Costumes Beginning with U

Posted on April 4, 2016 by Lou

If you’re looking for costumes beginning with U then you’ve come to the right place. Star Trek fans will automatically think of Lieutenant Uhura. There are plenty of other ‘U’ costumes out there, however from kooky Uncle Fester to an umpire and more.

This page was compiled as a resource page for anyone who’s been invited to an alphabet party. If you haven’t heard of an alphabet party it’s basically a themed party around one particular letter. In a nutshell you have to dress up as something beginning with a particular letter and if you’re on this webpage then the letter chosen is the letter U! I have other webpages available that cover the rest of the letters of the alphabet, but let’s look at costumes beginning with U right now.

I used to get invited to a lot of alphabet parties when I was in my 20s and I think it’s high time they caught on again!

Scooby Doo Costume Ideas

Posted on March 23, 2016 by Lou

Scooby Doo and the Mystery Inc. Crew

If you’re looking for Scooby Doo costume ideas then it’s not just about Scooby, but the whole Mystery Inc crew.

Scooby Doo was always one of my favorite costumes growing up and I loved how Scooby would jump into Shaggy’s arms when he was scared. Just thinking about it I want to put on a Scooby voice and talk about the cartoon!

I think maybe it’s time to throw a Scooby Doo party and get everyone to dress up as their favorite Scooby Doo character. Imagine lots of food, a mystery to solve and everyone wearing Scooby Doo costumes – how much fun could you have?

Scooby Doo Costumes

Scooby Doo Adult Costume

Scooby Doo is probably the most lovable cartoon dog, in my opinion anyway. He is a coward however and would prefer to turn and run as opposed to confronting the villain. When there’s no place to hide, Scooby comes up with some sort of disguise to try and trick his way out of ‘danger.’

His manner of speech is really endearing and quite distinctive. I love speaking in a Scooby voice although I get a strange look from my daughter on occasion (I’m so embarrassing apparently!). If I’m wearing this particular costume though I really don’t think she can complain about me sounding like Scooby …… or can she?

Deluxe Adult Scooby Doo Costume

The costume itself looks like a lovely, warm adult onesie which seems ideal for Halloween or a Christmas fancy dress party. I say that it looks warm, but it doesn’t actually say what it’s made of so I don’t know if it really is warm or not, but with a one piece you can always wear something underneath if need be.
The costume has a front zip which is great because it means you can get in and out of the costume by yourself – there’s nothing worse than a costume that does up at the back and you need help when visiting the bathroom!
The cool Scooby headpiece is also attached to your ‘onesie’ and you also get hand covers, but nothing for your feet.

Scooby Doo Costumes for Babies and Children

The younger members of your family can also dress up as Scooby if they want to as well, I particularly love the cute, baby bunting Scooby costume.

Scooby – Doo Child’s Deluxe Scooby Costume Scooby Doo Romper Costume, 6-12 Months Scooby-Doo Bunting Costume, 0 to 9 Months

Fred Scooby Doo Costumes

Personally I never thought much of Freddie I always thought he was too straight, I guess in retrospect he was always the most skeptical of the gang, rather like the Scully to Shaggy’s Mulder!

He’s available in both adult and child costumes –

Scooby Doo Fred Child Costume Scooby Doo Fred Adult Costume

Daphne Scooby Doo Costumes

Daphne used to annoy me because I used to think of her as an airhead, she was always the one who got into trouble and I used to think she should just leave the group and go and become an air hostess!

Women’s Sccoby Doo Daphne Costume Scooby-Doo Daphne Child’s Costume

Shaggy Scooby Doo Costumes

Shaggy and Scooby were best friends and I think were everyone’s favorite characters. Like Scooby Shaggy was always afraid of danger and was also always hungry. Mind you if a ‘monster’ had tried to take a Scooby Snack then he would have launched forward with a cry of ‘Zoinks’ and save the day.

When push came to shove Shaggy would always do what was needed to help his friends even though he was scared to death and I think that’s why everyone loved him – it’s a definition of a hero.

Adult Shaggy Scooby Doo Costume Boy’s Shaggy Scooby Doo Costume

Velma Scooby Doo Costumes

I always identified with Velma because I wore thick glasses as a child and I was also the shortest one in the family. I loved how she always managed to come up with the answer as to what the ‘monster’ really was and why that person had pretended to be whatever they pretended to be.

I think having her as a heroine just had to be good for my self-esteem while being teased at school for wearing spectacles.

Adult Velma Costume – Scooby Doo Costumes Velma From Scooby Doo Kids Costume

The story of Scooby Doo has been described as being very similar to Enid Blyton’s Famous Five a series of books that I devoured when young so it’s hardly surprising that I enjoyed it so much.

Fred or Freddy is very much the leader of the group.
Velma is the smart one, good at analyzing things.
Daphne is the danger-prone one, if any of them are going to be kidnapped it’ll be Daphne!
Shaggy and Scooby are both very food motivated and definitely cowards. They also seem to be everyone’s favorites 🙂

So which Scooby Doo character would you like to dress up as? I think I would definitely choose Scooby Doo, not just because I’d enjoy talking like him all night either, but because I think he’s the cutest and the coolest!

