.

By the way, did you have your baby yet?

Indiana Jones Costume: Let the Adventure Begin

Indiana Jones is back. As a result, this ultimate screen hero is destined to be one of the hottest costumes for Halloween among kids and adults alike.

To achieve just the right look, you’ll need to prepare your Indy gear. Below is a list of must-have items to pull off the best Indiana Jones costume in town.

The Fedora – First and foremost, you’ll need to secure Indy’s signature Fedora. Indiana Jones and his Fedora is iconic and is known to rarely leave his head. This hat is integral to the character of Indiana Jones and designed to capture his essence.

The Jacket – Indy’s jacket goes hand in hand with the Fedora. It is inspired by the leather jackets of the 1930s that preceded the advent of the famous A-2 jacket worn by American fighter and bomber pilots in World War II.

The Shoulder Bag – Although Indiana Jones used his shoulder bag to store things like pencils, maps and other props, this element of your Indiana Jones costume can be used to store the plans for your tricks or to collect lots of treats.

The Boots – Like Indy, your boots should have a strong tread and not be too heavy. After all, you need to be ready to run (in case you get spooked).

The Bullwhip – One of the oldest weapons in human history, Indiana Jones used his leather bullwhip to hold his enemies at bay and swing across ravines. This weapon will definitely come in handy to scare off any unwelcome ghost or goblins knocking at your door (and for the kids, the monsters in the closet). Although Indy used a 10 foot bullwhip, shorter replicas will fit the bill to top off this costume. But, whatever you do, don’t get too excited about swinging your whip around. This weapon takes great skill to use efficiently and without inflicting unnecessary pain upon yourself or others.

The Pistol, Holster and Belt – The bullwhip is not Indy’s only weapon of choice. Usually a World War I era revolver, this weapon is a great backup to defend against the scary creatures of the night. Replicas (not the real thing here folks) are available online and include the leather flap holster and belt.

Shirts and Pants – With your accessories in place, you must not forget Indy’s signature khaki pants and Safari shirt.

The above items should make your Indiana Jones Costume complete. While you may need to substitute items here and there, remember that an adventurous attitude will bring your costume to life. Once you put your ensemble together, with attitude in check, the journey begins…
