Power, seduction, deceit, and gold eyeshadow. This is the legend left behind by the timeless queen, Cleopatra. She ruled Egypt and influenced Rome. She took down anyone that got too jealous of her natural born power. People still talk of her dramatic love affairs and her awesome eyeliner game, and we should. Hollywood drama has nothing on this Memphis powerhouse.What would happen if Cleopatra were alive today? We don’t think she’d be super impressed with the rich and powerful people of the world. Sure, they didn’t have cars back in the day but is that really an upgrade. We’ve given up fancy horses and golden chariots, not to mention golden boats floating down the Nile. Have you ever seen those Egyptian horses with fancy feathered headdresses? Yeah, a Mercedes Benz can’t beat that, at least when it comes to making an entrance. Cleopatra was really good at making an entrance. Have you ever been introduced to an official Roman dignitary after rolling out of a carpet? If you have you’ve beaten us and everyone we know in the interesting person game.If you’re ready to get in touch with your all-powerful ruler side than this Cleopatra costume can help you out. The dress is perfect for those hot nights on the Nile with light weight floor-length golden fabric. The collar is stately with black and gold stripes. No one is going to doubt your authority with this black panel and gold hieroglyphics and a crystal belt over top that matches the crystal and gold headpiece. You’re sure to make that legendary entrance with the golden cuffed sheer cape. If you want to roll yourself in a carpet and get yourself delivered to the party, that would be epic. Just remember to stay hydrated and pack some snacks!

Notable NobilityWhen most people want to dress up like royalty, they probably automatically think of a prince or princess costume first. Usually, in romantic tales, you’re trying to win the heart of a prince or princess so you can become one yourself. However, we don’t always see the appeal in having to wait in line for the throne. Why not skip right to the front and become the monarch yourself? If you’re interested in holding a little more power than a princess, why not be a queen instead? And while dressing like fictional or historical royals can be fun, their outfits are often a little outdated. If you’re looking to flaunt your noble station with some modern style, we have just the thing!Design & DetailsThroughout her early life, Queen Elizabeth II was a style icon. In her later decades, that hasn’t changed, although her fashion sense has. While she was very fond of stylish dresses in years past, now she’s more known for her bold, bright skirt suits. And she almost always has a hat to match. We wanted to make a hat for the modern queen, so we chose to imitate one of her fuchsia choices. This soft, bright pink hat features red feathers on the front for a bold color combination. We hope you’ll feel like royalty in this daring hat!
There's gold in them thar hills!It’s been countless years since you turned your back on civilization to go make your fortune. Your beard is down to your knees, your shirt has more holes than a wheel of Swiss cheese, and you’ve had it up to here with wrestling bears. But you just know that the oil is out there somewhere. You wipe your brow as you look up to the unforgiving desert sun, hike up your pants, and give your pickaxe one more swing before calling it a day.A brief calm melts before the ground below you begins to swell and rumble. Thin ebony rivulets start to puddle at your feet. This is the moment you’ve waited for. You bound out of your hole just in the nick of time as the earth beneath erupts into a geyser of black gold. Texas tea. Oil, that is. You sprint to the nearest town to stake your claim, and in only a few months you’re tanning beside the pool at your seaside mansion. Not bad for someone who dropped out of 1st grade, right?Design & DetailsOur Prospector Costume will let you live out this roughneck vision of the American dream, back when fortunes were made in the real wilderness rather than the concrete jungle. After wearing this once you may just contemplate trading in your minivan for a burro and setting off for the Sierra Madre. What could be better than that? Bears aside, of course. So many bears.

An Electric IdeaThere are many mysteries in the world that simply demand being solved, and we get to be thankful that Ben Franklin was around to help in figuring out a pretty big chunk of them. Now, most know Ben for 'inventing' electricity. And, of course, he didn't create it... but he did come up with all the terms that we're still using today. Who else would have thought to combine the value of a lightning rod with the fun of flying kites and shocking yourself!? But, is that truly his ultimate offering to the world?Consider the shorter folks in the world. Who has the energy to grab a stepping stool every time that you want to get a book? "Nobody!" was the proud answer of our favorite founding father. He knew that folks would one day need a Selfie Stick and that short people everywhere deserved assistance with a longer arm. So, it was to the inventing desk for Ben! In honor of those inventions, our Made by Us team did the same for him. Design & DetailsHop back to the colonial days in the best way possible with this Benjamin Franklin costume. Our in-house team created this design to look authentic while still feeling comfy.

