Dress Up as Elvis This Halloween and New Year

Introduction
On July 18th in 1953, a truck driver named Elvis Presley cut his first song at Sun Records Recording Studio in Memphis Tennessee and with the later arrival of local musicians Scotty Moore and Bill Black recorded some of the earliest and most popular Rock n’ Roll records of all time. Early songs by Elvis such as ‘That’s all right mama’ originally by Arthur Crudup and a cover of Bill Monroe’s ‘Blue Moon of Kentucky’ and along with later records such as Bill Haley’s ‘Rock Around the Clock’, defined the Rock n’ Roll genre by blending boogie-woogie and blues music. It must be no doubt that Elvis Presley is one of the most influential performers of all time and obviously one of the coolest people to dress up as this Halloween or New Year.
Costume Ideas
If you are looking into dressing up as Elvis there are various online sites from which you can purchase a costume. The majority of the costumes are based around his later years from 1970 and the costumes he wore during this period up until his death in 1977. Most of the costumes consist of white jumpsuits that are often studded with glass jewels, these often come with some sort of belt that often also has attached glass gems. In order to finish off the costume you will need a black wig or perhaps slick back your own hair if it is long enough. Obviously unless you are incredibly lucky you will need to go out and buy some long side burn attachments to complete the facial hair features. Next you will be looking at purchasing some sun glasses to complete the cool look, generally the bigger the glasses the better, and a tint of gold around the rims always works well. Also a hairy chest wig or some sort of inflatable guitar is also appropriate as well as a cheap plastic microphone which can add extra character to the costume.
If you want to dress as other eras of Elvis, then the leather jacket era of the 60’s is always a good look, it first starts with a black leather jacket and trousers and make sure they both fit quite snugly in order to wear them just like Elvis did. Next it is always a good idea to decorate the leather jacket with rhinestones in the shape of a guitar on the back, and leave the top of your jacket slightly undone in order to fit in with the look of Elvis at the time. The hair at this time was quite long with long side burns and the hair long over the fringe. A good example of this eras look is the comeback special in 1968, which reinvented his career at the time, but if you are looking for a more stereotypical hair style you could use the later style that is big and slicked back. If you want to go for the ‘Jailhouse’ look from the film ‘Jailhouse Rock’ released in the 1950’s, then you will need a denim jacket and jeans and a black and white striped shirt. The bottom of the jeans should also be rolled up so that the socks are easily visible, similar to the film. To add extra authenticity add Presley to the left front of the jack and add the numbers 6239 to the right side which comes from Elvis Presley’s jailhouse number in the film.
Whatever you do this Halloween or New Year, the Elvis costume is always a well used favourite at parties, and has to be one of the most easily recognised costume available. But what shouldn’t be forgotten is his impact on popular culture and his genre defining music that will surely be around for as long as music is.

Your Sexy Santa Outfit Livens Things Up

At Christmas time, people start to gather for parties and celebrations. Sometimes these are family dinners. Other times, they are adult only no-kids-allowed staff parties. If you’re going to one of these at Christmas, why not wear a sexy Santa outfit?

Sexy Santa outfits can make us laugh and giggle. It feels just a bit naughty but not enough to make us blush too much. Sometimes they make us wag our tongues and our eyes bug out just a bit. Is she really wearing that? Oh yes she is!

It’s very fun for some couples to dress up in cute costumes when going for private time in the bedroom. It’s a fun loving and healthy way to introduce new life to a marriage or intimate relationship. During the holiday seasons, it’s nice to dress up in a sexy Santa costume, for either husband or wife. That’s the present that keeps on giving, in way of memories.

Not every Christmas outfit is a Santa outfit though. Some cute Christmas outfits might be green, for example. That makes them a sexy Christmas elf outfit. A Santa outfit should be red, and perhaps have some white trim in feather or fur. However, the epitome of the sexy Santa outfit is the hat! A nice floppy cap with a white ball at the end just screams “I am Santa!”

A good Santa outfit should also have black boots. That doesn’t mean they won’t come with other types of foot gear though. Sexy suits meant for the bedroom might come with garters or stockings, sometimes striped like candy canes. A woman can also buy a swimsuit covering T-shirt that has a sexy Santa outfit painted on it front and back, perfect for the beaches in winter holiday locations. There are even men’s Santa suits. These might be red and white tuxedo-colored trousers. They might also be red trousers with suspenders. But they always have the hat!

Holiday cheer comes in many forms. Some people prepare lavish dinners. Others decorate the house in abundance with Christmas colors. If neither of these are your style, why not show up at an adult Christmas party in a sexy Santa outfit? You’ll make everyone smile, and maybe get a few extra kisses under the mistletoe!
