A former Christian artist, Katy Perry rebranded herself as a larger-than-life pop star and rose to prominence during the summer of 2008. Before she topped the charts with songs like “I Kissed a Girl” and “California Gurls,” though, she spent the better part of a decade recording music under a different name. Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (or Katy Hudson, as she billed herself on her 2001 gospel album) was born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, CA. Raised in a religious household as the daughter of two pastors, she was forbidden to listen to secular bands as a child, although a childhood slumber party introduced her to the music of Alanis Morissette and Freddie Mercury. Religious music remained at the forefront, however, and Katy released a self-titled Christian album in 2001 under her original name. She would later abandon the genre (and her given surname) in favor of a pop career.

At age 17, she began working with hitmaker Glen Ballard, who had produced and co-written Alanis Morissette’s chart-topping Jagged Little Pill in 1995. Several years later, she teamed up with the Matrix, a Grammy-nominated production/songwriting team whose résumé included collaborations with Avril Lavigne, Shakira, and Korn. Tired of producing music for other artists, the Matrix had plans to record an album of their own, with Perry serving as one of the group’s two singers. The project was ultimately shelved, but not before Perry appeared in a 2004 write-up by Blender magazine, who hailed her as “the Next Big Thing!”

You might not be Katy Perry, and maybe you’re not Snoop Dogg either, but what a cute Idea For a couples costume!

Burning Man!

Trying to explain what Burning Man is to someone who has never been to the event is a bit like trying to explain what a particular color looks like to someone who is blind.

Burning Man is a week-long event that inspires people from all over the world to come and celebrate creativity and self-expression. The Desert floor or “playa” is converted into a city of sorts with a theme.  The annual event began as a bonfire ritual on the summer solstice in 1986 when Larry Harvey, Jerry James, and a few friends met on Baker Beach in San Francisco and burned a 9-foot (2.7-meter) wooden man as well as a smaller wooden dog. Harvey has described his inspiration for burning these effigy figures as a spontaneous act of radical self-expression.

“While some artists have never questioned the current marginal and passive status of art and are content to work within the reservation called the ‘art world,’ others have made conscious attempts over the last decade to combat the relentless commodification of their products and to reenter the ‘outside world.’ In the late ’60s, after a period in which most avant-garde art was drastically divorced from social subjects or effects, many artists became disgusted with the star system and the narrowness of formal ‘movements.’ They began to ask themselves larger questions. When they looked up from their canvas and steel, they saw politics, nature, history and myth out there.”

Lucy Lippard, Overlay (1983)

Burning Man enlightens the mind, imagination, and fashion sense. In the middle of the hot desert, in a city self created, one can be anything they imagine. We have plenty of accessories and outfits that could suit anyone this year at Burning Man.

Alice, trapped in Wonderland

Alice In Wonderland is unique among Disney animated films in that it is based on three different books: Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, Charles Dodgson’s Through The Looking Glass, and Timothy Leary’s, Your Brain Is God. Scenes, ideas, and philosophies from the three books are intermixed throughout the film, making it quite the mind trip.

Great Group costume idea;  and this one would definitely go in out Top 10..

OR you could even make it a Halloween group date to remember, pair up the Evil Mad Hatter with Queen of Hearts, and Alice of Wonderland with the good ol’ Cheshire Cat. Meeeooow!

So it’s

The Good side of Alice..

To Smurf or not to Smurf this Halloween

It all started on October 23, 1958 in Belgian.  How did it all begin? Well, the original term schtroumpf and the accompanying language came during a meal Peyo was having with his colleague and friend André Franquin in which, having momentarily forgotten the word “salt” Peyo asked him in French to pass the schtroumpf. Franquin replied: “Here’s the Schtroumpf — when you are done schtroumpfing, schtroumpf it back” and the two spent the rest of that weekend speaking in schtroumpf language. The name was later translated into Dutch as Smurf, which was adopted in English.

And to top it all off, come Summer of 2011, the new Smurfs movie will be premiering!

Trick or Treat! It’s the Peanuts Gang!

Remember Linus? What about the rest of the Peanuts gang? In the beginning, there were only three characters in Charles M. Schulz’s first Peanuts comic strip- Charlie Brown, Shermy and Patty (not Peppermint Patty, she’d be “born” much later.) Charlie Brown’s dog Snoopy was also part of the original gang, but wasn’t included in the first comic strip. the one comic where parents and adults only showed their faces, voices, and hands.

You can make this a Halloween to remember and dress up your little ones in these new spunky Peanuts costumes! Or, for a great couples halloween costume idea, Get Lucy and Charlie together, take Snoopy, Linus, Woodstock, & Sally and take the whole family trick or treating this year!
