How to Dress Like a Skater Girl

First there was Gwen Stefani and then later on there was Avril Lavigine. While neither gets full credit for the look there is no denying that these two music icons gave new life to the skater girl look and it has been gaining momentum ever since. The look sort of incorporates a wide variety of fashion and mixes punk, skater, and surfer all together in one convenient look. If you want to dress like a skater girl you need to be ready for plenty of looks as the fashion statements of these skater chicks is very outlandish at times. Still it can be a fun way to go through the day.

To pull off the skater girl look, bring plenty of attitude and follow these tips:

• Pants: To pull off the skater girl look you only need to buy one type of pants – cargo. Baggy is the word here and if they are a little bit too long, that just adds to the look. These days it is not unusual to see some skater girls wearing skinny jeans but if you decide to go with this look, be sure you can pull it off. Skinny jeans usually look off unless you are skinny to begin with. On the other hand, cargo pants are easy to find and comfy to boot.

• Skirts: Want to be a skater girl but still keep your feminine side intact? You can go with all kinds of tennis type skirts and compliment them with some wild colored leggings to complete the look. Many skater girls like the black and red checkered ‘school girl’ skirts, but any shorter skirt will do the trick.

• Shirts: Go nuts here because really anything goes. Tank tops make for a good mix with cargo pants and if you want to go with the skirt option then you can go with a white short sleeved button down shirt.

• Shoes: Leave the high heels at home and grab some skater shoes. A very popular type of skater girl shoe is the classic Converse high tops. If you are wearing a skirt, you can get really risqué and go for a pair of calf-high black leather boots.

• Accessories: This too is really wide open. Some skater girls like studded bracelets and others wear vests and even men’s ties that are shorn up loosely. The whole idea behind this look to appear as if you really don’t care how you look. Avoid flashy jewelry as it will definitely clash with the look.

• Hair and make-up: To look the part of a skater girl, you can’t go all out with your hair. If you have long hair, then part it in the middle and simple let it hang down. If your hair is short you can use some gel to give it some spiky lift for that edgy punk rocker look. When it comes to applying your make-up, go light and go with dark colors. Don’t go all black as that may have you coming off as gothic, but darker colors are definitely key.

Now couple that don’t care look with a don’t care attitude and you will be all set in your quest of being like a skater girl.

Natalie Portman has been an actress since 1994 and has gained much acclaim for her role as Padme in the pre-quill series of the Star Wars saga. Portman is an unbelievable beauty and she looks great no matter what she wears. While she can definitely hang with the best of them on the red carpet, Portman also knows how to dress down but still look great. Even though Portman was not born in the United States, she has an image of the All-American girl and she pulls it off flawlessly.

Women everywhere want to mimic her style and fashion whether it is for being casual or going out for a night on the town. Here are some ways that you too can achieve the look of Natalie Portman:

• Going casual: When Portman takes the casual route she really commits. She is often seen in some nice jeans and either a cool looking tank top or a regular t-shirt. When you go for this look, be sure to stay with darker blues for the jeans and mix and match the tops with darker colors like reds, browns, and blacks. Be expressive with your t-shirts and don’t be afraid to get ones that have cute sayings on them. One of Portman’s favorite t-shirts that she wears is a play on words form the movie Star Wars. The shirt is a simple black t-shirt that says ‘Stop Wars.’

• Formal: Portman goes tight and short for these types of occasions. Of course she has the body for it, but she always opts to wear dresses that are either strapless or that at least expose her shoulders. At times she even exposes a tasteful amount of cleavage. Like her casual wear, she tends to stick to reds, blacks, and other darker colors.

• Shoes: Portman is almost always wearing heels. Sometimes the heels will the open toe type and sometimes they will be closed toe, it just all depends on what outfit she is wearing. Choose your shoes by outfit and of course make sure that the color compliments what you are wearing.

• Accessories: Portman doesn’t seem to be a big fan of accessories. She is rarely seen wearing any except for a pair of earrings. She does at times wear things in her hair like head bands and scunciis to help hold her hair up on a casual day but other than that there is really nothing.

• Hair and make-up: Portman is about 50/50 on whether she wears her hair up or down. She always seems to be styling it differently, so just go with a style you are comfortable with and that you know makes you look amazing. Portman pulls of the natural beauty look without any problems and doesn’t generally use a lot of make-up. Be sure to go light with your application and never choose a dark color lipstick as this will ruin the illusion.

Whether you are just hanging out or going out for an evening on the town, dressing like Natalie Portman will always have you looking you absolute best.

How to Dress Like Marilyn Manson

4 Replies

For years now Marilyn Manson has been creating controversy both on and off the stage. The singer derived his stage mane by combining the names of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson and his style of heavy rock combined with some pretty drastic and vulgar lyrics simply adds to his persona and has gained him much media attention. Despite his oddities, he is very popular and his look is one that many wish to achieve.

