Silliman College from above



Silliman College is a residential college at Yale University. It opened in September 1940 as the last of the original ten residential colleges, and includes buildings that were constructed as early as 1901. It is the largest college in terms of area, consisting of a full city block in New Haven, Connecticut, bordered by College, Wall, Grove and Temple Streets.



The older, Indiana limestone part of the college consists of the Vanderbilt-Sheffield dormitories and Byers Hall, both originally part of the Sheffield Scientific School. The Van-Sheff portion of Silliman was built between 1903 and 1906 by architect Charles C. Haight in the Collegiate Gothic style. Byers Hall was built in 1903 and was designed by Hiss and Weekes architects in the modified French Renaissance Style.



The newer, Georgian brick portion of the college, which includes most of the core facilities and the Master’s house, was completed in 1940 when the college was opened. Architect Eggers & Higgins designed this part of the college.



Due to Silliman’s size, the college is able to house its freshmen in the college instead of on Yale’s Old Campus, allowing first year students to immediately become immersed in the vibrant student life in Silliman.



The College has links to Harvard’s Pforzheimer House and Dudley House, as well as Trinity College, Cambridge and Brasenose College, Oxford. Its rival college at Yale is Timothy Dwight College, located directly across Temple Street.

Silliman College Shield and Mascot



Silliman College’s shield has a white background, three curving red lines emerging from near the bottom of the shield (representing salamander tails), and a green crossing bar containing three acorns. In heraldic terms, the shield is described as “Arms argent. Three piles wavy, gules. On a fess vert, three acorns gold.” The colors represent the four ancient elements: red for fire, white for air and water, and green for earth. The acorns are an element taken from the family crest of Frederick Vanderbilt, 1876, who funded the college’s construction.



The college’s mascot is the salamander. Students in the college refer to themselves as Sillimanders. Silliman also owns a salamander costume suit known as “Sally” made by Michael Mackenzie SM ’03 that is worn to intramurals and Yale-wide events.



Physical Facilities



The college courtyard, which covers almost an entire city block, is the largest enclosed courtyard at Yale and is one of the glories of the old college. Students can be seen playing various sports or lounging in the sun. Because of the size of the courtyard, sports such as stickball, wiffle ball, football, and frisbee are often enjoyed.



Special facilities within Silliman include Yale’s only undergraduate art gallery, called Maya’s Room (named for Maya Tanaka Hanway, ’83), a big-screen movie theater (Silliflicks), a dance studio, a half-court basketball facility called the Sillidome, computing facilities, a student kitchen, multiple music practice rooms, and a state-of-the-art sound recording studio. The college’s library, located in the third floor of Byers Hall, is commonly referred to as the Sillibrary. The Buttery, a student-run eatery in the basement that serves greasy goodness on weekday nights, is designed in the style of the 50′s and its surrounding area includes games such as ping pong, air hockey, and pool.



The Silliman Cupola (Silliman Room 1810) gained notoriety in the early 1980s as the site of the John Lennon Memorial Phoenix Triplex, a three-story meeting place for the Yale Mutants (a group of Yale eccentrics, bohemians, artists, anarchists, libertarians, and free-thinkers). It was spot-lit externally in emerald green, and featured a powerful internal strobe light which could be seen across the Yale campus. The Cupola today is still accessible to Mutant alumni during Reunions via a series of secret passwords and entry techniques. Mutants were often connected to the New Haven underground music scene and/or WYBC, Yale’s radio station. One Mutant resident from the late ’80′s is said to have designed the Yale building that terminates the other end of Hillhouse Avenue.



Renovations



In August 2007, after three years of on and off construction, students moved back into a newly renovated Silliman College. Students now enjoy a reconfigured dining hall and servery, a stadium-seating movie theater, and a large student activities space that includes a new art gallery, dance studio, gym, basketball court, weight room, buttery, game room, and television entertainment space. The Silliman College courtyard was also restored to its former glory, with new patio spaces, benches, and grass. The renovation cost some $100 million, by far the most spent on any residential college renovation at Yale.



