Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Here a couple of videos to celebrate this festive day. First we have Rhett and Link dancing for tacos at a party in San Diego. These guys are awesome.
I also really like this “World’s Largest Woman” costume — spotted at the Dallas Zoo last year. What an amazing costume!
I hope everyone has a wonderful, festive day!
I want to wish everyone a happy Earth Day! And so do Paul Rudd and the Sesame Street gang…. You gotta love the Planet Earth costume!
The Easter Bunny. He’s cute, fluffy and loveable… or is he? The above video by MSN takes a look at the creepier side of Peter Cottontail.
Not unlike clowns, sometimes the Easter Bunny can rub people the wrong way. Here’s a fun look at some creepy and evil bunnies — just in time for Easter!
HAPPY EASTER!
It’s a printable Instant Disguise Kit. How handy!
This was put together by Design House Digital for April Fool’s Day. If you click on the picture, a printable PDF will open.
I think the “Hello, my name is….” sticker is a nice touch. Very fun.
Thanks to Camille for the tip!

I was browsing the new costumes at Costume Craze (a fun way to pass the time, btw) and this unusual costume caught my eye.
A hamentaschen costume? I never thought I’d see that! Yes, now kids around the world can dress up as a Jewish pastry!
Growing up as kid in Philadelphia, my kind Jewish neighbors gave me lots of hamentaschen, and taught me how to make them. They are delicious! I think it’s rather funny that they’ve made it a commercial costume.
In case you’re wondering how to make hamentaschen, here is the recipe:
• 2/3 cup butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 cup white flour
• 1 cup wheat flour
• Filling (poppy seed, prune or preserves)Blend butter and sugar. Add the egg and blend. Add juice and blend. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, alternating white and wheat. Blend. Refrigerate batter three hours. Roll thin. Cut out 3 or 4 inch circles. Put a tablespoon of filling in the middle of each circle. Fold up the sides to make a triangle, overlapping the sides as much as possible so only a little filling shows through the middle. Squeeze the corners tightly. Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.

I thought you might enjoy this odd video, it’s pretty nutty. It appears to be a leprechaun riding an ostrich costume? You can’t make this stuff up!
Very strange, and I like it. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day — you can win a Beer Pouch Hoodie from Fashionably Geek! Head on over to their site for contest details.
They’ve teamed up with Vat19, the brilliant makers of this sweatshirt. The pouch is elastic and fits cans and bottles of water, too. And small kittens, I’d imagine. What a fun idea!
The Beer Pouch Hoodie features a 30 square inch pouch with elastic band and an insulating liner to keep your beer ice cold. The pouch can stretch to accommodate soda cans, bottled water, and even cans of soup and bottles of whipped cream.
Bottles of whipped cream? I probably shouldn’t ask….

PARATY, Brazil (Reuters) – Near one of Brazil’s most traditional colonial towns, a bizarre Carnival craze erupts each year — a “parade” in which the only costume required is layers of thick, dark, sticky mud.
Mud costumes? Sounds fun to me! This photo was taken on Feb. 13, 2010 during the Bloco da Lama carnival parade in Paraty, Brazil.