HOLD THE PRESSES! I’ve just found the most adorable dog costume that would be perfect for this theme, it’s the mystery machine van and it’s gorgeous, want to see for yourself?

Scooby-Doo The Mystery Machine Pet Suit, Medium

I just think it’s adorable, now I’ve just got to see if it will fit my dog and we’ll be set!

Lady Gaga Costume Wigs

Posted on September 15, 2015 by Lou

Pop megastar Lady Gaga is well known for her outrageous costumes which includes the regular use of wigs. I’ve compiled a number of Lady Gaga costume wigs for you to choose from if you want to copy her Gagalicious look for a night out or even a fancy dress event.

Some of Lady Gaga’s wigs have become quite iconic within pop culture history – who can forget the hair bow or the soda can hair for example? Other Lady Gaga wigs just helped her to create a particular look when worn with her different outfits.

Lady Gaga’s Long Blonde Wig with Bangs

Lady Gaga Blonde Wigs

Lady Gaga Straight Hair Wig With Bangs,Blonde,One Size

Lady Gaga’s first hit was Just Dance and her costumes for this single’s videos weren’t nearly as outrageous as what were to come……..she had, however, begun wearing a wig.
Lady Gaga’s long, straight blonde hair with bangs was courtesy of a wig like the one on offer here that is part of her official costume range.
She often accompanied this wig with a blue lightning bolt on her face and when she performed the song live she was often seen with a Lady Gaga style hood over the hair.

She also seemed to like wearing her long blonde wig in conjunction with a more famous hair piece of hers……the hair bow!

Lady Gaga’s Hair Bow

Lady Gaga Wig Bow Clip,Blonde,One Size

The next hair variation that Lady Gaga was seen sporting came about around the same time and is the hair bow. Now there are various ways of achieving this – the wig, the bow itself or even creating the look with your own hair (if you have long hair that is).
I think buying the hair bow is the easiest solution and you can then attach it to the long straight blonde wig with bangs that we featured first or with a short blonde bob.
Now most people are aware of Lady Gaga’s hair bow as being part of her long, blonde look as she used it several times (especially in her various origami prom dresses). However she has been photographed in a short blonde bob wig with the hair bow as well.

Lady Gaga’s Purple Wigs

Many of Lady Gaga’s best looks come when she does photo shoots and I loved the image of her as a lilac bunny that appeared on the cover of Spanish magazine Neo2, unfortunately I can’t find a copyright free image to show you here so if you want to see the look she created you’ll have to click on – Lady Gaga’s Lilac Bunny Look.
In the same year (2009) she also treated her British fans to the first peep at her long purple wig.

This was around the same time that she started carrying a china tea cup around with her – gotta love her whimsy!

Lady Gaga’s Official Wigs

Lady Gaga Soda Can Wig

After the success of her Telephone video Lady Gaga released some official costumes along with some wigs – two of which had already been featured in her Telephone Video like this one here.
How to create the soda can hair do was posted to Youtube in record time after the Telephone video was released!

This is one of the fun things about Lady Gaga’s ‘look’ people are very quick to work out how to emulate the Mother Monster and share their thoughts with other fans.

Lady Gaga Two Tone Wig,Blonde,One Size

This next wig from the Telephone video wasn’t as easy to emulate however.
This two tone wig was worn with her USA outfit and quickly became one of the fastest selling Halloween wigs for that year.

This was probably because people liked the idea that the costume made Lady Gaga seem almost like a superhero – Lady USA, very patriotic.

Lady Gaga Curly Hair Wig With Pink Streak,Blonde,One Size

The next official Lady Gaga wig was based on one that she wore to the VMAs, most memorable for being covered in blood she was sporting this cute wig as well!
I must admit I do like the curls and the pink streak in this wig, it creates a much softer look for the Mother Monster.

Long White & Aqua Wig

Lady Gaga’s 2010 VMA Wig

Do you remember Lady Gaga’s infamous meat dress? Well it’s hard to remember how she wore her hair as all the focus was on the meat at the 2010 VMA awards, but she actually introduced a white wig to us at the same time.-

Lady Gaga 2010 Video Music Awards Adult Wig

This is the wig in question, minus the meat headdress that Lady Gaga donned on the night she introduced this style to us.

The patches of aqua (or turquoise blue) on the long white wig gives a whimsical touch to Mother Monster’s hair.

More Lady Gaga Costume Wigs

Including Lady Gaga Ponytail Wig

Lady Gaga has certainly donned her share of wigs and we’ve barely scratched the surface so far. She has also played with the two toned wig idea in other ways, sported a side ponytail, a bandana and has even gone green!

I’m including a few more wigs here for you to help complete a gorgeous Lady Gaga costume for yourself whether it’s for one of her concerts, a fancy dress event or Halloween – enjoy!