Because of the size of Silliman College, the renovation work on the college was completed in several phases instead of the 15-month renovation completed on other colleges:



In the summer of 2004, the roof and windows were replaced on the brick section of the college. Extra dormers were also added to the roofs so that student rooms could later be installed in the former attic spaces.



In the summer of 2005, the Silliman Tower underwent a complete interior renovation.



The entire college was shut down during the 2006-2007 school year for the rest of the renovation. All students from the college moved into either Swing Space (a new dormitory built especially to house students during college renovations), the Elm Street Annex or into independent off-campus housing until the renovations were completed.



Activities and Traditions



Intramural Sports



In 2006, Silliman College ended Ezra Stiles College’s 3-year Tyng Cup winning streak and was crowned Tyng Cup Champions for having the best intramural record of Yale’s 12 residential colleges during the 2005-2006 academic year. Silliman beat Ezra Stiles by slightly over 100 points (1186.5 to 1082.5). This championship marked Silliman’s sixth Tyng Cup win and the first since 1972. Silliman was also Tyng Cup Champion in 1941, 1943, 1968, 1969. Silliman has won the cup twice more for a three year streak, edging out Timothy Dwight by over 200 points in 2007, and Ezra Stiles by about 100 points in 2008.



Silliman’s Recent Intramural Secretaries: Michael Mackenzie ’03, Kira Goldman ’04, Alejandro Bribriesco ’04, Conor O’Toole ’04, Matthew Lynch ’06, Miguel Agrait ’06, Zachary Turnbull ’07, Brett Andrews ’08, Angel Enriquez ’08, Katrina Preston ’08, Sarah Keesecker ’09, Matthew Bressler ’09, Kelly Livingston ’09, Tsegazeab Bekele ’10, Alexandra Andrews ’11, Quyen Slotznick ’11, Dong Won Lee ’12, Josh Howard ’12 McKaye Neumeister ’12



Other Activities and Traditions



Each fall, Silliman hosts a Yale-wide 80s theme party called the Safety Dance, the largest dance at Yale. For its own students, Silliman has an annual Freshman Olympics where students from its various entryways compete in teams for the “Clean Sweep” broom and Richfest (named in honor of Rich Marshall, a member of the Silliman class of 1996), an outdoor day of fun complete with a dunk tank, cotton candy, and a moon bounce, thrown as classes end in the spring. A short-lived winter edition of Richfest, called Rachfest (after Rachel Wasser ’04), featured an inflatable jumping castle in the snow.



During Halloween week, Silliman hosts Yale’s largest haunted house in the Silliman basement featuring student actors. This event, started by Mo Nasr ’04 and which is free to the student body, has drawn hundreds of students each year, with lines stretching well into the Silliman courtyard. Silliman also hosts several other Halloween week events including a “Halloweenie Roast,” pumpkin carving competitions, and a costume contest hosted by the Master.



Silliman also celebrates the Kentucky Derby with an annual Derby Party that features traditional dishes such as burgoo, derby pie, and bourbon candy.



Throughout the year, the Silliman Activities Committee hosts many other events including very popular Karaoke Nights at Naples Pizza, the Silliman Screw, and trips to NYC, the movies, and to ski resorts.



Each winter, on the night of the first snowfall, Silliman and its rival college, Timothy Dwight, fight each other in a massive snowball fight that takes place in the courtyards of the two colleges.



The Silliringers, a group of students using hand bells donated by a former master, perform each year at the college’s Christmas Party. The college has its own newspaper, College and Wall, named for two streets that border it.



In 2007, Silliman College was renovated. A room formerly in the Master’s House, N21, became the room of five juniors. With a large, two level common room, two doubles, and a single, N21 became known as the Hotel Lobby for its (largely imagined) debauchery at night and rigorous debate during the day.



Silliman hosted many creative events organized by the Yale Mutants in the 1970s and 80s, culminating in the Festival of Life in 1982.



Silliman Fame



Silliman gained fame when the popular movie Mona Lisa Smile featuring Julia Roberts, Julia Stiles and Kirsten Dunst, was partly filmed in the Silliman College courtyard and common room. The Temple Street facade of Silliman was used to represent Harvard University, and the Wall Street Gate and the common room were used to represent Wellesley College.