To dress like Marilyn Manson you have to think one thing only; black. Manson’s way of dressing is as dark and sometimes twisted as the lyrics for some of his songs. Here is how you too can dress like Marylyn Manson:

• Pants: Manson almost always wears tight black leather pants. Occasionally he will wear a suit to sort of mock the working man, but the pants will still be a dark color. About the lightest color you should ever go when trying to achieve this look is a dark charcoal grey. Still, a surefire way to nail Manson is with black leather pants.

• Shirts: You have lots of leeway here. So long as the shirt is black, really anything goes. Manson likes to wear regular button down shirts that he leaves un-tucked and sometimes these shirts even sport pin striping. When he wears button down shirts he usually wears a black tie to go with them. Manson has also worn shirts that range from black leather to a woman’s tube top. There really is no way to say for sure as he continues to surprise with every appearance he makes.

• Jackets: Her you can go with a regular black sports jacket or a black leather jacket. You can even go all out and wear a black trench coat that is of course leather.

• Shoes: You guessed it, black leather boots. Manson wears his boots no matter what type of outfit accompanies them. His boots typically come up to his calf and he usually tucks in the pants that he wears into the boots.

• Accessories: Here again you have lots of leeway. Spiked collars and bracelets are always a nice touch and Manson seems to like to wear black derby style hats from time to time. He is big on rings that feature skulls and other such goodies. You can also acquire a pair of contact lenses that make your eyes appear to have no color, just a black dot n the center.

• Hair and make-up: To properly pull off the Marilyn Manson look you have to go all the way with your hair and yes, you have to put on make-up too. Your hair should be one length and no longer than shoulder length. Color your hair jet black and either slick it back or part it down one side and slick it down. For make-up you have to go for the dead look. Manson uses lots of powder to create a white looking face and then darkens all around his eyes in black. Finish off your make-up with black lipstick and you are ready to go.

All that is left for you is to begin to write some songs that have deep and twisted lyrics and create some controversy of your own all while dressing like Marilyn Manson.

How to Dress Like a Stoner

16 Replies

Stoner’s are a laid back bunch and dressing like one should be approached in the same manner. While it is not mandatory that a stoner dresses in a laid back fashion it certainly is common. With that fact known, dressing like a stoner is one of the easiest looks to pull off. The fact is that most stoners either have no cares in the world or at least they act as if they have no cares.

Remember these rules are not hard and fast but for the most part, if you want to look the part of a stoner here is what you do:

• Shirts: When it comes to shirts you need to consider a couple of layers. First you will want to go with an undershirt. This can vary in color and really any color will do. Many stoners choose to go with a classic white t-shirt and still others go for the gusto and wear a tie-die t-shirt. Whatever t-shirt you choose to go with never tuck it in and top it off with a long sleeved flannel shirt. To pull off the look, be sure that you do not button any of the buttons on the flannel but rather let it just hang open. Don’t forget that you want to go for the look that says you really don’t care what you look like because your life is care-free.

• Pants: Stoners are typically wearing baggy pants. Shorts every once in a while, but for the most part, pants. You can pull off the stoner look with jeans or with cargos, but the looser the better. If your pants happen to have holes wore in the knees or anywhere else on them, well this just adds to the authenticity of the look.

• Shoes: Obviously if you are attempting to dress like a stoner then you will be leaving the wing-tips at home. Here is where you will want to go with a really cozy and worn out looking pair of sneakers. The color really doesn’t matter and you don’t even have to tie the laces if you don’t want to. If that sounds like too much then you can also just wear a pair of flip flops.

• Hair: Once again you want to come off saying that you don’t have a care in the world. That is hard to do if you have a prim and proper hair cut. To pull off the stoner look, simply wash your hair and sort of mess it up after towel drying and then let it air dry.

• Accessories: Very, very low key here. Go with beaded necklaces and simple looking bracelets if you go with anything. Women can carry hemp purses and the look will be all but complete. Also for the women, if you do decide to put make-up on go very light with it and stay away from big bold colors.

Now just practice say ‘whoa’ and ‘dude’ with every other sentence you utter and your look as a stoner will be perfect.

How to Dress Like Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson is an actress who is no stranger to the fashion and glamour that come with a Hollywood lifestyle as she was raised by her mother Goldie Hawn and who she considers to be her father Kurt Russell. At times Hudson’s look is almost hippy like and at other times she resembles the good old California girl that she is. No matter how she is dressed she always looks sophisticated, sexy, and comfortable which is a hard task for many to pull off.

Because she dresses so down to earth her style is often replicated by women everywhere. Much as her mother was, Hudson has a persona that many women can relate to. Here are some ways to help you pull off this ultra comfortable look:

• Ultra Casual: When Hudson is out and about she is often seen in a fun hippy style sundress. Colors should always be bright and happy, like yellow or pink, and darker depressing colors should be avoided. Go for the full length ones that have a vintage look to them and finish them off with a nice pair of sandals.

