Pin up Plan - Art of Seduction - The Natural

"The Natural embodies the longed-for qualities of childhood - spontaneity, sincerity, unpretentiousness.  In the presence of Naturals, we feel at ease, caught up in their playful spirit, transported back to that golden age..they make a virtue out of weakness, eliciting sympathy for their trials, making us want to protect and help them." - The Art of Seduction

It's a Vintage Halloween!

Halloween is one of my FAVORITE holidays (costumes and candy??  What's not to love?) and it will be here before you know it!  And what is more perfect for an amazing costume than vintage?  (the answer is nothing, my friends, nothing at all..)

Here are a few suggestions for the perfect vintage Halloween costume:

Why not wear a 60's wiggle dress and wig and go as Marilyn or MadMen's Joan Holloway?

How about a poofy 50's cupcake dress or 80's prom dress, crown and wings for Glinda the Good Witch?

A tutu, bob wig and some great 1920's make up and you could be Louise Brooks

Everybody loves Lucy!  A cute 50's shirt dress, a red wig and her signature red lipstick (you could even add a frilly little apron ;)

The possibilities are endless!  What are your costume plans for Halloween this year?  I'd love to hear them (and see them!  Feel free to post a picture on ConstantlyAlice's facebook page ;)
