			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When faced with the challenge of piecing together an adult Halloween costume, many people find themselves at a loss for ideas while facing a time crunch.  With the responsibilities of adult life, little time is left for costume planning.  Few adults are skilled in sewing and crafts, creating the need for <a href="http://parents.berkeley.edu/advice/holidays/halloween_costumes.html">easy</a> adult Halloween costumes that can be thrown together in a pinch.</p>
<p><strong>Let Mommy Dearest Bring Perfection to Adult Halloween Costumes</strong></p>
<p>This Halloween, bring out the dark side of motherhood by recreating Faye Dunaway&#8217;s role as the venerable Joan Crawford in the notorious tell-all movie &#8220;<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082766/" target="_blank">Mommy Dearest</a>.&#8221;  Nothing could be more frightening than a <a href="http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/object.cfm?key=35&amp;objkey=5030&amp;gkey=78">homemade costume</a> channeling her mania and allegedly monstrous behavior.</p>
<p><strong>Materials Needed:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Black or white fancy robe or wrap dress</li>
<li> Gawdy broach (the bigger the better)</li>
<li> Deep red lipstick</li>
<li> Dark eyebrow pencil</li>
<li> Wire clothes hanger</li>
<li> Blush or rouge</li>
<li> Roses</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>  Put on the fancy robe or wrap dress.</li>
<li>  Pin the gaudy brooch to the lapel.</li>
<li>  Draw in thick eyebrows and use heavy red lipstick. Dab rouge along your jawline up to your cheekbone to create an angular effect and blend.</li>
<li>  Affix some rose petals to the dress and carry some broken roses.</li>
<li>  Walk around thrashing a clothes hanger around while repeating &#8220;Tina!  Bring me the axe!&#8221;</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is your girlfriend looking for the perfect costume to don for this year&#8217;s big halloween bash?  Maybe you&#8217;re a single lady and want to outshine your girlfriends this year, putting all the hottest batchelors under your magic spell? Here are some ghoulishly sexy ideas that&#8217;ll turn you into the glowing temptress you are!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.costumes4less.com/prodimages/previews/5/previewUA83094.jpg" title="credit" target="_blank">01</a>) Princess Peach from Nintendo</p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/sexy-princess-peach.jpg" align="bottom" height="609" width="450" /></p>
<p>Sure to knock the socks off any early 90’s Nintendo nerd, Princess Peach makes an original and eye popping addition to any Halloween party!  Single or taken, Princess Peach is sure to push any guy’s buttons, especially the big “Start” one!</p>
<p><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/freerick/347259370/" title="credit" target="_blank">02</a>) Alice In Wonderland</p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/sexy-alice-costume.JPG" align="bottom" height="500" width="375" /></p>
<p>You’ll feel as though you’ve fallen through the looking glass and into a whole new world as this beauty strolls past!  She’ll giggle and smile as you easily fall under her captivating spell!  Don’t be ask her where the white rabbit is though; she has probably heard that question with every drink someone buys her!</p>
<p><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/wintrspawn/421722679/" title="credit" target="_blank">03</a>) She-Demon</p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/sexy-demon-costume.jpg" align="bottom" height="498" width="333" /></p>
<p>She’s the one monster you would love to have come out of your closet at night! Her dark and tempting countenance will catch your gaze from across the room and make you think naughty thoughts!  Don’t be afraid to take a bite from the apple, she may look out of your reach, but if you don’t take your chances talking to her you could spend the rest of the night in hell!</p>
<p><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/introspectrum/1098408180/" title="credit" target="_blank">04</a>) The Fallen DarkAngel</p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/dark-angel-costume.JPG" align="bottom" height="500" width="333" /></p>
<p>This dark and enigmatic angel has lost her way.  She may look rather tattered and torn, but trust that she’s just looking for a helping hand here on earth!  Be careful with this one, guys!  Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, so don’t do anything you wouldn’t want an angel seeing!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.costumes4less.com/prodimages/previews/8/preview1237.jpg" title="credit" target="_blank">05</a>) Feisty Feline Babe</p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/fiesty-feline-sexy.jpg" align="bottom" height="690" width="450" /></p>
<p>Her cat-like reflexes will have you purring in delight!  With a leather suit and long tail, you wont be able to keep your paws off of her!  She may just be playing cat and mouse, but who knows, they say every dog has his day!</p>
<p><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/szettella/1591699602/" title="credit" target="_blank">06</a>) Sexy Nurse</p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/sexy-nurse-costume.JPG" align="bottom" height="384" width="230" /></p>
<p>You wont fear your next physical examination when this pin-up-style nurse takes the floor.  Your heart will pound, your blood pressure (among other things) will rise and your temperature will definitely exceed 98.6 degrees, but the only fever you’ve got is uncontrollable lust!  Take a deep breath and see what the night prescribes you!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.costumes4less.com/prodimages/previews/5/previewcs413.jpg" title="credit" target="_blank">07</a>) Classy Countess</p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/sexy-countess-costume.jpg" align="bottom" height="640" width="426" /></p>
<p>Clear the way for this vampire babe’s entrance! Approach her if you dare, just look out for her fangs!  A simple kiss on the neck could turn into the bite of desire!  Better hope you didn’t eat any of the garlic bread they were serving at the buffet!  If you play your cards right, you may just end up seeing her coffin before daybreak!</p>