• Every day look: When Hudson is not turning heads on the red carpet she is often dressed in nothing more than a pair of jeans and an eyelet or crotchet white top. The jeans should be a lighter color of blue and be form fitting but never super tight. Hudson has a fantastic shape, but never seems to flaunt it too much.

• Formal look: When on the red carpet Hudson looks elegant in any of the dresses that she wears. Most of her formal dresses feature an elegant cut and are almost always form-fitting, but once again she never seems to come off like she is showing off her goods. Wearing a nice pair of sophisticated heels goes great to complete the look and modest jewelry as well.

• Accessories: Hudson makes much of her own jewelry at home with the exception of her formal jewelry. You too can get beads and other goodies and have a blast designing your own jewelry such as bracelets and necklaces. She has also been known to wear big sun hats at times and a big pair of sunglasses never hurts either.

• Boots: Kate Hudson is a boot freak. She can be seen in pictures wearing boots with almost anything style of clothing she owns. Her boots are typically a darker color so stick with browns and black when selecting yours.

• Hair and make-up: Perhaps she learned this trick from her mother, but Hudson always goes simple with her hair and make-up yet still comes off looking like a million bucks. She typically wears her hair down so if your hair is long enough just a simple hair style will do the trick. As for make-up she definitely uses some, but once again, she never goes overboard and always comes off looking very natural.

Now just practice your smile and learn to melt hearts with yours the way Hudson does with hers and your Kate Hudson look will be complete.

How to Dress Like Gwen Stefani

Leave a reply

Gwen Stefani was one of the most popular female punk rockers that ever stepped foot on the stage when she was the lead singer for the band No Doubt. Though she now plays mostly new wave music now that she is on her own, she is still continuing to set trends every time she performs. While her style is somewhat eclectic it is definitely not for everyone. Stefani pulls off some outfits that would look horrendous on others and her ultra flat belly helps a lot with the cropped tank tops that she is frequently wearing.

While Stefani looks great dressed as a punk rocker, she also looks equally as good while on the red carpet and has been to many award shows and banquets looking great but still sporting a style that is unique. Here are some ways to pull off the Gwen Stefani look:

• Punk Rocker Look 1: Stefani is famous for her vintage style look here. You can go to a vintage style clothing store and mix and match your way to Stefanidome. Go with a lot of plaids and stripes and don’t let that combination scare you as the right mix looks great. Top off this look with some funky style sunglasses and some costume jewelry making sure to go big on the earrings. For your hair, simply do what Stefani does and pull it back into a pony tail.

• Punk Rocker Look 2: Go totally simplistic like Stefani often did in the band No Doubt and just get some track pants and a cropped tank top with some classic Converse sneakers. This is an ultra easy look to pull off, just make sure that you are going with loud and bright colors for the tank tops like pinks and yellows. Again pull that hair back into a pony tail.

• Punk Rocker Look 3: Get yourself a nice pair of ¾ cargo pants and a really cool rocker tee and finish off the look with high heels. To complete the illusion, add a belly chain and of course put your hair in a pony tail.

• Awards Show Look: Stefani always looks great at special events and award shows but also shocks the crowd with some of the dresses and gowns she shows up in. One of her most famous appearances was when she wore a fitted leopard print dress. This is easily replicated but should be noted that some people just don’t look good in leopard print or anything else that is fitted for that matter. If you can pull of the look, you will need a solid color high heel shoe with a closed toe and here is the exception to the hair rule. Stefani is in a pony tail almost 90 percent of the time she is seen, but when she goes to an awards show, she goes all out in the hair department. Before you go to your important event looking like Stefani, make sure you take some extra time with your hair or see your stylist beforehand.

So get your sassy attitude ready to go and don’t forget to do plenty of sit-ups; you’ll need them to pull off some of the styles that Stefani has made famous.

How to Dress Like Che Guevara

5 Replies

Ernesto “Che” Guevara was born in Argentina in 1928. Though educated as a doctor who received his medical degree in 1951, Che was best known as a Marxist revolutionary and major figure in the Cuban Revolution. He was an integral part of Fidel Castro’s rebel army in his plot to overthrow the Cuban government in the 1950’s. Though reviled by many, Che Guevara’s image and style came to symbolize counterculture and rebellion.

Che Guevara’s image may be controversial, but dressing like him can be a simple matter of pulling together a few items of clothing and accessories. Dressing like Che Guevara can be easy to pull off successfully.

To dress like Che Guevara first you must have the single most recognizable item, a hat. Guevara wore a beret with a star on the front. Guevara in his Viva la Revolution beret is one of his most recognizable images. Though photographed without the hat quite often, it’s the hat that most readily evokes the image of Che Guevara.

