halloween costume shop AKA Doctor Who Experience: Cardiff

With Halloween now exactly 180 days away, you would think there would be plenty of time to start thinking of a costume, but in reality, thinking of a clever, memorable and comfortable Halloween costume is almost a year long exercise with several idea batted (no pun intended, I assure you) around at our house and rejected as too obscure, done before or too impractical. Finding just the right adult halloween costumes can be a bit of an exercise, albeit a fun one, particularly when the stakes get higher each year. Of course it helps to have a well known party to go to - one that seems to have the lock on the distinction of being the top Google hit for such events.

And so it was after a recent trip to Cardiff (Wales) which included a atop at the 'Doctor Who Experience' - try to visualize of it as a Hard Rock Cafe for the hit BBC Science Fiction show crowd - one idea that quickly came to mind was to go as Astrid Peth (Kylie Minogue in essentially a French Maid's outfit - have to love the idea of that casting meeting!) and the Angel-Robot 'Host.'

Neither of us is of this date totally sold on this idea, besides, sometimes the last minute drives some of the best creativity! One thing I am sure of is that when it comes to costumes, one site that will be on my shopping bookmarks will be: , especially since right now they are running a special secret HAUNTED HOUSE backdoor to save save you money. Hint: Go to the homepage halfway down on the right and click on the brown comma in the line that reads “Our Store now has over 8,000 masquerade items for you to choose from!”

Halloween does not have to be expensive but it should be fun - and with the right costume and a party to go to it can be! Saving money while doing so? Well, that's just another Halloween Treat!
