Steampunk Inspired Fashion informs Costumes for 2011

When you're an event planner, you can't think about things too ahead of time. We begin our Christmas planning in August and our Halloween planning in June. Why? A lot of reasons...for one, it's just the way we do things. For two.. well, if you've noticed, everything is way cheaper if you plan ahead. When you're buying in bulk or just for yourself, costumes prices go up like crazy in the Fall. But what if you're not a planner? Then you're in luck, because we've done some homework for you! Presenting the hottest, the weirdest, the scariest and the most creative costume for 2011:

Trending now: Perhaps you're a pop culture fiend who's not down with weird zombie costumes. Lucky for your, the last few years (as well as the last 20 years) have brought forth some seriously cool icons for you to dress up as--while still maintaining your street cred.
Here are DJS Events top never-fail super cool costumes (you can't go wrong with these):
Numero Uno: Wonderwoman, Catwoman, Batman (we had to have one guy option) and Silk Spectre 


Even Kim Kardashian has a take on it.

You can't go wrong with classic comic book characters, especially if you've got the body to pull it off. What would be a perfect complement to Wonderwoman? Superman, of course. However, we hear that most guys aren't actually down with the whole blue tights, red undies thing, so we're putting Batman down as one of the coolest classic costumes for guys.




Yeah, Batman is pretty hot.
You know what else is hot? Catwoman. Catwoman costumes are awesome for those of us who want to be sexy but can't stand those barely there cutsey costumes that show a lot of cleavage and leg.
 
What if you do want some cleave? There's actually some costumes out there that'll do a more skin-bearing catwoman.


Another one we love is Silk Spectre from the Watchmen. We love this redheaded lady and think the costume is fabulous:
 

Wanna be a kick-ass woman...but not into the superhero thing? Lara Croft is a bit played out. What's in?
Here's some unique options: Category Three: Be Unexpected.
 Steampunk inspired. Steampunk is a hot new fashion trend highlighted by neo-punk and Victorian fashions. Check it out:

Category Four: Freaky Costumes: Zombies, Vampires, Oh My!
Ok, so these costumes are scary and weird, let's just be honest about that. If you want to scare people, then go this route. DJS Events refuses to take any responsibility for heart attacks that may happen due to your costume, so proceed with caution.
Zombies. We get the freak-appeal, but don't go this route if you want to be sexy in any remote way.