Many Silliman students were used as extras in the film and those who were not gathered in the courtyard to watch the filming.



When Indiana Jones 4 was filming in New Haven (summer 2007), Dean Hugh Flick and several other Silliman students were cast as extras. A car/motorcycle scene was also filmed along the College Street side of the college, even while it was still under renovations.

Wizard of Oz Costumes?

Ok so I have three tiny dogs – two shih tsus and a poodle. I want to dress them up for Halloween. Last year our theme was Little Mermaid. I had a lobster, fish, and the third one was the dog because he looked like the little mermaid dog. This year I want to do Wizard of Oz… Any ideas on how to make a Tin Man and Cowardly Lion costumes for two shih tsus and a Scareceow for a mini poodle?

No – I am not crazy. Halloween is a big deal here. I dress up too, Dorothy this year. The little mini dress with the white stockings. Ruby slippers and all. Woo hoo.

I spend a week decorating inside and out and I get hundreds of kids. People come and take pics. I have foggers in the bushes, strobe lights, the whole nine yards. The dogs adore Halloween because they love all the kids.

Come on guys, how can I dress them up? Persi
Cool … I will look at those. I don’t need a Dorothy … that is me. You had to see the little lobster shih tzu last year – he was so adorable.

For the scarecrow, your dog can have hay on its head and around the feet and a little on the back. You may consider tying a few little sticks to make it look more woody. Dont be too harsh on the poor creature though!
A scared lion with a dog! Difficult. Shih tsus are a good breed for that. comb his hair to make it fall like mane. Ah! That will be too funny. And comb the fur on the body to make it appear less prominent than the ‘mane’.
It will appear timid anyhow, dogs cant be lions, you see.

***Please post some pix, of you Halloween party, Dear Dorothy!***

Scary Halloween Costumes for Kids

Halloween is an exciting day for many of the kids, but for some kids, particularly young ones, and a few older children too, it is terrifying because of scary Halloween costumes. Some are violent, or others simply spooky and they make confident kids feel tremendously uneasy or even frightened to the point of tears or give negative response to take part in long-established Halloween activities. For these kids, Halloween is outlandish instead of full fun.

It’s extremely significant if you have a kid who is afraid of scary Halloween costumes, or the other paraphernalia of this Halloween holiday, to honor this child’s fears. You would not be able to laugh at the child into being less scared, or reason the kid’s fears away under many circumstances. Trying to drag an apprehensive child through trick-or-treating would be of no purpose. Instead, permit your child to talk through their fears to the extent that they desire, and do not place the child into a circumstance where he/she would come across the things most feared.

Even at schools, particularly basic schools, you could assist by working with the schools PTA or parent organization to get rid of scary Halloween costumes. Since schools have a varied age population, with some kids as young as four and others as old as twelve, it’s extremely simple for the older kids to select scary Halloween costumes, which are off-putting to more than a few of the younger kids. At parent association meetings, few standards could be fixed, though this would not be totally avoid all scary Halloween costumes. Yet you could at least rid the school of ghoulish and violent costumes.

You could further motivate the scared child to dress up, and you may guide your kid toward costumes, which offer supernatural or superhero protection. Sometimes, a kid who is Superman or a gracious witch is a little more stimulated by their Halloween costume to face their fears. In this example, permit the child to speak the degree of contribution he or she might like to have in Halloween events. If the child does not really want anything to do with the holiday, respect that, and never force the issue. Fears are not normal, and they could be challenging to your plans as well, but to force a scared child on this issue is probable to set up more fear instead of less.

Unique Toddlers Halloween Costume Ideas

Always make your kids Halloween experiences memorable. Kids Halloween costumes are available in a wide range of styles. Your kid might dress up as his or her favorite cartoon character or much loved movie star. Kid’s costumes are available in customary styles as well. Few of the kid’s Halloween costumes that caught my eyes this year are included here.

Bob-the-Builder is popular with small boys. The Bob-the-Builder costume includes a checkered shirt, overalls, tough hat, and few tools to take in his tool belt. This Halloween costume is very pretty and doesn’t cover your child’s face so he will be able to have fun all of his party games with buddies without having to be worry regarding losing his mask or getting his make-up spoiled.