He's got the powerBenjamin Franklin was a superhero of his time. It might be true that he had a receding hairline instead of rippling abs but he made more of an impact on the United States and France than Batman has ever made on Gotham. Just think about his accomplishments! He worked with France to establish freedom from the Brits in the colonies. He wrote anti-slavery treatise so that all of America's people would eventually be free. And let's not forget all of the people he saved by inventing the lightning rod. We know that preventing natural disasters won't sell as many movie tickets as fighting villains in the street but we think Ben's multitude of skill makes him a superb hero, indeed. Product DetailsTransform into this revolutionary hero for your next costumed event with this Benjamin Franklin wig! You don't even need to fly a kite in a thunderstorm. Benny's instantly recognizable receding hairline is depicted in the wrinkled skin-like texture of the forehead. His gray hairs wave back into a do that hint at the wisdom of your years!Let's be FranklinYou might think that dressing as a founding father sounds a little dusty and uneventful. You'd be wrong.

High Class Hijinks Have you ever rolled out of bed and thought to yourself, "I don't want to answer texts and make to-do lists today. I want to watch horse races, go for promenades, and attend balls at fancy pillared houses while wearing my fanciest hat and drinking all the mint juleps I want"? Honestly, same.

Those mint juleps are still calling your name! Product DetailsYou'll be ready to make your debut as a fine Southern lady in this exclusive Plus Size Women's Southern Belle Costume!

Each of the skirt's three tiers is trimmed in velvet ribbon and wide bands of machine lace. A built-in petticoat adds extra volume. Bless Your Heart Southern debutantes were smart. They ran businesses and farms, and organized plenty of social events, but had a ready-made excuse for anything they didn't want to do. "Someone needs to take out the trash? Sorry, I can't. I'm wearing *this.*" (Points to skirt.) Plus, they actively enforced comfortable social distancing with the sheer circumference of their dresses. No one can invade your personal bubble if your hoopskirts are in the way!
How does a post-apocalyptic coachman travel to his next steam engine convention? Why, in top-notch steampunk style, of course!We have to admit, we do not always fully “get” the steampunk aesthetic.

So if you want to make your ensemble speak volumes about your favorite trend, this durable Brown Suede Coachman Hat will be a huge help!

Got Any More of that Pigeon Pie?Ahh, life in the middle ages, that was when it was at. It was an era when all you needed to mend your roof was a bunch of dry twigs and sticks like the ones pictured here. People were eating crazy foods like roasted hedgehogs and pies with live animals in them (this was an amusement rather than an actual course of the meal). There were no songs singing, "Baby, baby, baby" all over again. Instead, lyrics were all about the "Hey, Nonni Nonni" instead. Who's Nonni? No idea. But what a fun word to sing! Yeah, the Renaissance Era had it's up and downs. People weren't really into bathing and there was a little bug going around called "the plague". But in the end, we all know deep down inside that those people from the Medieval Era just have more fun. Product DetailsYour child will be ready to celebrate Midsommers Eve in Medieval style with this classy Renaissance Boy costume. He'll look right at home playing page boy to a night with the billowy sleeves of the blouse that's layered under a jerkin.

Whether you're heading to the Ren Fair with the whole family or your child simply wants to go the historical route for Halloween, he'll be ready to let out a healthy, "Hey, Nonni Nonni" once he throws on this cool look!
Whatever you like most about the steampunk genre, you can always be sure you'll look unique!

Gear up in this chic Victorian Steampunk Costume, and you'll look ready for your own steampunk adventure!Whenever we think of steampunk, we always picture a world full of massive zeppelins, glittering brass covered skyscrapers, and dashingly dressed heroes fighting off evil doers in thrilling, white knuckle air battles. There's also a quieter side of this hi-tech alternate historical setting, which is full of elegant and ornate outfits (and complex but familiar devices) which combine classic fashion and design with the steely power and might of industry.

