Fairy Princess Costumes - Why Are They So Popular, Even Today?

Why do the fairer sex just love to dress up as a fairies?

Well, it's because it makes them feel special, just like a beautiful princess, both charming and elegant.

No matter what you say, fairy costumes are by far the most 'in demand' costumes not only during Halloween but throughout the year.

Not just for little girls but also for female adults too. Fairy costumes for adults however, sometimes have sexual undertones which is contrary to the true fairy tradition. Especially at Halloween. This of course is a modern-day spin to sell more costumes. Their skirts are quite sexy, long enough to cover the essentials but short enough to be interesting!

Of course, no self respecting fairy would ever think of doing such a thing because their clothes are already a perfect combination of beauty, elegance, and charm.

Guys, of course think quite differently, they are up for even more fun. The uglier the costume, the better they like it. Ghouls and demons are name of game here. But there are also fairy costumes available for men too. A typical example is the Tooth Fairy costume. I must admit, seeing the costume on a guy was a bit of a shock, but it was also very, very funny. And of course that's the whole idea, just to have fun.

On the darker side, (no I'm not talking about Star Wars) concerning witches and other scary creatures, there's nothing that the young lads love more than a really scary costume, with the most disgusting accessories. Don't believe me! Just check out the worm sandwich, that's enjoyed by ghouls everywhere! Not to mention frogs legs, crow's feet and spider pie. All part of the ingredients of a witch's cauldron.

However, some kids rise above the dark side and favour the intergalactic costumes from their favourite scifi programs. Enter Luke Skywalker, Mr Spock, Captain Kirk and the many crew of the Enterprise. But these of course are modern day heroes and not only for kids. but for a huge adult population too. For example, the age of Star Trek fans (Trekkies) ranges from 1 to 99 years, and I'm not joking, they are fanatical and really live their fantasy throughout their life.

These are the people who buy the Star Trek uniforms and accessories in great numbers and they even have a Star Trek convention every year. And of course there is an industry built around them, just like there is for Halloween, Christmas and any other event that catches the eye of the local population. There are simply hundreds of costumes to choose from, so get out there and find the one that suits you and enjoy the occasion.

There are always three ways to enjoy an event, such as Halloween or a fairy princess party:
1. Looking forward to the event, choosing your costume, shoes and accessories (by the way don't forget the wand!).
2. The actual event itself. Wearing your fairy costume and enjoying the feeling of elegance and charm that it brings. Not to mention how good it makes you feel.
3. Remembering every enjoyable moment in your mind's eye. And wearing your costume every once in while, of course. Just for fun!
