The Queen of Halloween is always full of confessions and here is another one: playing inside of her little blonde head is a cartoon, at least most of the time. Before anyone gets the wrong idea, pay attention to this: the Queen is a nearly a genius (five points from being one, thank you very much) and works very hard at what she does. But, she is also just this side of a giggling fit- because of the cartoon that is playing in her head. The brain needs a break every now and then. Since that is the case, it would stand to reason that the Queen loves cartoon character costumes. Here are some of the best:
The Classics Fancy Dress Costume Ideas
Think of cartoons and who do you come up? If you grew up in the same era as the Queen, you instantly think of Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes Characters. Oh what fun you can have with any of these classic cartoon character costumes, especially if you know the catch phrases and mannerisms of the character. Here are some of the favorites:
Bugs Bunny- Okay, you could technically wear any bunny costume (however, Bugs would fall over if he showed up pink.) Make sure that you never miss a chance to add in a wisecrack or to ogle a gal. Bugs' major line of course "Eh, what's up, Doc?" Chomp on a carrot for realistic touch to this cartoon character costume.
Daffy Duck: The little black duck is a craven coward, a money grubber and has a major speech impediment. One of the most fun cartoon character costumes to wear- you only have to make sure that you have the line ready at will. "You're Despicable."
Yosemite Sam: Red hair, red beard and mustache, cowboy outfit and you have the right look for this cartoon character costume. Pack toy guns and know these lines: "I'm the rootinest, tootinest, shootinest varmint west of the Pecos." and of course, "I hates that rabbit."
Elmer Fudd: This classic cartoon character costume starts with a hunting outfit, complete with the big hat. Elmer has a major speech impediment too, and his classic line: "Ssh, be vewy, vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits."
The New Cartoon Characters
Of course, the youngsters of today have their own favorite character that they will want to dress as and many of them are finding fans among the adults as well.
SpongeBob Squarepants: The yellow sponge character is square (hence the name) and wears a white button down shirt and brown trousers. If you can get that giggle down pat, you will amuse people for the first five minutes. Do it more than that as an adult you might get clonked on the noggin.
Patrick the Starfish: Patrick is SpongeBob's best friend. He is a pink starfish and only wears a pair of swimming trunks. Patrick is the not the brightest character under the sea but is a pretty loveable character.
There are so many cartoon character costumes that you might have a very hard time choosing which one that you would like to wear. You may even have to flip a coin- best of luck on that one!
