Top 2006 Halloween Costumes for Adults

Just because I am 23 doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy dressing up and enjoying Halloween festivities like I did as a kid. Last year and the year before, my husband and I bought costumes and traveled to his alma mater to celebrate with the wild and rowdy college students of ECU. The first year I was a sexy nurse and he was my pimp daddy. Last year I wore a gaudy blue outfit and called myself the naughty Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. My husband chose to be Joe Dirt, wearing a torn sleeved flannel shirt and ragged blue jeans.

Sitting there on the second floor of Buffalo Wild Wings in downtown Greenville, we were able to overlook the Mardi Gras-like streets. Some costumes people wore were very original, while others were traditional witches and pirates, sexy and flashy, nurses and clowns.

No matter what people say, you are never to old to stop enjoying Halloween! I have compiled a list of top costumes for 2006. If you are like me, it’s hard to decide what I want to dress up as. Hopefully this list will help you as much as it is helping me.

For women, Batgirl, Betty Boop, and a lacey black pirate outfit round out the top costumes for this year. Marilyn Monroe and Queen of Hearts are also going to be popular. The Queen of Hearts costume is a high collar black dress with a black and white striped top with the seams outlined in red. There are also red hearts running up and down the white stripes of the top. The skirt is black, with a feather ruffle around the bottom. Matching card stockings and a jeweled crown are also features of this costume. If you choose to bare some skin and legs this Halloween, sexy Wonderwoman and Policewomen costumes are going to be all over the streets. The Wonderwoman outfit resembles a mini-dress with a red velvet halter top and attached blue mini-skirt with white stars. It also includes a red cape, sliver gauntlets, gold belt, gold tiara, and red velvet boot tops with white vinyl accents.
