I Am Planning My First Blogging Field Trip

This is just a taste of some of the great Halloween posts you can expect from the Cave of Cool this October. I am pouring my energy into everything I do...kickin' it up a notch...and seeing what kind of stuff sticks in the minds of those who notice such things. Today I was researching HALLOWEEN COSTUME SHOPPING and as always, I appreciate your comments and criticisms.

Every Halloween they seem to open a big seasonal store to sell costumes and other Halloween bits and pieces. Over the years those spaces have become larger and larger with more products available than ever. As kids we had to make out outfits from whatever we could find around the house or at the tiny Halloween display at the local drug store. Why do you thinks so many of us went dressed as pirates or ghosts? Or vampires if you could find a pair of fangs.

So I love to go to these temporary stores and see all the great stuff that is for sale from masks to cool plastic weaponry. I want to find a cool two gun toy holster rig to just wear around the house. I still have my soft plastic nunchucks to practice with. That way I don't knock myself out when I bash myself in the head with them.

How cool is this shield? Cost less than 20 bucks but could be the start of a great Knight character to act out all of our Game of Thrones fantasies. It's more fun with all the proper gear and many websites I visited today to research this post offered great prices on Halloween accessories. Damn I miss not having a reason to dress up.

 

I swear if I had the body for it, I would go as THIS Numnut for Halloween. I always wanted to because despite how much I loath and mock his abilities as the leader of an international terrorist organization, I have always thought that his LOOK was spectacular. Simple and iconic. I prefer the metal mask to the KKK style hood with eye holes. It's more fun to listen to Cobra Commander rant if you don't have to look at his face.

 

 

I also would have added this cool cobra cane.

 

 

Give him a cape and it screams Meglomaniac Terrorist Leader. I like the little knife assessory you get with the complete suit. So for 100 bucks I can look kick-ass for Halloween if I still did anything like that...anymore.

 

I even thought of a friend not named Erik who seems to claim that there are not enough NINJA's in Halloween or life in general. Well here is proof that you can at least dress and equip yourself like a cool one if you wish.

 

 

Of course Halloween has turned into a huge drunken party where girls dress sluttier than they do at any other time of the year. I don't know exactly when that happened but it seems to be all the rage these days. I don't judge because I have to admit I like to see all the drunk chicks with knee high socks and their sexy Snow White dresses.

So check back in a few days when I return with pictures of my adventure. This idea was totally inspired by The Holidaze and their most recent post on the same topic. Go HERE to read the article and see some great Halloween pictures.