The next part of the Che Guevara ensemble is army fatigues. In the days of the Cuban Revolution he was always seen in some form of fatigues or army uniform. Generally olive, these items can be found easily and cheaply at an army surplus store. Be sure to get pants as well as a shirt that buttons with a notched collar. While you’re there take a look for some black military boots to go with the fatigues. Lace up boots that your pants can be tucked into are an ideal choice.

The next thing you need in order to dress like Che Guevara is a beard and longish hair. Guevara wore an unkempt beard. If you don’t have a beard or don’t want to grow one, you can get a costume beard at a costume shop or on the internet. You could also use an eyeliner pencil to draw in the moustache and beard. To go along with the beard he also wore his hair longish and messy. It came down nearly to his chin and looked tousled and uncombed. If your hair doesn’t fit this description you can find a wig at a costume shop. An alternative would be to wear long hair in a ponytail under the beret.

The final element to complete the Che Guevara look is a cigar. Though Guevara famously smoked large Cuban cigars, you could use any variety of cigar that can easily be found at a cigar or smoke shop or perhaps a liquor store. In place of a real cigar a costume or prop cigar could be used.

Che Guevara’s image evokes a sense of revolution and counterculture. He was a controversial image, both loved and hated by many. To dress like him, though possibly a bit risky, is really quite easy and inexpensive and can be done with very few pieces and just a little thought and preparation.

How to Dress Like a Fortune Teller

2 Replies

A fortune teller is someone who foretells your personal future. Typically known to use mystical or supernatural means to do so, most people picture a woman in a dark room peering into a crystal ball to see your future. Fortune tellers are often thought of as beautiful and seductive and can be mysterious and intriguing.

Fortune tellers are known to have a certain style which many people choose to interpret or emulate on occasions such as Halloween or for costume parties. In order to duplicate their style and dress like a fortune teller there are couple of simple things to keep in mind. First and foremost are the layers. From the top to the skirt to the jewelry, layers are essential. Also, wear bright colors and lots of them. Wear lots of purple, red and gold. There are very few fortune teller fashions that include boring beige or simple monochromatic tones.

If you want to dress like a fortune teller your first step is to find a top. The perfect top would be a peasant blouse with puffy sleeves. Bright colors are preferred but white will do. A blouse that ties or has a draw string at the neck or a loose fit with a v-neck is perfect. You can also add a vest over the shirt or even a cape.

The next item is a skirt. A full skirt that comes down to at least mid-calf is ideal, especially if it has many layers and many colors. Around the waist of the skirt you should wear a long scarf or sash that ties on the side and hangs long. If you are a male, wear loose trousers in a dark color.

Next on the list is jewelry. To dress like a fortune teller you need lots of jewelry. Wear big hoop or chandelier earrings, lots of big bead necklaces or long strands of gold chains. Make sure you wear many gold and silver bangle bracelets and wear as many big, chunky rings with sparkly fake gems as you can fit on your fingers.

For your head, the best choice is a scarf. Wear it low on your forehead, just above your eyebrows, and tie it in the back. Use a long scarf so the tied ends hang down your back. If you have long hair wear it down and in lots of curls. If you are a male dressing as a fortune teller, you can wear a scarf or you can choose to wear a turban with a sparkly jewel attached to the front.

Wear lots of makeup to portray the mysterious look of a fortune teller. Do your eyes in dark, smoky colors and wear a matte red lipstick. You can even add a subtle beauty mark on your cheek or above your lip.

Dressing like a fortune teller can be fun and easy. Make sure you wear lots of flowing layers and lots of beautiful colors and you’ll be able to pull off the perfect look.

How to Dress Like Carmen Electra

Carmen Electra’s style is bold and eclectic, and she enjoys experimenting with many different looks. Widely known for her sexy body, Carmen plays up her best assets with fashions that are flirty and fun.

Carmen Electra has worked many years to earn her celebrity status and hone her fashion sense. She started out at the very bottom of the star list, working first as a model, dancer and entertainer. In the early 1990’s she was discovered by Prince, who convinced her to change her name (she was born Tara Leigh Patrick) and record a solo album under his record label. Her singing career was short-lived however, so she next moved to television appearances. It was her appearance in Playboy magazine in 1996 that sparked the rest of her career, including her role as a “Baywatch” babe and numerous movie, magazine and ad appearances.

As a former model and entertainer, Carmen is always fashionable and can be found wearing the hottest designers whether glamming it up on the red carpet or running errands around town. Her sex symbol status allows her to pull off looks that most mere mortal women would never dare.

Dresses. One of the most obvious characteristics of Carmen Electra’s style is her ability to rock any dress. She loves flaunting her toned body with figure-hugging dresses that accentuate her curves, such as a Herve Leger vintage number.

If you’re going for a Carmen Electra look, you should also consider going short. Many of Carmen’s dresses have very short lengths to show off her sculpted legs. She isn’t afraid to slip into unusual fabrics either, and her dress wardrobe includes an impressive array of colors, fabrics and textures. She has fun with metallics, sparkling sequins, bold prints and bright colors.

