Make Your Own Michael Jackson Outfit Easily This Halloween

Everyone has their role-model, favorite singer or artist, and obsession. My sons personal obsession is Michael Jackson: the king of pop! Everything about him for my son is unique, unforgettable, hot and eccentric. Not only was Michael the best, had a voice that gave you goose bumps all over your spine, and could dance like a demon but he also had a great taste in style!

Have you ever really paid attention to the clothes he wore? (RIP the King) Every single costume or outfit he chose was incredible and constantly talked about. For many years my son would dress up like him for various occasions such as birthday and costume parties, talent shows and gigs.

He's pulled off almost every look the King of pop had chosen such as the "Black and White" video style, the "moonwalk" look, similar clothes to the ones he wore in his "The Way You Make Me Feel" video, so on and so forth.

But for some reason he never pulled off the very famous "Thriller" look which made millions back in the 80's. The eerie ghostly costumes worn in the music video were a complete success and many people would imitate the look. After thinking for a while, he decided that he would remake the "Thriller" look by Michael Jackson for Halloween this year!

A lot of hard work is required for re-creating the look Michael Jackson wore in his video, but we are creative and have great imaginations, so I have no doubt that his costume will be outstanding. It's a great thing he's skinny, and has long legs, so he's going to buy skinny red leather pants, a red leather jacket which is ripped and has holes with high sleeves, and a regular black tight shirt underneath.

The shoes that will be chosen are definitely going to be black, curved in a square way with bright white socks to show - we want to the look to as perfect as it can be! I'm not exactly sure if Michael wore a belt in the video since the quality of the video is so dark, but my son is going to wear one anyway, which will also be made of leather, thin and tight on his waist.

No accessories are required for this particular Michael Jackson costume since the total look is that of a zombie; in this case a lot of makeup and a corresponding hairstyling is necessary. After researching a few makeup tutorials, we will go out to the costume store and drugstore to purchase the required products.

Michael looked very yellowish in the video, so my son's skin will be painted a light tint of yellow and beige too, with black eyeliner smudged on his eyelids and on the underside of his eyes. Special lens will be worn too for special attention and to really be considered as the original zombie Michael was in this famous video. I'm very excited for this look my son will be wearing as he is paying a special tribute to the King of Pop.

I still have a month left of hard work because I'm also thinking of sewing some of the clothes myself, it all depends on the time and help I receive. Wish me good luck and pray that my son will look exactly like one of the ghouls in the "Thriller" music video! We hope all your Michael Jackson Outfits are great ones!

Avatar Costumes For Kids - The Ideal Outfit Can Be Yours

Avatar is a movie that adults and children around the world have come to love. With its award winning cinematography, special effects and memorable characters, it is no wonder that children are fascinated with the characters. Here are some tips to help you make your own avatar costumes for kids.

Chances are, if your child is a girl, they will want to dress up as Neytiri. Most boys will want to dress as Jake Sully. Some girls may want to dress as the Avatar of Dr. Grace Augustine. Whichever role your child wants to play, it can be easy for them to dress up as a character from Avatar.

For girls who want to be Neytiri, you will need a blue full body bodysuit, as well as a long braided wig, a cloth "apron", a gauntlet, as well as beaded necklaces and bracelets. You could put all this together yourself, however, it is very easy to find this costume at a reputable costume shop. Most of the prepared costumes also include a tail, and feathers and other elements of the costume to make it as real as possible

The Jake Sully Avatar costume is one that can be purchased from a costume shop. However, it is also easy to put together from many boys' current wardrobes. With a blue turtleneck, a pair of black shoes, some khaki pants and a field or expedition jacket, you have almost all you need for your costume. As with the Neytiri costume, you will need a wig or to braid your son's hair to get the full effect. However, many of the Sully costumes include a mask. It is your choice if you have your child wear one or not.

While not many children would dress as Dr. Grace Augustine, the researcher and teacher, it would offer children an opportunity to dress up without feeling self conscious or feeling "naked". To Neytiri's typical costume, slip on a pink or white tank top and a pair of jeans.

While masks are available for both Jake and Neytiri, the real beauty of this costume can be in how you interpret your child's personality and make it shine in their make up. Use a blue body paint as a base coat and apply it to your child's neck, face, lips and ears. Now make dark stripes that look like a zebra or a cat on their face, then add light colored dots in between the stripes. You can add prosthetic ears or simply make them out of paper and attach them with bobby pins.

While many of the Avatar costumes for kids, especially the Sully costumes offer your child the ability to use a mask, remember to safety while trick or treating. Masks offer limited visiblility, making it difficult for children to see and be seen. Trick or treat in groups, preferably with an adult.
