Now suggestions needed for LL who was invited to a dress up party by her brother (he is going as Hercules and his GF is going as Esmeralda from Hunch back of Notre Dam)LL is thinking Morgan Le Frey,Red Riding Hood ( I like that one) Or Frankensteins Bride lol which we said NOOO to.
The theme is makebelieve character Thoughts?

What utterly awesome outfits, I know so many parents who struggle with this concept. First thing that came to mind was Puff the Magic Dragon, for a suggestion.

Oh my don't you make the freakin best costumes known to Austrailia!

-That Rainbow brite costume is just the sweetest freaking thing. I used to carry around my Rainbow Brite doll everywhere. I actually have a Patty O'green doll next to me... *shhh* don't tell. HAHAHA

-I just figured Peter pan was missing his teeth cause he got in a fight with Captian Hook! Great Costume!

-Miss 8 makes a very convincing Jasmine. And this costume is just as great as the others. I love her hair!

-Nanny Mcfee!! Using a fake nail as a tooth is a wonderous idea I would have never thought of. I would have used a chiclet and ended up eating halfway through. *heheh* The hat looks amazing nelly it really does look just like the character.

I have always wanted to be pocahontas and walk around with a racoon stuffed toy. lol

They are all fantastic! My fave is Nanny McPhee - that costume is just brilliant.

Oh so cute! Nanny McPhee especially is brilliant - although she is far too pretty to be dressed up like that!