Recently Carmen has been spotted in a new fashion trend, the maxi dress. This elegant Rebecca Taylor maxi is a great example of the style. The low neckline of the maxi emphasizes Carmen’s considerable cleavage, while offering an elegant draped skirt that’s also super comfortable.

Platform shoes. All those cute dresses Carmen wears scream for fabulous heels, and she definitely knows how to work them. The higher the better for this petite lady, and platform heels (especially those designed by Christian Louboutin) are a favorite choice when she’s on the red carpet. Heels aren’t the only pick for Carmen though. She’s also been known to don vintage sneakers, thongs and gladiator sandals for more casual affairs.

Tracksuits. Like many Hollywood starlets, Carmen likes to slip into comfy and casual tracksuits from Juicy Couture. The cool Juicy graphics on the pants also draw attention to her perfect butt.

Graphic tees. Carmen is often spotted sporting a chic, vintage-inspired graphic tee from a hot designer or one of her favorite bands. This is a look that any budget can afford, so find one you love and rock on!

Physical fitness. Carmen carefully maintains her famous figure with an exercise regimen of strip aerobics and pole dancing (she recently debuted her own line of products for these techniques). If you plan to adopt Carmen’s flirty look, hit the gym to be sure you are tanned, toned and can rock every outfit just like she does.

Anyone who is a fan of food and the Food Network knows who Giada De Laurentiis is. Along with having several shows on the Food Network such as Everyday Italian and Behind the Bash, she is also a frequent guest on CBS’s Today. She has a style that is all her own and is always dressed in fun outfits that are very down to earth. Because she is so down to earth and easy to relate to it makes sense that many women want to dress like her. While many starts are hard to emulate these days, De Laurentiis is not.

De Laurentiis has the rare ability to look dressed up even when she really isn’t. Here is how she does it:

•   Skirts and Dresses: At almost all times you can catch De Laurentiis in a skirt with a very sensible top or a full length dress that is nice but not too nice. She tends to stick to darker colors when it comes to full length dresses and seems to gravitate towards black or blue. Sometimes she will accent the dress with a multicolored jacket that she will leave unbuttoned. When she is wearing a skirt, she usually wears a darker color as well and will wear a dark colored top with it.

•   Formal: Because De Laurentiis likes to wear skirts and dresses she makes an easy transition into the more formal settings. Here you will find her in a nice evening gown and usually anything goes as far as color is concerned. When choosing your formal wear, pick a color that works for you but stick to traditional colors and don’t go with pastels or colors that are too loud, as this is definitely not De Laurentiis style.

•   Casual: While many of the dresses De Laurentiis wears could easily pass for casual she does have a rare casual side that is seen. This consists of little more than jeans and a long sleeved button down shirt. In this regard you can really be as cozy as you want to be.

•   Shoes: This is of course going to depend on what style of De Laurentiis you are going for. With her every day look she usually wears a dark colored pair of heels. When you get your heels, don’t go too high, but don’t choose flats either. Going formal will require you to go with a closed-toe heel that matches the gown and try to stick to one solid color here. As for the formal look, anything goes. She has been spotted in sneakers and heels and even boots.

•   Accessories: De Laurentiis is very sensible when it comes to her accessories. All that she usually wears is a watch, her wedding band, and a very thing gold necklace. When choosing your watch and necklace, go for subtle and avoid big and gaudy. As for the wedding band, that is all up to you.

How to Dress like an EMT for Halloween

1 Reply

Probably one of the easiest costumes to pull off for Halloween is that of an Emergency Medical Technician, or EMT for short. You know these guys and gals, they are the ones that ride in the back of an ambulance and are the first response to medical emergencies and then transport the victims to the hospital if need be. Because they are just everyday people in a special uniform there is nothing really super fancy that needs to be purchased in order to create a great looking costume.

Follow these instructions to ensure that you have the best looking EMT costume this Halloween:

• Shirt: When selecting your shirt for your EMT costume go with a short sleeve white button down shirt. This is the style most commonly worn by EMTs. If white is not available you can also go with a lighter color blue, like baby blue. Try to stay with short sleeves unless only long sleeves are available. If the shirt is at all uncomfortable on your skin, wear a white short sleeved undershirt before you put on the button down. The shirt should of course be tucked into the pants you wear as an EMT is a very professional looking occupation.

• Pants: An EMT’s pants are dressy looking slacks that are Navy Blue in color. If you can’t find Navy Blue, then go with black, but never go with a light color. Don’t go with actual dress pants, but rather a brand like Dickies or even Dockers. These types of pants are more geared towards individuals that have to look good in their line of work but still need a rugged pair of pants. Top the pants off with a black belt that is not flashy whatsoever.

