Now for a little history about Pirates. They are a frequent topic in fiction and are associated with certain stereotypical manners of speaking and dress, some of them wholly fictional: “nearly all our notions of their behavior come from the golden age of fictional piracy, which reached its zenith in 1881 with the appearance of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island.”

Some inventions of pirate culture such as “walking the plank” were popularized by J. M. Barrie’s novel, Peter Pan, where Captain Hook‘s pirates helped define the fictional pirate archetype. Robert Newton’s portrayal of Long John Silver in Disney’s 1950 film adaptation of Treasure Island also helped define the modern rendition of a pirate, including the stereotypical “pirate” accent. Other influences include Sinbad the Sailor, and the recent Pirates of the Caribbean films have helped kindle modern interest in piracy and have succeeded quite handsomely in box office grosses.

The classic Gilbert and Sullivan operetta The Pirates of Penzance focuses on The Pirate King and his hopeless band of pirates on the South coast of England. The Pirate King is often believed to be inspiration for Jack Sparrow. One of the stereotypical features of a pirate, the eye patch, dates back to the Arab pirate Rahmah ibn Jabir al-Jalahimah who wore it after losing an eye in battle in the 18th century.

The Dark and Light Sides of Fairy Halloween Costumes

Posted in Sexy Halloween Costumes, Women's Halloween Costumes on August 10th, 2009 by Helfyre

Whether you are naughty or nice, fairy Halloween costumes come in all styles and colors. This basic look is a holiday favorite partly because of its versatility. You can take your look any direction you like. Get creative and add your own personal touches, so that yours will stand out among the many other fairy Halloween costumes that appear each season.

Pink Fairy Costume

In general, the fairy look consists of a few basic parts. There are the wings and the wand. The traditional fairy is usually seen in a dress-style garment; however this is where creativity can come in strong. You can wear whatever you like, be it a dress or pants. Forget traditional and make it personal!

What kind of fairy are you? Do you prefer the softly colored, lighthearted Tinkerbelle fairy costume look? Do you have no intentions on appearing in a Disney movie, and are going for a dark Gothic style? Perhaps you have an affinity for the mischievous imp? Once you have set the tone for your fairy Halloween costume, it is easy to figure out where to start.

Men and women can both delve into the world of fairy Halloween costumes. While most people may consider the look to be purely feminine in nature, it does not have to be. Nor does a fairy have to be a pleasant and jovial creature. Your fairy persona could be quite dark and brooding, or even slobbish if you prefer.

The most important thing to remember about the Halloween holiday is that it is a time to be what you are not, so dress however you like. A man can sport a pair of wings, wig and ballerina shoes, if he wants to. The best part is, on Halloween, he will probably receive curious glances and smiles rather than scorn or worried stares.

Create a fairy Halloween costume that fits you.

You can add color or embellishments to wings and make them sparkle. Attach streamers to your wand, or buy really fancy tassels or streamers that include shapes. The color and style of these will set the tone for your look. Try something completely unorthodox! Be the first zombie fairy on your block. Maybe your fairy doubles as a plumber or waitress? You could put on an apron or tote a plunger with you for the evening. The fairy costume is extremely versatile, so use that to your advantage.

Remember that props must be kept in check when going to Halloween parties. Halloween costume wings can sometimes get in the way. Be careful when waving your wand to cast pixie enchantments, you do not want to hit a fellow guest mid-cast!

Fairy Halloween costumes are very flexible and fun. Take the extra time to add your own personal touches and embellishments. Push the look to a whole new level by adding a new twist on an old idea. Be the naughty imp or a goody-goody Tinkerbelle. Remember to keep the creativity coming and who knows, maybe next year your friends will be lining up to ask you for help with their fairy Halloween costumes.