Harry Potter/Hermione costumes are another great idea for kids. The Hogwarts uniform includes a robe and neck tie. You might improve the costume with further more accessories. Wands are a massive addition to this vital toddler Halloween costume.

Ghosts are attractive and likely easy to make if you desire to work on a home made costume with your toddler. A bed spread or pillow case makes a great beginning place but this costume might be made simply with a white sweat outfit and small amount of face paint too. The sheet version might be made to cover the entire head and body making it hard to tell your kid separately from other kids or you might cut complete for your kid’s head and then have the sheet cover the body space only. This manner you might tell your child from other children and still have an amazing costume.

There are a lot of other kid Halloween costumes available this year. The probabilities are almost endless. Choose one your toddler is going to be capable to wear while playing the games and having fun in a Halloween party as well as going trick-or-treating or whatever your family takes pleasure in doing for Halloween.

There are certain things to bear in mind with toddlers costumes. Initially you got to ensure your kids might go to the bathroom or at least be taken out of the costume quickly at potty time to avoid accidents. One more thing to be kept in mind is your kid should be able to eat treats, walk, and play and have great fun in the party without any restriction.

Being able to see your child’s face and tell your child from the other complete specter on Halloween is vital. You don’t want to let down your child in the party either. If you can see your child’s face it is trouble-free to keep track of your little monster..!

Economical Ideas for Halloween Costumes

Halloween costumes are fast approaching, so most of the kids have been talking at huge length about the costume they desire this year for Halloween party. Following are the Halloween costumes ideas for frugal moms and dads. We hope you would like these ideas and these would as well be useful for you.

Ghost: Ghost costumes are normally inexpensive costume. You can just cut holes in an old sheet. Draw some of the chains, spider web etc on it with a permanent marker. This would give more thrills to your kids

Angel: Use a sheet like for the ghost, squirt it flippantly with some apparent spray paint and throw sparkle on it before the paint has a possibility to dry. Make a halo and the wings out of clothes pegs covered with aluminum foil.

Clown: Use incompatible oversized and too tiny clothes from every body closet to run away from the cost of a wig, make a hat from edifice paper or use an old one, beautify it ludicrously with flowers, pins, etc.

Tourist: You can use loud clothes; camera, cap, and maps sticking out of every pocket, just use your imagination.

Soldier or hunter: Living in the south, every body we know has disguise clothing, just piece as one whatever mixture you desire, apply some good paint to the face. You can borrow a canteen, scope and backpack from a friend.

Rock Star: Torn clothes, barb their hair using hair spray. Make jewelry with safety pins, clip on earrings, the dog’s collar paint their face with makeup… Only thing we bought was some spray on hair coloring.

Hippie: Any old clothes, sandals and dyed your own shirt by using some old fabric paint, which would not clutch out of the bottle good, cut the achieve and mixed it with water and dipped the shirt in then drew cipher on it with a enduring marker. Top off the outfit with a hankie or bandana, sunglasses and a pack of cigarettes (deck of cards) rolled up on to your sleeve.

These are just a few of the ideas, which could be used during our “Halloween Party”. Hope you enjoy them.

Question about angel halloween costume? but something to do with fashion. please help:)?

I decided to become an angel for Halloween. Im buying wings, and a halo. I do not know what to wear for my real clothes. I was thinking this shirt: http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat90030&productId=4371_9268 but what funds should I use if I want to be a white angel. I think white leggings, but I'm a little chubby so it would look kind of gross. Or should I use, that top, jeans dark wash skinny, white and heaters. (Makes freezing cold when we go trick or treat ") Or if you have a totally different idea of what to wear. Just to let you know that I live in Ottawa Canada, so there is no destination, Hollister, A & M, Delia, or Wetseal. I know it really sucks.

that sounds like a suit well, because by adding jeans and leg warmers, which makes you look more mature and distinguishes you from one year old in May.

