The Halloween Costume Tradition

The annual Halloween costume frenzy starts at the beginning of October when avid Halloween lovers are on the search for that unique costume. Everyone wants something that no one else is wearing or has that special wow factor. Some are skilled enough to make their own costumes. Others search the stores or the internet for something spectacular. Often, the kids themes revolve around the popular movie that year or a favorite show they watch. The simple costumes are easy to find anywhere but the better ones require some research. The fun is all in getting to be someone else for a day, something we rarely get to do.

Some costume themes have been around for so long and will probably never go out of style. No year goes by that people don't dress up as a ghost, a witch, a devil or a vampire, as these themes are directly associated with the spooky Halloween theme. Then you have all the usual sports costumes, costumes of famous people, and some themes that have stayed popular for decades, like Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny or Sesame Street Characters.

Often, adult women would like to find a sexy costume; something attention grabbing. Most of the traditional costumes hide the body. There are a few out there that are sexy - a cat costume or a toga. One long time favorite sexy costume, dating all the way back to the 1960s is the playboy bunny costume. Playboy has been popular for so long that everyone knows the name and the name is synonymous with being sexy.

The costume was inspired by the actual uniform that was worn by Playboy Bunnies who worked in the Playboy Club. They served cocktails to the club customers in their own unique bunny style. There was rigorous training involved in becoming a Playboy Bunny. There were different types of bunnies working in the club: the Floor Bunny, the Playmate Bunny, the Door Bunny, the Cigarette Bunny and Jet Bunnies. They had to walk, bend down, a serve in a certain, sexy Playboy bunny style. The outfit they wore was the very first work uniform to be patented in the United States. The costume consisted of a corset-like bodice, fishnet stockings, a bunny tail and ears, and high heels. The Playboy Club was created by Hugh Hefner, the creator and owner of Playboy Magazine, an internationally recognized brand catering to men. It was the first magazine of its kind to display a sexy centerfold woman in the nude. It's logo was a tuxedo wearing bunny and this was the inspiration for the Playboy Bunny outfit, which carried out the tuxedo and bunny theme.

The Playboy Bunny costume is not so different from its original style although a few modifications have taken place over the years to reflect modern fashion. It still includes stockings and high heels. The tail has gotten smaller over time. There are several different versions of the official licensed Playboy Bunny Costume, many of which carry out the tuxedo theme in their styling. Many companies have created their own takes on this costume, but they are not official licensed costumes.
