Rock, Paper, Scissors
Sent in by Miriam to our 2011 costume contest.
Remember playing "Rock Paper Scissors" as a kid? The creator of this unique costume set sure did! Doing a group set of costumes is really a great idea, and gives a broader span of choices. Just remember the rules... Rock smashes scissors, scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock...
Dirty Laundry
Sent in by Samantha to our 2012 costume contest.
Never mind the old saying of "don't air your dirty laundry in public." This contributor's submission of "Dirty Laundry" costume sure didn't stick to the status quo! How much fun would it be for a kid to wear underwear on their head in public AND get away with it?