The corset style top features strap-like details, rather than the laces you'd expect to find on a traditional corset, and an attached velvet collar with matching puffy shouldered sleeves. The matching leggings and skirt add a sassy mixture of old world and modern feminine fashions, while also letting you show off whichever boots you add to this look. Whatever you like most about this costume, you'll look good no matter where your adventure takes you!
So, you want to get into politics, eh? Think you can swing it? There are a lot of rules once you're in this elite group. Meetings begin at down and could go till dusk. You won't be paid and you'll have to be willing to spend all day at the temple of Apollo. Wait, what? We're talking old-school Roman senators, you mean you want to be a modern senator? We have no idea how that works but we do know plenty about togas.Senators back in the B.C.'s knew how to dress to impress. Forget about pin-stripes, lapel pins, and cheesy seasonal ties. These senators draped themselves in the finest wool and if they were ultra well-off they'd even add a strip of red or purple cloth to their drapery. You have to wonder if they knew they were setting a standard for college parties thousands of years in their future. How many of those long days of filibustering and vetoing ended in a healthy, "chug, chug, chug" chant? It would be weirdly comforting if we knew that senators had to participate in rush-week to get a seat in the senate.Well, whether you want to go back in time to learn about democracy from the ground up or are going to an annual toga party, you're sure to look like a well-to-do senator in this outfit. Not only does this costume have an eye-catching red cloth draped over the ribbed linen-like material but the cloth's hems are also lined in gold. The whole ensemble is belted with gold and topped off with golden laurels, giving you the authority to discuss converting the main city aquifer into a waterslide.
Back in ye old colonial days, you didn’t have to worry about pesky things like getting a hair cut every three weeks, or the onset of male pattern baldness, or even having to wash those long locks on a regular basis! All you had to do was get yourself a fine wig, some powder, and boom: You were looking right and tight!And while there's not much that we would bring back from the colonial days, being able to rock a wig ranks right up there. And now here's your chance: This Mens Colonial Wig will add a touch of historical accuracy to any colonial or revolutionary costume. Sporting a short ponytail in the back that's tied off with a black ribbon, this wig is so slick you'll be tempted to trade in your baseball hat and just slip this on your head on those bad hair days (we don't recommend that, though...those days are over bro, and also, you'll look insane)
A Fashionable Foothold on the BattlefieldHave you ever noticed how swanky ancient soldiers looked? Whenever they're depicted on old pots, in the ruins of ancient mosaics, and carved into stones flanking historic cities, they are bedecked with fancy tall feathered helmets. Their fancy demeanor doesn't stop with their headgear. Their look extends to their carved leather armor, the shining metal gauntlets on their arms, and finely decorated shin guards. With all this finery, there's no way Greek and Roman soldiers would have let their footwear fall to the wayside. What's the point of polishing your bronze chest piece if you're planning on slipping on sneakers before mounting your chariot?Product DetailsWhether you're dressing up as a well to do empress or a dangerous gladiator, this classic ancient sandal is key. You'll look right at home in your armor as these dramatic sandals reach mid-leg when you buckle into these shoes. With a solid backing, your feet will feel solid as you show off your best battle stance at your next costume party. A Victorious FeetSo, put on that tall helmet and secure your fancy toga, now that you've covered the fine details of your footwear, someone should really immortalize your look by painting you on an ancient urn or something. Maybe you'll catch an artist's eye by posting a couple awesome warrior photos on Instagram. Is #mosiacthis a hashtag yet? Rock these sandals and you might just start a web-wide trend!
Marauder MakeoverDo you hear the drums calling? Those rhythms aren't just to inspire you and your fellow longboat riders to run your oars at the same pace. That's the call for battle! You can look out over the field and see it decorated with dozens or more of your competition. They've got their braids done up to the nines. Beads are woven into the men's beards and bands of fabric and leather torn from the defeated give a colorful flair to the women's hair. This is a fashion raid! Who has claimed the ultimate treasures from the most recent attack on those bellyaching nobles? And, more importantly, who is wearing it best!? Does their mighty axe clash more with their armor than it does against their shield!? And, speaking of shields, let's be honest... is it one worthy of carrying a mighty warrior into Valhalla or is it just a bargain arrow blocker that someone lifted off a wannabe warrior? Design & Details Make sure that you are always standing at the forefront of Viking fashion when you come equipped with this Black Viking Shield. This easy-on-the-eyes prop shield is made from plastic though it has the solid look of wood and metal. Painted black with shiny edges, it measures just under three feet in diameter and has two straps in the back for easy wielding. Show the rest that black is the new red when you conquer the competition and make your warrior readiness known!