• Shoes: For shoes, go with a black pair of lace up shoes that have a thick rubber soled bottom. Stay with low tops as EMT’s rarely wear high tops. For socks wear whatever is most comfortable for you and color really doesn’t matter.

• Accessories: Here is where you need to get just a bit creative. There are many places online that you can order a few EMT iron-on patches from and added these to your costume will certainly add to the authenticity of it. Some EMTs have been known to wear a stethoscope around their neck so that makes for a good prop if you can find one. You can also get a walkie-talkie hand held radio to carry with you and simply clip it to you belt. If you really want the authentic look wear a pair of latex gloves so it looks as though you are getting ready to go to work.

• Crisp look: Before you put on your costume make sure that you have ironed your shirt and your pants. Use starch so that you can create nice crisp creases. Looking ultra crisp is essential to pulling of the EMT look.

Now you are ready to go to your Halloween event dressed to the nines like a professional EMT. Just remember, you only look like an EMT, you really aren’t one.

How to Dress Like a Zombie School Girl

1 Reply

Dressing like a zombie school girl is an interesting variation of the original school girl costume that so many women love to do. Countless women dress as a Catholic school girl every year for Halloween, so why not give your costume a scary twist this year and ensure that you will not be one of dozens with the same costume? By adding an undead aspect, you will create a unique outfit that turns heads and stands out at the parties. This is Halloween after all – the purpose is to be as frightening as possible!
Zombie school girl costume items are the same as a regular school girl outfit. Everything you need is listed below.

•   short plaid, pleated skirt
•   white knee-high hosiery
•   Mary Jane shoes with heels
•   tight white button down shirt (short sleeved)
•   zombie makeup kit
•   scissors
•   hairspray

The key to pulling together the zombie school girl costume is combining sexiness with death. Be sure that your skirt is very short, and your white shirt is very tight. Wear a push up bra and unbutton the shirt to show off your sexy cleavage. Pair the knee-high hosiery with the Mary Janes, and the sexy part of your costume is complete. Now time to be undead.

To pull off the zombie look, you must shred your clothes. This shows that you really were attacked by hungry zombies wanting to eat your brain. Use the scissors to create gashes and fringes on your clothing. You can rip off pieces as well so it won’t look so clean cut. You will also need to be dirty, so the best way to do this is to roll around a patch of dirt in your front lawn.

No zombie would be complete without that ghostly pallor. Find a zombie makeup kit at any costume shop to create the look you need. First, cover your face and neck with white face paint so that you look drained of color. Next, wear black or greenish eye shadow and extend the color underneath your eyes to intensify that bruised and shadowy look.

Fake wounds are zombie necessities. You can buy fake skin at costume shops and apply it to your arms and neck to look like deep gashes. You will also need to buy fake blood. The best way to wear this is to apply around your mouth then allow it to drip down to your neck. As soon as it dries, it won’t budge all night, even after all of your feedings. Be sure to smear some blood on various areas of your clothing too. This is a violent and bloody lifestyle after all. Makeup is a really fun way to really bring this outfit to life – or death, if you will.

To polish off the look, you will need zombie hair. To achieve this style, simply tease endlessly until you have a stringy and messy pouf and hairspray to hold. Throw a few twigs and leaves in for good measure and extra authenticity. Now you are ready for the night!
Being a zombie school girl allows you to step out of your personality and become something else for an evening. When you let your imagination take over, you have the ability to create an original and terrifying costume.

How to Dress like Gene Simmons

Leave a reply

Since the 1970’s the rock band Kiss has sold out the biggest venues around the world. Their style of rock and roll constantly pushed the envelope and continues to influence much of the music you hear today. Probably the most popular member of the band is Gene Simmons. Simmons is the one that was famous for sticking his extra long tongue out pretty much every chance he got.

When it comes to dressing like Simmons you could always go full out and get the outfit he wore on stage but you will really only be capturing his stage presence and not the real Simmons, though it is close. Besides to dress like him on stage you will have to put on lots of make-up and that may or may not go over so well.

When you think about dressing like Gene Simmons two words should come to your mind; casual and black. Even when he is at a special event or an awards show he looks as relaxed as can be. Here’s a sure way to emulate his rocker look:

• Shirts: Simmons is very rarely seen wearing anything other than black shirts. When you choose your shirt you should not only make sure that it is black but that it is long sleeved as well. A nice button down shirt with the first three or four buttons undone usually does the trick.

• Jackets: Sometimes Simmons can be seen wearing a black sports jacket, but more times than not you will see him in his familiar black leather jacket. Whatever you decide to go with, make sure that you leave it open as this adds to the Gene Simmons illusion.

• Pants: This is your best chance for a little variety. Simmons can often be seen in jeans, dress slacks, and of course leather pants. The jeans can be any color from light blue to black, but stick to black only for the dress pants and the leather pants as he never wears any other color in those departments.

