Seasonal Spring Costumes
After a long, cold winter the weather is warming up and bringing a new season of opportunities to dress up in costumes. Unlike Halloween costumes and Christmas costumes, spring costumes are inspired by the colors and events of March, April and May. There are many special occasions during this time of year that may call for a costume. Whether you’re hopping down the rabbit trail or dancing around the maypole, don’t forget to dress up in a pleasingly pastel costume.
Easter: While Easter is a religious Christian holiday, it is also celebrated with egg hunts and the Easter Bunny. March and April are the most popular months for Easter Bunny suits, and a must-have if you’re having children over. The typical Easter Bunny costume features a big, white, furry rabbit suit usually accented with a pasted vest and bow tie. For those looking to stick to the religious observance, a Jesus costume is an appropriate choice.
May Day: May Day falls on the first day of May and originally began as a festivity to mark the end of the unfarmable winter and beginning of new growth. While not widely celebrated today, dancing around the maypole and secretly leaving May baskets filled with flowers on doorsteps are all traditions. A May Day costume might be a light, airy dress with a Celtic influence along with a garland of flowers worn in the hair.
Garden Parties: As all the flowers begin to bloom, garden parties are a fun way to enjoy the company of friends and the beautiful flora. Make your garden tea even more memorable by having guests show up in inspired-by-spring costumes such as flowers, fruits and vegetables, ladybugs, bumblebees and other items found in the garden. For a fantasy approach, garden nymph and fairy costumes will bring an ethereal and other-world feel to your event. Dog lovers can even get their furry friends in on the fun of spring flower costumes.
Tooth Fairy Day Today
February 28th is certainly a day to smile about, so show those pearly whites (or lack thereof)! It’s National Tooth Fairy Day, a time to honor the beloved nighttime visitor of children all over the world. Losing baby teeth is a time of excitement and also anxiety; the character of the Tooth Fairy helps to allay any fears a little one might have with the promise of money or a little present left under the pillow at night in exchange for the tooth.
There is much debate about whether the Tooth Fairy is a man or a woman, but does it really matter as long as the tutu fits?! We like to think that the Tooth Fairy is exactly what you imagine, be that delicate little pixie or someone that is a little more, err, substantial in his style. And that brings us to the “Rock” and his muscle-enhanced portrayal of this magical being of teeth. In this kid’s movie, released January 22, 2010,, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson plays a tough hockey player who is fulfilling a 1 week punishment for misconduct by serving as the tooth fairy. Wearing the stereotypical Tooth Fairy costume complete with tutu, wings and a magical wand, Johnson puts a clumsy yet comedic spin on the everyday duties of the Tooth Fairy. The motto of the movies is “The tooth hurts”, but we don’t want to be a spoiler, so you’ll have to find out what happens by taking your kids to the movie!
There are lots of fittingly funny Tooth Fairy costumes for men and women alike, most look like white ballerina outfits sometimes embellished with a big satiny molar on the bodice. Add some great accessories from Costume Machine to your Tooth Fairy costume and become the fluttering ambassador of baby teeth adored by kiddos everywhere. Wear sneakers or high heels (whatever your preference), and add a pair of pliers around your neck along with some dollars for rewarding children’s lost teeth.