Adult Costumes: The First Choice of the Mature Generation

Adult costumes, as the name suggests serves the fashionable instincts of adults. Since these are often given sexy and daring designs, they are not to be worn by the pre-adults. Most shopping malls and garment outlets have dedicated separate sections to sexy adult costumes as these are becoming very popular day by day. If you have not gone to the right kind of shop, it would be a virtual impossibility for you to choose the best sexy adult costumes. There are some shops that specialize in low priced costumes – these cheap costumes are just not worth it and hence must be avoided. At the same time, when you spend bucks, ensure you are getting your money’s worth while shopping for adult costumes.


At times, sexy adult costumes are replaced by lingerie items in the name of sexiness for Halloween parties. For instance, a bikini may be found wearing the label Adult Halloween Costume. People get easily fooled by glib salesmen and good advertising gimmicks into buying underwear in place of sexy adult costume. Customers must educate themselves regarding the difference between lingerie and sexy adult costume.


Adult costumes need fit into the party theme and blend well in the party environment. Shopping for adult costumes is very simple these days as there are many costume shops that have sprung up in the recent years. Adult womens and mens costumes sell like hot cakes during the festive seasons of Halloween and Christmas. Adult costumes are meant for all men and women, slim or obese. These costumes have to strike the right balance between exposure and disclosure. In other words, you dont need to show too much or your body and too less at the same time.


It can be a difficult task indeed if you have to buy the correctly designed as well as priced costume at the wrong place. Searching for adult men’s and women’s costumes at the wrong place is an exercise in wastage of money and time. For the newcomers, it would be better to gain some fundamental information as to how the party goers normally dress.


Some most commonly encountered adult costumes are:


o Super heroes

o Pirates

o Witches and devils

o Vampire

o Playboy

o School girl

o Doctors and nurses

o French maids

o Angels and devils


The superhero men’s costume are inspired by the comic book and cartoon film superheroes. For instance are the Batman muscle chest adult costume, Flash muscle adult costume, Hulk muscle chest costume, Robin muscle adult costume, Superman adult costume, Captain America muscle adult costume and many more.


The adult muscle chest costumes make the comic book character alive especially if the person wearing it is very lean. Pirate costumes are also a favorite amongst adults-men and women. The craze for the adult pirate costumes began after the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. Captain Jack Sparrow, in particular, became very popular among the adult men.


On many occasions, couples pair up to attend the Halloween parties in America. Such paired adult costumes are thus prepared in coordination. For instance are the Adam and Eve costumes. These parties are real fun to attend as one gets to see all sorts of couples from all walks of life.


Adult party costumes can be bought or stitched by professional tailors. Many costume stores have sprung up in the recent years that stock a variety of good quality adult costumes. The adult costumes can also be bought from several online adult costume stores at attractive prices. To get the best deals, make it a point to buy the adult costumes during stock clearance and off seasons. Many adult costume shops send out advertisements and mailers regarding the sales and discounts.


As a customer you must sharpen your senses and be ready to nose out the sale and discount opportunities. Also, keep in mind the latest fashion as you go shop-hopping for adult costumes. At times, the cheap stores may sell you outmoded dresses at lower rates – keep in mind no one wears these dresses anymore so you should not either. Just keep in mind the newest fashions and you will never be wrongly attired for a party.

Why all the costumes of Belle in Beauty and the Beast with her in her yellow dress?

I really want to wear a blue coat Belle Leader For most movies, but I can not find that dress suits. Anyone know what it is and where I might be able find A? I also think it is better with the blue!

For her blue dress was very common among people and could be confused with one person only time while the gold was a special, not seen many people and it is better to distinguish it as Belle in Disney's Beauty and The Beast.

My school is having their annual sports day , and i’m of making costumes that resemble a bear. Our budget is low , and i’m having difficulty thinking of how to make the costume.

Realistic bear? toy bear? anthropomorphic bear, like from a cartoon? With a low budget you’re probably better off avoiding a realistic looking costume.

Simplicity has a pattern for an animal jumpsuit, probably available at your local fabric store. I’d use that for the body. If you don’t like their hoody-style animal heads, you’ll have to make a head yourself. There are a couple ways to do this: use foam rubber and either carve the head to piece it together, or create a frame from wire or plastic canvas. You would then cover the shape with fur. I’ve linked a couple fursuit tutorials on how to make heads.