• Shoes: To no surprise, Simmons wears black shoes. His foot attire consists of comfortable sneakers all the way to leather boots, but any way you decide to go, go with black.

• Shades: This is the piece that ties the entire outfit together. Gene Simmons always wears his sunglasses even at night time and it is rare indeed to catch a glimpse of his eyes. When you pick out your sunglasses, make sure to choose ones that are known as wrap around. All this really means is that the sunglasses will be a bit bigger than normal. If you choose sunglasses that are too small it simply won’t fit the outfit.

• Accessories: To complete the look get yourself a few rings to put on various fingers. Never go with gold as Simmons usually wears rings that are metallic colored or black.

As far as the tongue goes that is a mystery. If you weren’t born with an extra long tongue then use what you were given and make sure to stick it out as often as you can.

How To Have Your Wife or Girlfriend to Dress Like A Football Fan

Leave a reply

It happens every Sunday from September through January. Men are glued to their TV sets while their wives complain; often misunderstanding the joy their husbands derive from the drama that unfolds on the screen. Why don’t women partake in their husband’s exuberance for football? Most say they just don’t understand the game, don’t see the point, and believe their men should be doing something else with their time. Men dream of a wife that will bond with them through football, as this usually means they’ll get to watch more of it.

There have been a lot of ways that men have tried to get their uninterested wives to like football. The most common approach is reminding her of the time they’re spending together while watching the games. Recently men have come up with a different strategy. Knowing that women like to dress and shop, men believe that if their wives dress the part they’ll eventually feel the part. So buying her some team merchandise, they believe, might be the way to get started.

The first step is where to go to shop? Women are naturally unlikely to shop at places where team jerseys are sold. Macy’s and the GAP aren’t going to sell Pittsburgh Steelers team paraphernalia. So accompany your wife to a local sports clothing store. This will be unfamiliar territory for her so have patience.

What will she need to wear so that she won’t embarrass you in front of your fellow fans?

1) Jersey. This is probably the most critical piece of clothing. It’s a representation of your fan-dom. Keep it simple. Purchase a jersey that only has the team’s name on it. In other words, if possible, avoid player names or numbers. Your wife won’t feel a connection to a player she doesn’t know anyway. Names can also be controversial, particularly if the player in question has had legal issues. It won’t help your cause if drunken fans yell at your wife if she has the name Vick on the back of her jersey.

2) Shoes. Sneakers are the name of the game. Go with name brands like Nike that she’ll recognize. Under no circumstances are boots or heels allowed.

3) Jeans. This is where you can give your wife some leeway of choice. Let her pick the jeans that she feels will best match the jersey colors she’s purchased. She’ll feel a sense of involvement and you can even let her shop for the jeans at the GAP.

4) Accessories. These include gloves or mittens and a scarf. The scarf can be a team-color scarf. The mittens just must be warm if you plan on going to the games in the stadium in winter.

What not to wear? This is simple. A wife in the beginning stages of dressing like a football fan should avoid face paint or wigs. In the future she can sparingly decorate herself if she becomes more of a fan.

Basically, your wife will like the idea of dressing with you in support of your team. She’ll be happy you’ve thought of her and will reward you with unlimited TV time watching the games. And if you’ve done your job she’ll even watch with you.

How to Dress Like Pam Beasley from The Office

One of the most popular television shows in the last couple of years is The Office. Pam Beesly, played by actress Jenna Fischer, is one of the main characters on the show. Pam is the frustrated receptionist-turned-salesperson at the fictional paper company Dunder Mifflin. Pam is engaged to her coworker, Jim Halpert, a salesman at Dunder Mifflin. She is often the calm voice of reason in a workplace filled with drama. She is an understated, yet pivotal character on the show.

Pam is one of the most popular characters on The Office. Her simple attire and modest style help to show that though she appears unassuming, she’s actually a complex individual. Dressing like Pam from The Office is really simple for that reason. Just follow a few simple steps to get the look.

Pam’s office wear is very basic. You can start with a simple cotton button down shirt. Try for a simple pattern or a solid color. Make sure the shirt fits properly. Pam does not wear loose or baggy clothes. She seems understated but has a great figure and her clothes work to show that off in a very subtle way. You can find something like this at most women’s clothing stores or department stores such as Kohl’s or Macy’s.

On top of the shirt you can add a simple, cute cardigan. Pam often wears a cardigan in colors like soft pink or gray. In the winter you can wear a cozy turtleneck sweater instead of a cardigan. Add a Christmas brooch during the holiday season to add some extra Pam style to the outfit.

The next thing you need to dress like Pam from The Office is a modest skirt. Go for a basic color like gray or black. Make sure it fits! The skirt should come down to just below your knee. A pencil skirt would be perfect and can be found in most department stores.

Pam always wears pantyhose! It’s probably in the Dunder Mifflin dress code. So make sure you wear nude panty hose. Pair the hose with some sensible, basic dress shoes and you’ve almost completed the look.