THE PROPHECY BEGINSOur office Seer doesn't usually have a ton to say. To be honest, a bunch of us are beginning to wonder why we even keep her around. "Trent of the number counters feasts upon the quarry of the unwary" is hardly a world-shattering insight... though it did help us realize where all our lunches were going. However, we know she's serious when she starts bringing up the All-Father and says that a warrior of legend is about to sail from our docks!So, we're getting everything ready for the new Earl (and maybe even King). That means preparing a whole fleet of ships for all the trips out west and plenty of ingredients for the various feasts that we know we'll be having. (Don't worry. Trent isn't helping out with that part of the preparation!) Anyway, you best get ready for some of the craziest adventure that you can imagine, because you're going to last at least four seasons when you set out with us! DESIGN & DETAILSThe Seer has spoken and our clan designers have raided at least a dozen settlements to gather enough materials for this officially licensed Ragnar Lothbrok Costume. This exclusive look includes everything you need to step into the role of the protagonist of Vikings. Start with an embossed tunic and matching belt that each look like worn leather. (Can't have you looking like this is your first fight, after all!) The pants have an elastic waist for easy wear and the boot covers are laser cut to look like leather plates! Get yourself an axe and shield and you might not even need the aid of the gods.WATCH OUT FOR BLIND DRIVERSOnce you go to fulfill the prophecy as Ragnar, we recommend that you watch out for some of those warnings. Especially in modern days, a blind taxi driver is a dangerous route to take! You don't want this Ragnar Costume lasting longer than you do, after all.
Is your kid fascinated by Egyptian mythology? Do you notice his eyes light up whenever the pyramids are featured on TV? Pretty understandable, through the ages, the Egyptians left a multitude of mysterious tombs and temples scattered across the desserts. From the iconic pyramids to the weird temples that held thousands of mummified dogs, the Egyptians have amazed and confused us so many times. We have to wonder, what else is out there hidden by the literal sands of time? When looking at Egyptian art we see a powerful character come up again and again. Anubis, the God of the underworld is the guy that keeps those no good mummies from returning from their crypts. From seeing the care the Egyptians took with their tombs and necropolises we know that a good afterlife was pretty important to them, so it's no wonder why they took such care to honor this God with the head of a jackal. Anubis kept the busy world of Egyptian afterlife running smoothly, after death he'd guide the souls of the embalmed to their rightful place, as long as everything in the tomb seemed above board. So, though your child may seem intimidating when he dresses up as Anubis, he is dressing up as one of the good gods. Though he sometimes showed up as a full-on jackal, this costume portrays Anubis in his humanoid form, which is both more commonly portrayed and much easier to dress as. The gold, black, and turquoise colors of the neck and headpiece gives the costume the regal appearance that Anubis would expect. Topped off with a show-stopping jackal mask, this Anubis costume cuts quite an imposing figure. Those Halloween mummies won't dare cross this guard dog.
Whether your little girl hopes to ring in Halloween parading around the Colosseum as an admired empress or she hopes to trick-or-treat atop Mt. Olympus as a Greek Goddess, she can feel like the crème de la crème of the ancient world with nothing more than a quick and simple costume change. How magical! This elegant and ethereal Ancient Roman Empress Costume is an ideal look for your resident young historian and lover of all of life’s finer things. She already spends hours a day pouring over accounts of ancient events, watching documentaries from bygone eras, brushing up on her Greek mythology, and then quizzing you on it (Do you know the Greek god of blacksmiths, sculptors, fire, and volcanoes? We didn’t think so…) But you also may not know that the female figures of ancient times were not “all beauty and no brains”--nope. These wives of emperors, women of status, and of course, the goddesses, were all powerful people in their own right--just like your little girl!So it's high time to crown her the goddess of Halloween and empress of your living room, letting her live out her destiny in this pretty costume. The pink and gold accents of this dress and headband will tickle her fancy and have her feeling like Greek divinity faster than she can say "Aphrodite." This costume is perfect for Halloween and imaginative play--and she may even look forward to going to the Roman baths to scrub up at the end of the night!
