Quick + Easy Couple Costume: Wreck-It Ralph + Vanellope von Schweetz

We were finally able to catch Wreck-It Ralph last week, and we both loved it! It helps that we're both life-long gamers...

So this week, I bring you a great, easy couples costume that you can pull off with your hubby OR your bff. Enjoy!

Ralph

If you don't plan on wearing these clothes ever again, take them to the next level: rip the pant cuffs and sleeves off the button-up for the bustin'-out Ralph look from the movie. Suck it up and go barefoot--Ralph would look Fifty Shades of Wrong in shoes. You'll need some hair gel too, diaper baby.

Vanellope

Not the most fashion-forward little rascal, Vanellope was a tough one to shop for! Key: don't forget to bedazzle your hair with candy.

All Media Mondays: Halloweentown!

Halloweentown is one of my favorite films of the season!  I am a true product of the Disney Original Movie.  (Before HSM time...)  I'm talkin' Zenon, Smart House, Brink...  Ask me to name them all later.  It was an exciting day when I learned they had released many of these on DVD.  Guess who owns Halloweentown?

Anyway,  this film features a family consisting of a single mother, (like many Disney movies,) her two daughters, son, and a very eccentric grandmother played by the wonderful Debbie Reynolds. When grandma shows up on Halloween, strange things start to happen.  The oldest daughter Marnie, portrayed by Kimberly J. Brown, thinks that there may be more to her strong fascination with the odd and macabre.  When grandma encourages the behavior, mom gets angry.  So the kids follow their grandmother after she leaves in defeat to a strange looking bus-stop...  And land in Halloweentown!

It's cute.  It's fun.  It's Halloweenish!  Disney made a few more in this series, but, of course, the original is the best.  I can do two, Calabar's Revenge, and can gripe through three, Halloweentown High, but after that, there's no point.  It might only speak to my generation, but hey, I still suggest you give it a try ;)

How many Disney Original Movies can YOU name?
