Agree? Disagree? Let us know in the comment area.

1. Dynasty Diva Costume from the 80′s – this is what it’s all about. Glitz and glam to the hilt. Joan Collins never looked hotter (or bitchier) than during her heyday Dynasty diva days. This costume comes with full length pink dress and big puffy ruffle sleeves, add some pearls and a groovy wig and you’re good to go. Linda Evans eat your heart out.

2. Top Gun Costume for Women – was there a hotter movie than Top Gun in 1986? No there wasn’t. This blockbuster starring a tanned and beefy Tom Cruise and relatively unknown actress (Kelly McGillis) was a HUGE hit and so was the fashion that came out of it, including the mega popular bomber jacket Cruise wore as was pretty much anything related to aviation. When Top Gun instructor Charlie (a/k/a Kelly) stepped into the aviation room to brief the young cadets on their mission, she looked hot and wore something similar to what’s pictured below. This is new for 2011 and is a sexy costume for women into uniforms.

3. Spice Girls Costume -  the four hot ladies from Britain that called themselves the Spice Girls were insanely popular during the 80′s and many girls dressed up as one of the fab four for Halloween back then. And now you can to with this Spice Girls costume that will glitter all the way to the party.

4. Baywatch Costume for Women – beach babe Pamela Anderson and The Hoff, what a team. Who was the most popular lifeguard during the 80′s? It has to be the very buxom and very blond Pam Anderson who surfed into the hearts of millions of teen boys (and teen lesbians) all over the world – when she made her stunning debut in the Baywatch TV show. The float with orange and yellow bikini are all part of the Baywatch costume pictured below. *sorry, no whistle comes with this costume

5. Madonna Halloween Costume – did you think we were going to mention Halloween costumes from the 80′s and not mention Madonna? The reigning queen of fashion from 1985 to 1990. The costume below is the 80′s wild child look and it comes with the following: little black dress, leggings, glovelets, chain belt, necklace, hairpiece and the wristlets. This is probably one of Madonna’s most popular and iconic ensembles that will live on forever – via Halloween.

Here’s a fun Vegas showgirl costume that ought to razzle and dazzle any woman.

We found the Vegas showgirl costume online via Etsy so this means it’s a handmade masterpiece and the seller (mMeGigi ) mentions in her description that it’s made to order.

This siren pink and black burlesque costume is sure to stop the show. Gorgeous satin corset with polka dot ruffles and accented boning chanels to accentuate your figure. It has a short skirt of divinely soft heavy-weight black turkey feathers to just cover up your backside.

This s a fun costume for just about any party or get together. Even Halloween.

When planning the perfect costume, you want to make your choice stand out from the crowd. At any costume party, this is never going to be an easy task, but there are a few things you can do to help make sure your costume always stands out from the crowd.

Hot, Not - But They Do Stand Out

Firstly, it can be great to go as a recognizable person from popular culture. Whether you’re attending a Halloween party, or just a regular costume party, keeping your costume contemporary can be a great way to make sure you catch everyone’s eye. It can also be a particularly good idea to go as someone with a an especially outlandish image. Think about the sort of characters that would usually catch your eye if you were engrossed in a game of Cheeky Bingo, or someone who you would still recognize if they were drawn as a cartoon. This can be a great way to make sure everyone instantly knows who you have come as.

Secondly, you should play to your own personal strengths. If you’ve ever been told you look a little bit like Lady Gaga, for example, then don’t miss the opportunity to use that to your advantage! There are so many costumes available nowadays that you’re sure to be able to find what you need to create the look that you want.

Lastly, you should always remember to accessorize. Don’t just go for the basic costume – if you really want to stand out from the crowd then it is a good idea to invest in a good range of accessories. This will be different for every costume – some looks won’t be complete without face-paint and props, while some will require particular footwear or a wig. If you want your costume to be as effective as possible, then it is essential that you invest in a good range of suitable accessories.

Are you a fan of the Jersey Shore? If so, then you’re probably a big fan of Snooki as well, the little Lolita from New York.

Ever since the MTV show debuted just a few short years ago, Snooki and the rest of the cast have taken TV land by storm. This show debuted with strong ratings and an even stronger following. But it didn’t hit the stratosphere till little Snooki took a punch in the face like no woman has on TV. The punch heard (and viewed) round the world made Snooki a household name, as shortly after it aired everyone started asking what is “Jersey Shore” and what is a “Snooki”.

Now fast forward a few years, people are asking about the Snooki costume? The Snooki costume is real simple, add a dash of tan and a sprinkle of high poofy hair and voila – you have Snooki.

What fun!

The costume above sports a leopard mini- skirt dress and comes in “one size fits all” for your Jersey Shore pleasure. Get it now and don’t forget to wear it with lots of attitude and a smack of class – to bring it all home.

Admit it, men love to go ape once in a while and what better costumer (or outfit) would an ape love to dress up as? A caveman costume. Of course.

The caveman costume comes with a headband, wristbands, vest, belt, bone, shorts and boot tops. A simple but clean costume any man would be proud to be seen in.

This sexy costume should delight just about any hard to buy for dude, that’s looking for a great costume under $50. We found it online via Spirit Halloween, in stock and ready to ship.

If this one isn’t up your alley, you might also be interested in the Tarzan costume for men we previously profiled.