<p><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/robertsanque/283352168/" title="credit" target="_blank">08</a>) Rebellious Pirate</p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/sexy-pirate-costume.JPG" align="bottom" height="500" width="215" /></p>
<p>Arrr me maties! Add a glass of rum and stir things up a bit with this swashbuckling beauty from the sea!  Make sure you play your cards right or she might just have you walking the plank before you know it!  However, if you’re daring, dashing and suave enough to catch they eye of this sword swinging babe, you may end up rocking the boat after all!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.costumes4less.com/prodimages/previews/5/previewUA83185.jpg" title="credit" target="_blank">09</a>) Hero Cutie</p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/sexy-hero-cutie-costume.jpg" align="bottom" height="700" width="224" /></p>
<p>Here she comes to save the day!  Boasting such powers as the hypnotic gaze, the ray of enrapture and, most stunning of all, the ability to drain your wallet in a single night, the Hero Cutie is one character no mortal man can resist.  Just don’t get too excited!  Rumor has it she left Superman for being “faster than a speeding bullet!”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.halloweenmart.com/wecs.php?store=halloweenmar&amp;action=display&amp;target=RO1162" target="_blank">10</a>) Valley-Girl Cop</p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/sexy-cop-costume.JPG" align="bottom" height="374" width="300" /></p>
<p>Short skirt, high boots and handcuffs!?  Lose the badge and you’ve got every man’s dream in front of you!  You have the right to remain silent, and your loss for words may just force you to take it!  One thing is for sure though, if she tells you to put your hands behind your back, this is the one time you’ll thank your lucky stars for it!  Ever offer a cop a drink?  There’s a first time for everything, isn’t there?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you tired of the same old cookie-cutter jack-o-lanterns littering the streets this time of year? If so, we&#8217;ve got some original masterworks that will appeal to the inner Picasso in any pumpkin artist. Read forth and feast your eyes on these tempestuous marriages of pumpkin and knife.</p>
<p><strong>Osama bin Lantern</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/osama-bin-ladin-pumpkin.jpg" title="Osama bin Lantern" alt="Osama bin Lantern" align="bottom" height="565" width="399" /></p>
<p>We definitely wouldn&#8217;t recommend putting this on your doorstep but some may want to mock terrorism&#8230;Maybe put a knife through the top? This white pumpkin was remade into the Al Queda leader&#8217;s face, complete with badly kept beard.</p>
<p><strong>Carved by gunfire</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/carved-by-gunfire-pumpkin.jpg" title="Carved by gunfire pumpkin" alt="Carved by gunfire pumpkin" align="bottom" height="278" width="399" /></p>
<p>On the surface, it looks like your ordinary jack-o-lantern. But while most pumpkins are carved with knives, this one was re purposed with another tool: a .22-caliber rifle! It must have taken a pretty skilled marksman to fashion a face out of live ammunition!</p>
<p><strong>Balinese Carved Pumpkin</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/balinese-carved-pumpkin.jpg" title="Metallica Halloween pumpkin" alt="Metallica Halloween pumpkin" align="bottom" height="338" width="399" /></p>
<p>This pumpkin is a flawless recreation of a Balinese demon, inspired by the island of Bali, Indonesia. The detail and precision on the creature&#8217;s teeth and ears are absolutely stunning. This is an example of the boundless potential inherent in the artisan-pumpkin relationship!</p>
<p><strong>Metallica</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/metallica-halloween-pumpkin.jpg" title="Metallica Halloween pumpkin" alt="Metallica Halloween pumpkin" align="bottom" height="400" width="399" /></p>
<p>Heavy metal fans rejoice! No longer will you be left out of the Halloween celebration that your dark metal music shares so much in common with. This craftsman looked at his pumpkin and saw in his mind&#8217;s eye the tribute to hard rock music that had for so long been missing from autumn decorations. The pumpkin features the familiar fist artwork from the “St. Anger” album artwork.</p>
<p><strong>The Burger Pumpkin</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/the-burger-pumpkin.jpg" title="The burger pumpkin" alt="The burger pumpkin" align="bottom" height="433" width="399" /></p>
<p>Think you&#8217;re looking at Burger King&#8217;s latest creation? Think again! This pumpkin was actually split in half, turned upside down, and stuffed with burger fixings to create the image of a delicious cheeseburger.</p>
<p>Disclaimer: The authors of this website are not responsible for the behavior of dogs who mistake this pumpkin for a burger, should you choose to emulate it!</p>
<p><strong>Angry Tiki God</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/angry-tiki-god-pumpkin.jpg" title="Angri tiki god pumpkin" alt="Angri tiki god pumpkin" align="bottom" height="897" width="399" /></p>
<p>From the sacred texts of ancient mythology comes this pumpkin, a stunning replication of an angry tiki god. The tribal paint on his face is consistent with mythical portrayals of how this god looked, and the open top is considered a vent for the tiki god&#8217;s anger to flow out of him.</p>
<p><strong>Chinese Dragon</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/chatter/wp-content/themes/alwaysfresh/images/chinese-phoenix-pumpkin.jpg" title="Chinese phoenix pumpkin" alt="Chinese phoenix pumpkin" align="bottom" height="441" width="399" /></p>
<p>In the spirit of saving the best for last, we offer you this pumpkin masterwork. With an exacting precision and skill, this masterwork transcends pumpkin carving to become fine art itself. Notice how the artist takes care to position everything in just such a way that it utilizes the right amount of light. The end result is a  lit pumpkin that brings this ancient symbol of Chinese heritage to a stunning level of visual realization.</p>
