Pin Up Costumes for Halloween   by Myra Diaz

Pin up costumes are and always have been a staple of Halloween wear. There’s no question that the best most fun thing about October 31st is that for this one day and one night, we can be whomever we want to be.

Want to be Betty Grable or Marilyn Monroe, two of the most famous pin-up girls from the 40’s and 50’s? Wear a pin up costume and be her for a day.

Imagine the fun and glamor as you doll up and recreate a Playboy centerfold or maybe a popular comedic actress such as Tina Louise, who played Ginger on Gilligan’s Island. All are for the taking on Halloween, just choose your girl.

Another fun thing about pin up costumes is that usually most are enhanced via a series of accessories; including tall boots, make-up, fish-net stockings, garters, belts, hats, and so much more. A great Halloween costume idea for any and all devotees to yesteryear.

Those who seek pin up costumes are in love with decades gone by, including the roaring 20’s, dazzling 40’s, pop culture filled 50’s, and the tumultuous but very fashionable 60’s. It doesn’t matter which pin up decade you go after, each one offers up a sexy hot pin up girl to emulate.