Help with a classic batman costume?

I’m probably going to dress up as the original batman from the comics. I’ve pretty much found everything I need online – except for the actual bodysuit. :/

I looked at spandex, but it was too shiny. Under Armour looks like the best bet, but the top costs $50 and so does the bottom. D:

Can anyone think of a cheaper alternative? Keep in mind that both pieces have to be the same color gray.

Thanks!

Something had to make some changes and did several things in the comics Batman costumes. The bat symbol on the chest of the suit "has received a yellow background as the layer has changed.

It was at this point that the costumes of Batman started to be much more "bulletproof" oriented. The other major difference is the loss of yellow and black symbol on the chest.

With Batman Returns "in 1992 to 1995, Batman Forever ' The Batman costume was almost identical, the focus remains on the beam in place and also a tissue Full central part of the abdominal muscles that go back to physics appears in the comics of the past. It is therefore seem difficult, but Batman is the only drawback is a severe restriction of movement. Batman costumes in movies lately should hinder the hero with his movements so similar to the old gentleman in his armor metal. In the comics, Batman traffic was very fluid, elegant and acrobatic. When you are covered in Teflon, Kevlar or similar will not happen.

The next step in designing costumes came in 1997 with 'Batman and Robin.

Marketing Tips For Actors- Remember The Fun!

Remember the Fun!

Can you remember the first time you saw a stage production of “something” and it hit you like a bolt of lightning? This is wonderful! Whether it was a musical under the stars in an outdoor summer tent or a production of Shakespeare that was thrilling even though you had never heard the 16th century language before. Everyone looked so intoxicating on stage in those period costumes. Or maybe you saw a comedy. You know the moment. You fell in love! And you said (not out loud to your parents but in your heart), THAT’S WHAT I WANT TO DO! You didn’t mean that’s what I want to do at summer camp or after school. When everyone else was hanging out in Latin club or at cheerleader practice you were rehearsing a play and you wanted to do this for LIFE. Everyone else in junior high or high school was just passing the time but you KNEW that it was for life. And it became your identity.
I am an actor. And you made the commitment to yourself-
“When I finish school, I am willing to go without a 9-5 job, financial security and all the things that “civilians” take for granted-an expensive car, a house, a mortgage, luxury trips, and statusy things if only I can do the work I LOVE. I don’t live to make money so I can play at acting as a hobby.” I act because that is my life, my profession, my passion.

OK. So then you rehearsed your first play-something like “A Date with Judy” or “Our Town” and you probably were cast as the old man or the middle-aged Mother and your family had to come to see you and applaud. “That’s lovely, dear, you’re so cute in the school play!” But you bided your time. You were developing. Next season it was Bye Bye Birdie or West Side Story and then your first Shakespearian production, “The Tempest” and it was so much FUN. The time struggling with the dancing, the singing, memorizing lines was worth it as you rushed from a boring science class to get to the high school auditorium to be with the “gang” to rehearse. Geez! What FUN! And then opening night and those all night “opening night” parties where you all took turns playing the other parts to hilarity and absolute joy. What fun! And then waiting impatiently until the next casting session of the next play…onto to college… ditto…the same thing but at a more professional level and finally the real world! Your first summer stock job, an Equity card and a role in TV series or Film and YOU MADE IT! You’re finally a professional! What FUN!

Segue way to a years later…Now that you are older and have struggled to pay the rent or mortgage, get that Soap or Primetime contract, book another free-lance job in a commercial or a 6 week run in a play out of town or another role on a TV episodic and you truly hope your Indie film makes it to Sundance… OK, after all the hard work can you think back to the first moment when you decided to became an actor? And can you fondly remember the years that followed where you learned your craft, studied everything from Meisner and Stanislavsky to film technique, got really good at auditioning and read all that dramatic literature from the Greeks to Chekhov, Shakespeare, Moliere? Then you mastered fencing, stage movement, dance, voice, speech, dialects, learned how to walk in 18th century costumes and how to build a set or design a costume (OK-Carnegie Mellon was thorough). But, just for a moment, remember. After all the study and effort, was it worth it? You bet your booty it was! It was the RIGHT decision! You’re an actor. You love your work and your life!

