True Blood – Get the Look

True Blood is an American television series which is an interesting concept of  the co-existence of vampires and humans in a small town in the state of Louisiana.

Did you know that vampires have no brain waves, no heartbeat, or a need to breathe and no electrical impulses whatsoever in their bodies. Have you ever met one ?Fangs Dental Kit

 

The series began in 2008 and is now into its  fifth season.  I can’t wait until 2012 when they have another 12 episodes.The story centres around a character called  Sookie Stackhouse who is a telepathic waitress who falls in love with vampire Bill Compton.Want to be a bloodsucker?First of all get the pale washed- out  look,  just don’t go out in day light for a couple of years.True Blood – Fake Vampire Blood

“I have used these fangs myself and have found them to be very easy to use and stay in well. They are comfortable but you sound a bit funny when talking ! Imagine I had to talk to the Inland Revenue on the phone whilst wearing mine in the shop at  Halloween I had to explain that I couldn’t speak very clearly because I had my fangs in – fortunately they saw the funny side and said they would ring back when I was back to normal “.

Halloween is already a great theme party, and it comes with its own colour scheme (orange and black) or dark and scary but you can give your Halloween party even more of a focus with costume themes that can incorporate it in the invitations,  food, decorations and games.

Why not set the scene – 24 hr party shop has some great  Scene Setter Add Ons.

You can buy a pack of 2 add ons which are around 5 ft tall each. Can be used on top of room rolls or as decorations on their own either on walls or doors – inside or out as they are made of plastic.

Halloween Party Food

How about a wiggly worm jelly, trick or treat cookies or ghostly white chocolate apples.  Here are some great  ideas from  UK TV website or Halloween recipes from the BBC website

 

I love this idea – The Dead Hand Punch

Get a party punch and put a floating hand in it.  Just fill a latex glove with cranberry juice and freeze it.  Just before you serve peel off the glove and drop it into the punch to keep it cool and put a horrifying  touch the wicked drink.  You could even add jelly snakes around the side of the bowl.

The Xmen Commeth

Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were arch-enemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-MEN. Written by Twentieth Century Fox

Storyline

This reboot was needed after Wolverine Origins brought down the X-Men universe to a shambling mess, however it is also a step up from the third X-Men film. Seeing the youthful Professor X and Magneto as best friends working together before becoming arch-enemies is a brilliant concept. The mutants, some familiar, some not so familiar are well represented among the human existence. Settings around the early 1960′s is a brilliant move with the era lovingly created, especially the costumes.

Frantic and loud as they may be, the action set pieces are nothing short of astonishing. The submarine moment lives up to the excitement of the trailer. January Jones just needs to appear on screen as sultry Emma Frost to captivate me, while Australian Rose Byrne rocks as Doc Mac Taggert. Perfect casting of Mc Avoy and Fass-bender as Xavier and Magneto respectively is a constant winner. Lame one liners aside, this is a fine accompaniment to the Marvel universe. Also watch for a rather vulgar but memorable cameo from a ‘hairy’ X-Men favourite.

The Cute Look

I love the new costume  which arrived into the shop   the other day.

I would say its a sexy naughty nautical look and I just love the  accent of the red bows.

I have noticed this year that bows on ladies fashion items are the latest craze.  I would call it the cutesy look.