One of Pam’s defining style elements is her hair. It’s basic medium brown and almost always worn in a half-up style. To get this look simply pull back your hair on both sides, leaving the back down and long, and put in a clip or barrette in the back to secure it. Leave the bangs long and out of the clip but tucked behind your ear. Don’t style the hair too much before pinning it up as Pam’s hair generally looks a little wavy and under styled.

Pam Beesly is a classic character with a super simple style that’s easy to duplicate with only a few simple pieces. Put them together in the right pairings and you can pull it off in no time! It’s easy to dress like Pam Beesly with the right outfit.

How to Dress Like a Communist

2 Replies

Communism, according to the Merriam Webster dictionary, is a totalitarian system of government in which there is a single authoritarian power. The word “communist” conjures up many images from Karl Marx to Stalin to modern day North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il. Though communism dates back as far as the 16th century, it’s communist leaders in the last one hundred years that come to mind with the word communist.

Communism is a controversial political idea but can be a fun and interesting dress style to try to emulate. Dressing like a communist takes some thought and planning but can be done with some simple clothing and hair.

There are many communists that one can try to imitate, though there is also just a general sense of style that one can copy to pull off the look as well. For this you just need a few basic things in order to dress like a communist.

One option is to find a plain military type uniform, either in olive, black or navy. A button shirt with a notched collar and matching pants will do the trick. Add a leather belt either around the waist of the pants or over the jacket around your waist to complete the look. Make sure you also wear military boots with this outfit and a matching hat with a brim or a military beret. All of these items can be found at a costume shop or at an army surplus store. You could also search the internet for these articles.

Another option when dressing like a communist is to try to reproduce the image of the communist leaders. With this look you would need a more formal coat or jacket with matching pants. This can either be something akin to a suit or a more formal version of a military uniform. As long as it’s plain and generic without military insignias, any of these will do the trick. Wearing a belt outside the jacket, high around the waist would work great with the formal look. Adding an overcoat or trench coat to either the simple or the formal outfit would help to complete the costume.

Many communists and communist leaders were known to have facial hair. Adding a moustache and/or a beard would really add to the look. And for your hair you could go with a wild unkempt look or a more subdued, slicked back look.

A common symbol of communism is a red star with a yellow hammer and sickle in the middle. Adding one of these to your outfit would make it look quite authentic, though could also add even more controversy to you costume.

The image of a communist evokes a sense of revolution and counterculture. To dress like a communist could be quite controversial but could also be challenging and fun to try to imitate the look. Dressing like a communist takes a little shopping, thought and preparation but can be an easy style to duplicate.

How to Dress Like MC Hammer

Leave a reply

Back in the late 1980’s MC Hammer gave the rap world such familiar hits as To Legit to Quit and You Can’t Touch This. He was so popular at one point in time that it seemed impossible to turn on the radio without hearing one of his songs every hour. Even though his music is no longer all the rage, his whacky style of dressing still is. The way he dressed when he preformed was almost as entertaining as the songs that he sang.

If you want to dress like MC Hammer you have to be prepared to be stared at quite a bit. That was after all Hammers’ main focus, to draw attention to himself. Here are some ways to dress like MC Hammer:

• Parachute pants: This is MC Hammer’s trademark. No matter what else he wore while he was performing, both he and all the dancers that were on the stage with him wore parachute pants. Parachute pants are typically tight on the ankles and waist and are loose and parachute looking in the legs. Hammer took his parachute pants so seriously that he actually had his custom made. You don’t need to go this far though as a vintage store will probably have some pants that will do the trick.

• Jackets: There are no rules here except that you should go for something that clashes horribly with the pants. Hammer always seemed to have fun mixing and matching his jackets with his parachute pants. The jacket you choose should also be form fitting and if you have a physique like Hammer did then you can go shirtless like Hammer did. If you are not comfortable going shirtless, have some more fun finding a clashing t-shirt to wear under your jacket.

• Flat soled boots: Hammer was always dancing when he performed and for this reason he had to wear boots with a flat sole. The boots almost always matched the pants in color and clashed horrifically with the entire ensemble. A good trick here is to find an old pair of boxing boots at a thrift store and spray paint them and add some glitter and or sequins to them. Now you have an affordable pair of Hammer boots.

• Accessories: Hammer loved to be flashy with his accessories. Duplicate his flare by wearing big sunglasses that match your pants, but never your jacket and make sure to get plenty of thick gold chains that sport all sorts of medallions.

• Hair: The last thing that will tie the entire MC Hammer look together is the hair. Hammer was famous for his fade. To get the Hammer fade, start tight and short on the sides of your hair and gradually fade up your hair so the end result looks like you have a flat head. Top it off with shaving a few lines in the side of your head and you are set.

While we all may laugh at how MC Hammer dressed, you have to admit he was a pretty good dancer considering the wardrobe he had on.
