Costumes for kids, costumes for adults, costumes for couples, costumes for dogs, pretty much any costume you want, you can find at any halloween store. Spirit halloween has just made it's way for the first time to Lufkin.
The times, they are a changin’, according to costume shop owner Bonnie Crays, and other adults in the area agree — halloween dress-up just isn’t the same as it used to be.
When coming up with a halloween costume idea, be creative! If you're not the creative type, the following aricle will give you a step-by-step plan to follow to help spark your imagination...
You don't need to have excellent sewing skills to create adult halloween costumes that will make you stand out from the crowd. As a matter of fact, you won't even need a needle or thread. All you really need is some creativity, a friend you can borrow something from, a closet full of clothes and easy access to a thrift shop.
This halloween, don't be lazy and simply toss a sheet over your head claiming to be a ghost. Instead, look in your very own closet for inspiration! Sift through the clothes, look at the colors and try to come up with something creative. Work with what you have and if you need help bring the most outrageous (or good humored) friend help you come up with your own creation.
And by the way...
Don't limit yourself to a particular mental image of what halloween should be. The best costume I ever saw was a homemade crash test dummy costume! Just remember...you can be funny, silly, homeless, homely, heck you can be Becky from down on the farm!
Let your imagination run wild! Don't forget to go through your mother's old costume jewelry and big hair accessories from the 80's or any other decade that would otherwise never see the light of day.
Begin by sorting your clothing and accessories into themed piles and further sort from that. Mix and match until you find something that jumps out and grabs you, hopefully it won't be last years costume.
Once you've selected your overall theme, you can accessorize and develop more specific pieces to go along with your costume.
If at any time during the process you find yourself missing accessories or certain gear to complete your costume, head on down to your local thrift shop.
Thrift shops can be a great source of ideas for a halloween costume. Just browse through the racks and see if anything sparks your imagination.
If you have a costume in mind, be sure to focus on what you need but also take notice of suitable substitutions! Remember, it's a halloween costume, not a formal event. It's perfectly okay to make up your own creations.
What's important is that you're having fun in the creation of your masterpiece costume! Keep it light and fun...who cares if no one can guess who you are? One thing is certain; you can bet you won't find anyone with the same costume - you'll be one of a kind!

Top 10 Sexy Halloween Costumes
Top 10 Sexy halloween Costumes (Sugar & Spice)
halloween is the favorite holiday of many adventurous young women who, every year, eagerly anticipate the day they can step out of their everyday life (and clothes), let loose and be someone else. Be whom they fantasize about. Well, a growing popularity is taking place in sexy halloween costumes. Adult costumes purchased year round. Now, what can that be about? Nudge, nudge… wink, wink.So here it is, you’re not weird or kinky, well maybe just a little. However, you are among a growing populace of weird women and kinky couples who are stepping up and saying “I don’t want to be me tonight, I want to be a pirate wench!” Well, who else are you?
Pirate WenchThe romantic yet powerful image of a woman not to be crossed. A drinker, carouser, and consummate rogue with supreme confidence in her own ability to survive through pillage and plunder You have a reputation to ignore rules and authority while you live each moment to its fullest. You are the captain of the high seas in your sexy pirate costume.
Sexy Schoolgirl (a year round classic) The sexy schoolgirl uniform mingles the conceptions of two completely different images. First, is the notion of innocence; on the other, the erotic appeal of sexual experience. This image beckons our desires, yet remains a taboo.
Gothic ClothesGoth is a subculture that accepts each other’s company, beliefs and sexual orientations. Goths are free thinkers, (even if gothic clothes are generally all black). Most subjects that are taboo in society are freely discussed. Goths often revel in the fear given to them by society as a whole and love the shock factor of what is accepted in this culture but not by society.
Sexy Mrs. Santa Clause Sitting on laps. Naughty and nice lists. Presents under the mistletoe. A time of giving and receiving. Cozying up on a bearskin rug by a roaring fire. Soft crush velvet and plush fur trim. Cold winters become hot with Sexy Mrs. Santa.
Nursing UniformsViolate the dress code and raise temperatures in a hot little nursing costume. No one treats the body right like the head nurse or volunteer candy striper. She’s made it her profession to know the human anatomy.
Flirty French Maid (for those feeling frisky) The French maid is a mainstream consummate representation. Generally, the humble character. A French maid may also play an authoritative role as an "operative": the concept being that it is markedly humbling to be scolded by your aide, especially if the aide is the demure French maid.
Cowboys and IndiansThe Marlboro man could never fulfill the feminine prowess of the sexy cowgirl. Lightning-fast on the draw with a set of double-holstered silver six-guns. Embrace life in the wild west with knowledge, confidence, and old-fashioned cowgirl gusto.
VampiresThe modern Dracula is metaphor for liberation. Instead of using horror to intimidate the victims, they are seduced with sensuality. Dracula is essentially a tortured soul with a deep sexual appeal. The vampire costume is dark, beautiful and dangerous. The image portrays more sensuality than horror, more seductive than scary, more victims than victimizers.
Playboy BunnyA clever corset with its own “tail” to tell. From the famous Playboy Club comes this classic vintage uniform. The Playboy Bunny Costume is a iconic and one of the original symbols of sex appeal.
Circus PerformerJoin a circus of flirtation. Under the big top you can find everything from the dominant lion tamer, to the masterful ringleader or clown. Circus acts are meant to entertain and entertain you will. If one of the costume ideas above catches your interest then go ahead and explore. If you have some other special something in mind, try it. Use your imagination and go to town!

Halloween
Hallowe'en, or Halloween, is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, costume parties, viewing horror films, visiting "haunted houses", and participating in traditional autumn activities such as hayrides (which may have "haunted" themes).
Halloween originated under the name of Samhain as a Pagan festival among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries have embraced the holiday as a part of American pop culture in the late twentieth century.
Halloween is now celebrated in parts of the western world, most commonly in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and sometimes in Australia and New Zealand. In recent years, the holiday has also been celebrated in parts of Western Europe.
The term Halloween (and its older rendering Hallowe'en) is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the evening of/before "All Hallows' Day"[1], also known as "All Saints' Day". It was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions[citation needed], until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints' Day from May 13 to November 1. In the ninth century, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although we now consider All Saints' (or Hallows') Day to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays were, at that time, celebrated on the same day. Liturgically, the Church traditionally celebrated that day as the Vigil of All Saints, and, until 1970, a day of fasting as well. Like other vigils, it was celebrated on the previous day if it fell on a Sunday, although secular celebrations of the holiday remained on the 31st. The Vigil was suppressed in 1955, but was later restored in the post-Vatican II calendar.
In Ireland, the name of the holiday was All Hallows' Eve (often shortened to Hallow Eve), and though seldom used today, the name is still well-accepted, albeit somewhat esoteric. In Irish, the festival is known as Oíche Shamhna (Night of Samhain), or simply Samhain; in Scottish Gaelic it is Samhainn or Samhain; in Welsh, Calan Gaeaf to the Welsh; "Allantide" to the Cornish and "Hop-tu-Naa" to the Manx. Halloween is also called Pooky Night in parts of Ireland, presumably named after the púca, a mischievous spirit.
Many European cultural traditions hold that Halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when spirits can make contact with the physical world, and when magic is most potent (according to, for example, Catalan mythology about witches and Irish tales of the Sídhe).
