If you’ve ever heard of Rob Dyrdek then you know how crazy he is!  His show on MTV “Fantasy Factory” is always…well, pretty ridiculous!  Last week’s episode was called “Thy Kingdom of Fantasy Factory” and Rob and his crew decide to try out the inventive world of LARPing.  LARP is short for Live Action Role Play.  LARP is becoming bigger and more popular everywhere.  Basically everyone dresses up as a character- (it could be totally made up character) and you act as your character.

Dyrdek and the Fantasy Factory crew end up dressing up as supernatural warriors as a means to prove their weight in the gamin world and “defend the honor” of their beloved Fantasy Factory.  This episode was hilarious!!! A serious must see for all LARP fans and beginners!  The costume they made up were odd indeed and with Rob and the gang it certainly made for great entertainment!  I laughed so hard at Chanel (the girl) because she’s always thrown into these kooky situations and her reaction is priceless!

Here are a few shots from the episode:

When YOU decide to have your own LARP extravaganza be sure to make Costumes 4 Less you first stop as we have plenty of larp costumes!

Otherwise known as Universal Studio’s biggest mistake- Star Wars has a loyal audience of fans like no other movie!  First of all it’s known as Universal Studio’s biggest mistake because in 1973 director, George Lucas came to them with the proposal of Star Wars and was turned down.  Little did they know Star Wars would go on to make over 22 billion dollars!  Um yea…a pretty huge mistake not to take in this movie!  20th Century Fox ended up picking up this gold mine and no one had even a slight idea it would take off as it did.  The cast was on such a poor budget they had to fly coach to England to save money for the movie!  Isn’t that nuts-  I suppose Star Wars was one of those things that everyone thought would be a flop…and then it turned out to be a multi-billion dollar success!  Wow!  Without further ado- here are your 5 must have masks for all you Star Wars Fans!  All these costume masks can be found at Costumes 4 Less and would make for an awesome Star Wars themed party or Halloween Costume!

1.  Clone Trooper Mask – This helmet features smoked see-thru front lens.

2.  C3Po-  The beloved and dependable droid.

3.  Darth Maul Mask-  Perfect for anyone looking to become the villain this mask is a full over the head latex mask.

4.  Shaggy Chewbacca Mask-  Lucas originally created “Chewy” to be a cross between Indiana, a bear, and a monkey!

5.  Darth Vader Supreme Edition Original Mask- This mask was cast from Director, George Lucas’ studio mold!

In a small town of Glen Rock, PA every year there is a Fairie Festival.  I have gone once myself a few years ago.  It’s way cool, if you are into fairies or woodland creatures in general then you have to go to this festival!  It’s a three day event that is prepared for all year round.  Days before the festival there is a workshop where you make little fairy houses and gardens in the endless pathways in the woods.  The Fairie Festival is truly one of a kind and you won’t regret going!  There is everything from music, dancing, magic, and so much more!  You’ll have a blast!

But don’t forget to dress up!  Visit our Fairy Land pinterest page for ideas on what to wear!  We have every fairy -young and old so get to searching!  Here’s our Enchanting Fairy:

Isn’t it just gorgeous! It has a woodland rustic look with the metallic accents but also a timeless beauty!  We just love the tie up corset and matching wings!  You’d look great wearing this to the Sproutwood May Day Fairie Festival!

This spring and summer style is all about flats.  We’ve got only the most unique and highest quality summer flats that you simply can’t find for a better price!  Now don’t get us wrong- we love our heels, but when you’re at the beach or taking a stroll in a park this summer you are going to need some alternatives.  And you’re going to need some chic alternatives- we’ve got just that!

Picture this:

 You’re taking a small hike around the state park- you need our Apache gladiator flats to go along with your hippie outdoors look.  These boho flats are braided around your ankle and have fringes coming off the sides.  Theses fringes move as you walk giving you a weightless look and the suede couldn’t be more comfortable!

Picture this:

You’re headed to NY City for a day trip to walk around and visit the museums.  You are in NY so you HAVE to look good- but you don’t want to to break your ankles walking in heels all day.  Our Giselle beaded flats are a gorgeous alternative that still give you the sophisticated sexy look you desire!  They are beautifully beaded around the back of your heel to the front of your foot.  They are available in electric black and breezy beige.

Picture this:

 You’re going for a night out on the town for dinner and some shopping.  You have to look elegant but you need to be comfortable at the same degree.  Go with our Dazzle mini wedge sandals!  They feature an alluring wrap around your ankle and beautiful stones centered over top your foot.

Picture this:

You’re headed to a street festival or underground party and there will be too much rocking to wear heels…so slip on these rocker chic flats that have gold and silver chain accents and blinged out rhinestones!

We think you are going to have a great time this summer in our sandals!  Peace, Love, Costumes.

Since my daughter has discovered “dress-up” it’s been one of her favorite hobbies!  I keep all her dress up dresses in front in her closet so she can choose which dress, or which princess she wants to be for the day.  She’s so funny, it all depends on how she feeling that day to pick which dress she’ll want to wear.

Dress-up is a double win for toddlers.  Not only is it fun, but it’s also a healthy way to learn.  Playing dress-up takes imagination.  Just think- today you can be a princess, tomorrow you can be a monster.    I know my daughter loves to pretend to be Rapunzel from Tangled Costume.  She’ll even repeat lines from the movie and grab her pretend lizard and stick it on her shoulder! 

Besides from princesses, she also adores to play doctor using her fake stethoscope and other “checkers.”  She tells me that I need to take my medicine so I will feel better!  Just by playing dress up she’s picked up on new vocabulary and different roles that people play.

All toddlers can play dress-up!  Yes, my little girl loves being a princess, but that never stops her from also being a monster.  Boys can have fun too.  Think:  Superhero’s, astronauts, race car drivers, and pirates!  Take this for thought, your child get’s in the car and watches you drive the car- now he can put on his own pretend seat belt, put the keys in the ignition, and race down the road (the hallway in your house) to the finish line!

This world lives and breaths off of imagination so cherish your toddlers imagination-  You too will be surprised how big of an imagination can fit in their little head!

Costumes 4 Less has the biggest selection of toddler costumes as well as accessories!  Check out the some of our great toddler dress up costumes and accessories below:
