Daenerys Targaryen Second Season Costume

The Khaleesi really cleaned up her (costuming) act last season, huh? I really love this blue dress - and I found a great article about all her costumes, including some fantastic blonde wigs. Check it out: http://creativehalloweencostumess.com/391/daenerys-targaryen-costume-season-two-dress


Becoming a Character for Halloween

I figure if you go to all the trouble of finding a really great costume for Halloween, why no go all the way and really BE that character? That's why I think it's a waste of time buying to cheesy costumes from the party places or superstores. You don't have to spend a wad if you're willing to add good accessories to a basic costume. But any Halloween masquerade effort deserves more than a half-baked presentation. Get into it! Do some research and really understand what drives the person behind the costume. Then be that. I guess it's just as important to get a costume that you can relate to. Otherwise, just cut two holes in a sheet and be the same dang ghost you were in second grade. Take it as a challenge to be more than a sack this Halloween. Be a character!
