Historical Halloween!

The Wishcraft Costumes catalog arrived at our house a few weeks ago. Sam and I have poured over these costumes several times, almost on a daily basis. Naturally, Sam loves all of the superhero costumes. I love all of the historical costumes. If I had a little girl, I would buy her the Empress Josephine costume or the Marie Antoinette costume in a heartbeat. If only they made those costumes in adult sizes!

Wishcraft does make some other historical costumes for families, though. My absolute favorite is the "Vampires of Versailles" family costume. (How can you turn down a costume with a name that awesome?!?) Or, as a backup, I wouldn't mind if J and I were Victorian ghosts.

"Vampires of Versailles"

"Ghostly Adults"

Unsurprisingly, these historical costumes are too pricey for merely trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. (They are actually rather expensive, with each adult costume marked somewhere around $140 to $200.) I almost want to throw a posh Halloween party, just so I'll have a reason to wear something this awesome...

I love the idea of a posh Halloween Party. I'm sure you could do some second hand shopping and pull off a similar effect for much less than $200 a costume. Or, if you did buy one of the costumes, you could give a few lectures in them. I'm sure the students would love it.

A. Those are AWESOME.

B. I bet you could fit into the largest child size costume.

C. I want you to throw a posh Halloween party and then invite me to it. And find me cheap airfare.
