Living Vicariously With Halloween Pet Costumes
Fantasies of other lives are a frequent human occupation
. Costumes can help with this. If our pets are expressions of ourselves, how about Halloween pet costumes? Let's take a tour of this fantasy land.
Do you love adventure? Turn your dog into a pirate! The black body and bold trim of the costume suggest aggression and excitement. Everybody knows that skull and crossbones means danger.
Maybe you would like to represent a need to savor every experience down to the last drop. Then dogula might be the thing for you. The romantic combination of black body and red hood expresses your love of life and experience. Surely your dog wouldn't mind.
If you are frequently angry but have difficulty expressing it, then cat from hell might help. This costume works with a small dog too. Bright red with a pointed helmet suggesting horns embodies that don't mess with me feeling. Fortunately it doesn't come in large sizes. That could be scary.
Skeledog is almost literally a daredevil. The dog's head and limbs are visible, so we know it is not a real skeledog, but the black body with printed bones is a strong image
he magic spell costume makes the dog look like a good witch. It's a rather magical and cute look, but we all know what that black hat means. If you like to hate stereotypes, this would be a good one for your dog.
If you want a naughty and nice boy, go with playboy lil devil. Everybody recognizes the playboy symbol rabbit's head. Combine that with a red costume having horns and a pointed tail and you send a clear message, a cute little devil.
Clown dog lets you laugh at the absurdities of life. The conical hat and playful collar capture the free spirit of the clown. The bright colors symbolize the optimistic, fearless will to laugh at adversity.
Want to bring out your super hero attributes? Feeling like wonder woman? Then you should have wonder dog! The costume is very recognizable.
The friendly ghost is a contradiction that we are familiar with. Ghost dog embodies that. It looks like a ghost, but it isn't very scary. The red and yellow accents neutralize the white vest and cone shaped hat. It's almost festive, more like a guardian spirit.
Here we have a dog with shades, or is this Elvis? This is the modern version of immortality, the spirits of the famous linger on in stylistic remembrance. Your dog becomes a modern icon, a redneck rebel, sort of a pirate.
More dogs with glasses, this time it's harry Potter. It sure has the Potter details, down to the Hogwarts emblem. Welcome to the Harry Potter fan club, that seems to be the message.
Smurf's dog will close out our little exhibition. This would seem to be an agrarian fantasy. Little blue people living their peaceful lives out in the country. A pleasant, low key fantasy.