Just try to remember the FUN!

funny unique halloween costumes ideas

This Place Had So Many So Many Types of Adult Costumes to To Pick From

The kids were all set for their halloween night. Now it was time to take care of the grown ups halloween fun. With the party we were planning, we had to have special costumes. My mom promised to keep the kids after they go trick or treating so we could have the rest of the evening to celebrate with our friends. I checked the local costume shops and decided I wasn’t going to pay such a high price for costumes. They just wanted too much money for something we’ll only use for one evening. I really hated making the girls wear the same costumes they had last halloween. We thought there was no way we could buy for the girls and us. I thought about renting a couple of costumes for me and him, but that wasn’t very cheap either.

I decided to go online and see if I could find something less expensive. Am I happy I did. I ran across a lot of inexpensive kids and adult costume ideas. I couldn’t believe how cheap they were. I found the greatest costumes for the girls. They are so excited that they won’t have to wear last years stuff. They kept going over and over the selection and changing their minds on what they want to be for halloween. There is just so many to choose from it’s difficult to pick just one.

I called my sister up and filled her in on this super halloween website. I also found a lot of decorations and halloween accessories that will really help in setting up our party. Now we can get unique adult costumes that we can afford. They come at such a low cost. We spent hours checking out all the costumes. There was a few very funny costumes and some scarry characters. The first costume we considered was the hippie couple. Then we thought about dressing up as a cave man and woman or a jungle couple. We opted for the Fred and Wilma Flintstone costumes.

My first born decided to go as a witch. The younger of my two girls chose the wizard of oz character, Dorothy. We were able to get costumes for everyone in the family. We even went as far as to get one for the family dog. They even carry costumes for you dog on this website. Dino the dinosaur dog, from the flintstones, was what we ordered for our pet. We figured that would match up well with our costumes.

As soon as the costumes were delivered to our door, we had to model them. All the costumes looked great and there were no problems with the fit. Everyone thought the family dog, or should I say dinosaur, was so cute. We put all the costumes away right after we took a family photo of us all dressed up. My sister also bought all of her families’ costumes from the same online store. They were also surprised at the great selection and the low prices. With four kids to buy for, this online costume shop really helped out.

There were quite a few decorations and party stuff that we ordered from them too. We bought a neat bloody door cover warning people not to enter. We decided to order a pumpkin that blinks on and off and a bunch of spooky window clings for the house. My husband went a little crazy with the décor and decorated the entire front yard. I have to admit, it did look pretty good. We also ordered the usual halloween stuff, like spiders and eyeballs and of course plenty of streamers. Everything is ready for our halloween bash and our little trick or treaters are all set up too. With the prices so low at this online store we could get an adult costume for both of us and the kids. This will probably be one of our best halloweens ever.

i dont think i can buy anything online. …
thanks a lot!
-jade-

*crazy funny weird awesome… ANY ideas
*u can also give me what your going as because we probably don’t live in the same place so it won’t matter



Get a couple of your friends together and dress as a group of annoying TOURISTS from out of town. Wear loud Hawaiian shirts with baggy, plaid shorts. Wear big straw hats and large, dorky sunglasses. Hang big, bulky, old-fashioned cameras around each of your necks. Have lots of brochures and maps sticking out of your pockets. Wear black socks with white tennis shoes. Talk to each other way too loud.

Then, go around asking local folks stupid and unanswerable questions like: “Excuse me, sir. How many miles is it from here to the nearest drive-in movie theater?”

What’s a great couples’ Halloween costume idea for college kids?

My boyfriend and I need help coming up with an awesome costume idea for the Halloween party we’ll be going to. Something funny, creative, geeky, or just generally awesome.

Last year we were Peach and Mario for Halloween and we need a sweet idea to follow that up. Or just something really random and funny would be great too. Maybe a famous couple (real or comic or character, whatever), or just two things or people that kinda go together. (among other ideas so far, we’ve mentioned spaceman and martian, but i don’t know how to be a martian..)

Other details:
It’s for a Halloween costume party at college.
fyi: he’s tall with brown hair, and i’m small and blonde.

Thanks for your ideas!!
