The latest on the most popular costumes for Halloween 2011
From across many retailers in the US pirate theme is very popular this season.Kids however have a slightly larger preference
with fairies and butterflies, and princesses being top of the list.
Grown ups usually pick the black-and-white costumes.
A new trend this time round with infants and toddlers are dinosaurs and lions furry outfits. Boys,on the other hand, prefer GI Joe and transformers.
Although women initially look for witch costumes, we are now seeing pirate costumes for both men and women being picked.
Zombies also seem to be a national trend according to one major survey.Usually such a trend is down to a new tv show and the hit series “The Walking Dead” could be the market driver.
Up to 2.5 million people have said they will wear zombie costumes this Halloween.
Nevertheless, previously established characters such as Captain Jack Sparrow in his various pirate costumes are perennially popular and we expect this to become more and more established, particularly as the styles associated continue to be re created with exciting interpretations appearing constantly on the retail scene.

Get hold of a good looking suite, perhaps from your local market. It needs to be very dress, if you can get tails so much the better. Paint your fingernails with black polish.Buy some artificial vines and wrap them around your sleeves and fix them in place.
Now for the head piece.You are going to have to find a pumpkin that is bigger than your head. Cut it across the base and scoop out the fruit.Cut an opening for your face. To protect any of the inner wetness from touching your face, insert 2 thicknesses of brown paper and line them with tin foil.
What you need to do is continually adjust until you get the fit right.
Finally you should add make up to create and enhance an evil look.

The real art of being a pirate is to be able to be a cowardly, greedy and deceptive!!
As a reader of this website you are of course a very nice law abiding person and would never contemplate any of these things. But if you are thinking of pushing your boundaries here are a few things you might think about
Firstly create your own pirate jolly roger. Something with a skull and crossbones or even a design more gruesome than that. Just like you were creating a logo for your business. They were in business after all. Now apply this design to all your hats flags and badges.
Make a hat from 2 cards . Firstly draw an outline of a pirates hat on them. Then cut out the shape. You can use staples to fix the 2 sheets together. Finish off the hat by painting or drawing pirate designs and also glue on some feathers and buttons etc.
Any eye patch can be made by cutting out a circle on black paper or soft card. The fold it in 2 so you have a semicircle 2 layers thick. Under the flap add your elastication .
If you are feeling particularly intent, you can now go on to create pirate ship. The idea here is you would step inside it and carry it around your waist. So start by getting a box that is just big enough tot steep inside. .
Cut a hole in the base of it. Add string to each edge of the box so you can slip them over your shoulders.
On the outside of the box apply fake cannon guns by colouring toilet tube in black and sticking them on the outside of your box.
Add a little jolly rodger flag at the back of you ship , and you are ready to go
