Io9.com put together a wonderful gallery of old costumes. They call it “cosplay on acid,” lol, so true!
It seems like back then, every costume had the character printed on the shirt. I guess they did that because the costumes were so bad, it was the only way to tell what you’re supposed to be.
Hilarious!

Take a look at this super old school Chewbacca costume from 1977.
Why is Chewbacca’s head printed on the stomach? It has a mask, so now Chewbacca looks like he has two heads.
Weird!
ThatCostumeGirl goes back to the ’80s! How cute. She put together a styling retro ensemble and made a fun dancing video.
Nice moves, TCG!
The clothing part went pretty well. I wore an old stretched pink sweater over a bright yellow graphic tee. I put on some lace edged black leggings and scrunch socks. I finished the look with green fingerless gloves. My Adidas are in my trunk because I forgot to get them out, oh well. For the makeup I smeared on some blue eyeshadow and pink lipgloss. Simple. The hair is sectioned with a couple of star shaped ponytail holders. Fun. Fun. Fun.

Look at their cool outfits! LOL, these guys are going to town.
This video is from a 1987 Aerobics Championship. The ’80s sure were a special time for us.

When a clever Photoshopper adds our favorite costumed superheroes (and one famous villain) to old World War II photos – it makes for some very interesting concept art.
These are great! I think my favorite is the Batman photo, with Darth Vader and Stalin coming in at a close second.

Sigh, the 1970’s were such a special time for us.
For example, take this space dance video, staring Raquel Welch. She sports a very sexy space costume! I like her space men backup dancers, too.
LOL, this is an excerpt from Raquel Welch’s 1970 TV special. Good times.
Mothers, guard your daughters. These men are on the prowl and they’re impossible to resist.
LOL, this video is hilarious! It’s one of the best collection of mullets and fine fashion that I’ve seen in a long time. I hope they found true love. Or, a good therapist. I’m not sure what’s up with Fred the Viking, but he strikes me as the clear winner.

Family – the most important thing in the world. And what better way to celebrate your family than by taking group costume photos!
Check out these great pics of families being awesome.
Okay, these last two photos aren’t really costume-related, but they’re so strange and funny that I wanted to include them anyway.

I guess I’ve been living under a rock, because I only now just found out about Riese the Series, a super cool new steampunk show coming soon to Internets near you!
The story centers around Riese, a mysterious traveller being chased by assassins. Here’s an excerpt from the official website:
Riese, a seemingly random wanderer, is being hunted by a terrifying religious cult, The Sect. Traveling from nation to nation for years, she is accompanied only by a wolf, Fenrir. Together they must evade the assassins sent by the Sect – who’ll stop at nothing to complete the task they failed to achieve many years ago.
Her past is shrouded in mystery, as even Riese can’t recall the events of the tragic night when her entire family was slaughtered and she was forced to flee into the wilderness.
“Riese”, a unique and original steampunk-inspired web production shoots this August using the cutting-edge technology of the Red One camera system and slated for an Autumn launch.
I can’t wait to watch this! Sounds like a great combination of steampunk, fantasy, mystery and action. Ohhhh yes.
For some great insight into the production, be sure to watch the behind-the-scenes videos, and checkout these aweseome promo stills and concept artwork. Episodes should start airing this October.

Someone emailed in a request, asking for photos of cheerleader costumes. Heh, I can’t tell if the person was joking, or what – but I decided to torture you all. Hope this song doesn’t get stuck in your head for too long. 
How does that saying go? Be careful what you wish for….
A new line of Michael Jackson costumes has come out – originally planned to promote Michael Jackson’s big comeback this year.
Now that the King of Pop has passed away, there’s no doubt these costumes will completely dominate the Halloween season this year.
And they actually look really good. Most of these are in the $100-$200 price range, which means these are high quality costumes, and not the cheap disposable kind you can buy from Wal-Mart.