Comeback QueenHere's the difference between princesses and queens. Princesses are given their title, queens have to fight for theirs. And as fighting for the throne goes, Cleopatra's story stands out loud and proud. In the beginning, she was pushed from the throne. Banned from her own land. Did she let that stop her? No! When Caeser was staying in an Egyptian palace, Cleopatra had her servants roll her into a carpet. Then they casually carried her into the palace (we like to imagine them whistling like they do in cartoons). As soon as they unfurled their lovely monarch in front of Caeser he fell head over heels and she made a bid for the throne. It wasn't long before she was ruling again. If that's not a power play, we don't know what is!Details & DesignWe're sure the Egyptian queen would stamp her seal of approval on this Made by Us Cleopatra costume! Our designers created this piece in a nod to the Egyptian style that was popular for the country's hot climate. The unique look features a white bodysuit under a sheer flowing gown with subtle gold stripes. The gown is accented with a stunning gold collar and belt, beaded for ultimate shimmer power. With sheer layers, sparkling gold, and a flattering cut, this costume will be a legendary ensemble at any costumed event.Ultimate Look, No De-NileCleopatra really knew how to make an entrance. She was never afraid to shine! When you're dressing as this legendary queen, take a leaf out of her book. Finish off this look with golden accessories like bangles, sandals, and makeup. Crown yourself with your favorite Cleopatra wig from our collection. When you're looking this royal, you don't even have to roll yourself in a carpet to make a stunning entrance!
The prehistoric bone club was only wielded by the mightiest of Neanderthals; the ones who were strong enough to hunt a menacing dinosaur with a sturdy bone structure. If you're planning on being king of the cave and have your leopard tunic already, adding the mighty bone club to your ensemble is a must.During the dawn of man only the strong survived, and the famed dinosaur club was sure to assert your dominance. Plus, the bone is picked clean. An appetite like that can only come from someone who's worked for it! But know, that great power comes with great responsibility.So, what exactly is this bone from? It kind of looks like a shin bone from a poorly drawn Apatosaurus. Or maybe a femur from an oddly-shaped sabre tooth tiger? Not sure. Wherever you want to pretend you found it, works for us.
Toga party!!! It's something they've shouted throughout history, from Ancient Rome (where every day was a toga party) to modern frat houses in the good old U.S. of A. Whatever time period you're into... and whether you're plotting the downfall of Julius Caesar, or just celebrating the end of the semester in classic college style... our Plus Size Men's Toga is a timeless way to dress for the occasion!The applications are pretty much limitless with this costume, and so are the personas that you can take on. Greek philosopher? Plato, Aristotle, Socrates--they all totally wore togas. Roman citizen? Togas are what they dressed up in to visit the coliseum... and pretty much everywhere else. College party animal? Yep, you guessed it. No self-respecting frat boy in the 50s and 60s partied without one of these fine tunics (trust us, we've watched a lot of movies). And let's not forget the space cults Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock ran into in basically every other episode of the original Star Trek. All of them rocked the toga like it never went out of style (and if you ask us, it didn't). It may be one of the most versatile forms of dress (and costume) that ever existed.So whatever the occasion... Halloween, campus bash, a vote in the Roman senate, space cult meeting... the toga is a great choice, not only for its wearability and style, but also for its historical street cred. Made by us, the plus size men's toga is a costume for all seasons!
The KingSo we all know of King Henry VIII, yes? The ruler of England during the 1500s who had six wives? Of course, we do.He was a man who loved food and drink. He was fond of the hunt, and (supposedly) pretty good-looking. Sure, he was educated and yes, he had a way with the ladies (we need not even mention his sumptuous colorful clothes), but let's not forget the most important part, shall we? He was King of England. We're talking power here. Power to execute people who got in his way, re-work England's constitution, and of course, start up a new church with himself as the head when he didn't agree with the old church. Henry sure knew how to get his way.Design & DetailsSo if you want to dress up as a powerful ruler, our King Henry VIII Costume is definitely the way to go. The doublet is made of tapestry fabric with gold braided trim on the body and sleeves. There's a bronze medallion on a 30" chain to hang around your noble neck. Just add some fancy boots and maybe a crown (also that white shirt which is sold separately) and you'll be one posh ruler. Just remember you aren't actually King Henry VIII. So don't try bossing people around like you're the king of England, because that probably won't go so well.
Home on the PrairieLife on the prairie wasn't easy. That's for sure! You couldn't just break out your smartphone, press a few buttons, and have your new stuff show up at your house a couple of days later.

