Wanna be a pirate for Halloween? Tips for boys and girls on creating an authentic pirate costume
When the pirates of Bluebeard’s time weren’t gathering booty from His or Her Majesty’s ships, plundering riches from every nation’s fleet, they were flaunting their riches and making merry in Caribbean seaports where other nations dared not intrude. The pirates dressed in a manner reflecting their disdain for the ordinary law-abiding people, making law as they went along, frequently stealing from one another as possible and getting into sword fights, sometimes losing eyes and even legs in these battles. When piracy was finally – for the most part – brought to an ignominious end, over a couple of centuries, the less admirable qualities of pirates faded in memory, to be replaced with a sort of romanticism of colorful, adventurous individuals which still lives on today. Halloween is the perfect occasion on which kids can dress up in an authentic pirate costume.
Truly speaking female pirates costume are always in scarce as lots of women in the neighborhood and around wish to dress up like a pirate women showering romantic feelings.
One of the facts of men and women pirate costumes is that they are always splashy. Let us have a look on some of the common things of women and men pirates’ costume. Let me start with the tri-cornered hat, typically black that always agreed the sign of the crossbones and skull. Also, the hats of women were highly decorated with long feathers/feather leaving those traditional ribbons than men. Moreover, the ordinary pirate crew members agreed to rely upon the scarves and bandannas instead of hats that were worn by their officers at large.
All you boys and girls need a sword and a pair of swashbuckling boots. Feel free to enhance that plastic sword with a row of jewels, fastened with a little glue. The flashier the better!
Now, for some of the subtler differences between girl’s and boy’s authentic pirate costumes: boys need an eye patch, demonstrating their experience in battles at sea.
If you’re a girl, every authentic pirate costume should show that feminine side – lots of lace, brighter colors, striped off the shoulder tees, fancy jeweled belts and more elaborate hats and jackets, heavy on the lace and decorative accessories. By all means, add plenty of bangles, necklaces and outrageous earrings!
A pirate men has to dress up like a man who has worn common tunic or wobbly shirt with left hanging outside long breeches, and a simply cut vest affording choice of movement on the high seas. On the other side women are dressed up with tight garments to show their figure. Moreover, a man’s tunic shirt and simply cut vest are being replaced for fixed bodice and vest.
Above all, the genuine pirate costumes are always less expensive and more pretty to rock the entire fun of your Halloween evening.

Adult halloween party ideas for Halloween 2009
Even if you are least creative and imaginative then also you can easily manage to grab some adult Halloween party ideas. Now listen one thing carefully before we move ahead that adult Halloween party is especially for all those adults who lovingly come to enjoy the Halloween evening by keeping their kids aside by paying premium babysitters price. Well this is one of the duties to get fulfilled if you have kids.
Just think about it: You and your wife, or your husband, or girlfriend or boyfriend, have been invited to an “adult halloween party” and have decided to come as something wholly inappropriate for youngsters. It could be something like sexy nurse or sexy disney princess, or it could be something like a bloody corpse, or something entirely different that I’m not creative enough to think of right off the top of my head here, but regardless, something inappropriate for young viewers. Something not PG-13, but something rated R.
Now get ready for the party with amazing stylish costumes and really don’t think that after knocking the door you are going to get greet by some six year old person in a clown suit. Of course, kids are not a part of adult Halloween party ideas and hence some arrangements for them should be strictly made.
One can’t deny the fact the best Halloween ideas come with huge booze. Adult Halloween party ideas are always accompanied by a refrigerator full of beer or champagne, a liquor cabinet full of scotch, or a bowl full or rum punch. This is the reason that kids shouldn’t be a part of this very exciting party of adults. Being a parent it is really not easy to face your kid after having heavy drinks and hence I guess this is not the time to take risk by accompanying your kids.
Which brings us to the need to make sure there are plenty of designated drives and keymasters, people who can take keys from the guests as they arrive to make sure that nobody gets behind the wheel with a headfull of hooch. When it comes to adult halloween party ideas, driving drunk is absolutely the worst one.
Therefore, adult Halloween parties should be kept until adults only! Well, I advise you to plan the invitation in such a way that kids are directly prohibited from the party gate. Also, bringing kids can prove as one of the uncomfortable experiences for you and your kid as well.
