We celebrated Halloween last night at a local party. I had so much fun in my Dame of the Dead costume. My friend Jeannie helped me with the makeup and it was perfect.  Even my close friends didn’t recognize me until I spoke.

The ladies Day of the Dead costume was easy to wear. I am too old for many of the modern, sexy costumes. This one covered me up and was great to dance in. There were black lights near the dance floor and I guess I glowed! Friends tried to get a picture but um, I don’t think the black light glow will come across in a flash picture. Guess you had to be there.

The Dame of the Dead and Del Muerto Groom Costumes were exclusives at my favorite Halloween retailer. They are quality costumes coming with all you need except for makeup and possibly a wig for the ladies costume. And you’ll need your own shoes. I wore black boots with mine.

If you’re looking to do a whole family outfit to celebrate El Dia de los Muertos, I would suggest picking up a kids skeleton costume, not using the mask (masks are uncomfortable anyway) and adding your own makeup.

 We celebrate with Mexican beer, Margaritas, Spanish food, and of course a little Spanish attire adds to the atmosphere. Check out some great Senorita and Bandido costumes, order now and get in the mood for a fiesta!