You had to farm your own food and make your own clothes... boy, is it good that we don't live in those pioneer days! Now we have the convenience of modern society. Why, if you wanted to dress up like a classic novel character, all you'd have to do is click and few buttons and we'd send it to your home!Design & DetailsThis women's plus size costume helps you get a classic prairie girl look from the pioneer days of America. The costume comes with a dark blue gabardine dress that fits with a zipper down the back. It also features brass-tone round buttons down the front of the bodice. It also has pleated fabric on the shoulders and hips, which really adds to the traditional style. When you have it on, you'll feel like living on the prairie... but with a few modern amenities, of course!
Does not come with Big StickTeddy Roosevelt is the least presidential o all the presidents. In our opinion, that's one of his best qualities. He wasn't stuck up, in fact, he was always getting into all sorts of scrapes even after he was voted into office. He went blind in one eye after a boxing incident in the White House. Did he stop fighting in the White House after that happened? Not really, he just switched to jiu-jitsu. Teddy didn't hesitate to become the first president to travel the continental US, braving the treacherous wilderness of the wild west despite the worries of the politicians back in Washington. Actually, he took it further, while he was on the west coast on a speaking tour he snuck off with John Muir to go camping and explore the natural wonders of the Rockies and Yellowstone. This rebellious backpacking trip inspired him to make these national wonders into national parks. Also, we're pretty sure that's where he got that big stick that he mentioned in that famous quote of his. Product Details & DesignWhen we designed this Made-By-Us costume we wanted to represent the other side of US presidential history. This costume is both dignified as well as exploration ready. The suit has a khaki color and an early nineteen-hundreds cut. The brass buttons, jaunty brimmed hat, and collar embroidery add to the presidential flair while the holsters on the belt make you look rough and ready.Speaking Softly OptionalWhether you're choosing a look for Presidents Day or you want a historic look for Halloween, you'll love this dashing costume. You might find yourself longing to explore the wilderness and take on both politicians and moose with your bare hands but that's just a part of transforming into one of the wildest presidents of the US. Do like Teddy would do and take it in stride!
All hail the Empress!People tell you all the time that you have a queenly beauty. You brush them off. Who wants to have queen like beauty when you can have empress like power? Beauty is nothing in comparison to power. You could have anything you want at your beck, and call if you were an empress. Besides you are already beautiful.And if you are going to be an empress, why not be a Roman empress? Rome was kind of awesome. There were lavish parties thrown by the rich. They would dine on fresh fruit, and sip the wine of their country. Often times lounging as they ate and drank their fill. They sat talking of the goings on of Rome. All the best gossip of war, hedonism, and betrayal.For a woman who already possess the beauty of a queen, we have this Roman Empress Costume so you can not only have beauty, but power as well. You will be kept fairly busy as a ruler of Rome, but maybe you can have the Senate take care of the business of state. While you lounge with your friends. Eating grapes, and drinking wine. Just be sure to keep a dagger on you at all times. Romans are a crafty bunch who sometimes over throw their leaders. You don't want to be the next Caesar, saying "Et tu, Brute?"
Colonial CostumeNowadays you can order a burrito to your living room by pulling the computer out of your pocket and giving a delivery app your address.

And while we can toss a tasty pastry into the toaster and have breakfast minutes after we wake up, back then you had to do the hard work of milking the cow, building the fire, making bread dough from scratch, collecting eggs (if they were laid), and on and on. Imagine all those dishes, with no dishwasher! And just imagine: that’s when the real work began. Baking, cleaning, sewing, cultivating the garden, helping to raise the children, more farming. We’re exhausted just thinking about it, and the toughest thing we did today was sit in rush hour traffic on our way to the office! How they managed, while maintaining such a unique style, is simply amazing.

We surveyed a pool of 100 men to ask them what their beard means to them. This is a brief summary of our findings...Once thought of as a personal grooming choice for only mountain-men and lumberjacks, beards have made quite a comeback in recent years. Now everyone from hipsters residing in Brooklyn to philosophy professors are choosing to sport this popular trend in facial hair. The men we talked to like sporting full beards because it makes them feel powerful, rugged, hardy, and overall more masculine.

"Yeah, if a beard was good enough for Abe Lincoln, then a beard is good enough for me," another participate explained.Men-in-the-making, don't worry because your ability to display a robust beard will come soon enough. Until then, wear this red viking beard to give you the macho appearance you desire. You can see what it's like to have a furry face while also enjoying your time as a kid because it goes fast. Be at ease knowing that you will truly join the beard movement some day soon!
Diety DramaIf there's one thing we know about the ancient gods, they love a bit of drama. Whether it was love or war, they couldn't help getting involved in mortal trouble. They blessed those that entertained them the most, watching as we humans launched ships and attacked lands simply because the most beautiful woman in the world left her husband. Knowing what we know about the gods, it's safe to say they love reality television. They no longer need to meddle in our affairs, we broadcast them for all the world to see.

Follow the Drinking Gourd“I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.” -Harriet TubmanEveryone knows the name of Harriet Tubman.

Extraordinary GodsGreek gods were kind of boring. Zeus just looked like an old guy with a scraggly white beard. Hermes was just a normal looking dude with some wings pasted on his feet. Cupid was a flying baby. That’s all fine and good, but what if you want to be an ancient god that truly looks extraordinary? Then you need to look at all the Egyptian gods from the ancient world. Talk about extraordinary! Sobek was a walking talking crocodile. Sekhmet was a female goddess who had the body of a woman and the face of a lioness. But that’s not even the best god of them all! That title goes to Anubis.Yes, Anubis was the god of being awesome! Wait, that’s not right. He was actually the god embalming and mummification.

Yeah, we didn’t think so!Product DetailsNow, you can look like the Egyptian god when you wear this plus size Anubis costume. It comes with a black top with a pair of matching black pants.

Time for Some Tea and Civilized Conversation"U up? Wyd?" Ugh, no thanks. Leave the texting era behind and go back to a time where the rules of civility were stylish and you could dress up as much as you like.

She sounds like a real Rosie the Riveter type! So, when her teacher needs to rally the troops for the annual bake sale, it's no surprise she's asked your girl to lend a helping hand.

An Eagle's VisionYou don't need a pilot's license to rock some pilot gear! The pilot has a lot of iconic accessories. The leather, fleece lined jacket is one, especially when it has fuzzy lapels, too. The tight leather piloting helmet is another great costume accessory that comes from history.

Don't Make Eye ContactThis might sound weird, but have you ever been at a museum or in a decorated garden and felt as though the statues were... watching you? They seem lifeless and vacant, but you could have sworn you felt eyes on the back of your neck before you turned to look. Also, that statue was farther away before, wasn't it? Oh, dear. This might not be good. Product DetailsYou'll be an unsettling sight in this exclusive Scary Sullen Statue Mask for Adults! The unisex silvery mask conceals your entire head and most of your neck.

Gentlemen, Lend Me Your SpearsThe mythology of Greeks and Romans wouldn't be much without the drama of the gods. They really went out of their way to show the danger of having too much time on their hands. Immortality will do that to you. The gods often occupied centuries of their lives with petty competitions. And it's not like they bowed out with grace either, Poseidon cursed Athens with drought when they preferred Athena's gift of an olive tree to the sea god's gift of a salty, useless stream.Speaking of Athena, she was pretty great at setting mortals against each other for petty reasons. Now that we think about it, all the Gods and Goddesses weren't above that. No wonder why training for war was so important to the Greeks and Romans.
