An Eggcellent few weeks as Easter approaches!

 

Easter is coming folks, the Daffodils have sprung and we have fought off the worst of the winter’s cold.  Spring is such a happy time of the year and we break free from the fiery warmth of the Duvet and start to leave our thick coats at home to welcome the new season.

What we love to see at this special time of year is the new life popping up everywhere you go. Especially in our beautiful countryside, like the gorgeous new born lambs, who I caught standing up for the first time just last week on the fantastic Rutland Waters edge, it really was a very special moment.  Furthermore the rabbits too, which seem to want to come out and play in the garden after hiding underground for most of the winter.

2012 To 2013 Is Going To Be The Biggest Year For Superhero Movies Ever

Who doesn’t want to be a superhero? There are now so many to choose from that we’re spoilt for choice. 2012 to 2013 will be the biggest year for superhero movies ever, and we’ve got the costumes for you to turn up to the premiers in.

The Dark Knight Rises is the latest instalment of the new Batman films starring Christian Bale as Batman, directed by Christopher Nolan. This film sees the return of The League Of Shadows who are attempting to destroy Gotham because they believe it is beyond saving, unlike Batman, who is convinced he can save the city given enough time.

Fancy Dress Shack has one of the most authentic Batman costumes available in the new film series style. These costumes are great to wear to the movie, you can sneak up to someone and whisper ‘I’m Batman!’ to give them a real fright.

The Avengers is another big superhero film out this year, and we’ve got loads of costumes for people to dress up in. Our children’s costumes are the best for superheroes, because every boy wants to be Iron Man while he’s growing up.

The Amazing Spiderman will have every man and boy jumping everywhere he goes just to try and be a little like the webslinger, but our costumes are a much easier way of becoming your favourite superhero.

More superhero films that are still on the way include a new Wolverine, superman: Man Of Steel, and a new Fantastic Four film. Costumes for all of these films can be found on FancyDressShack.co.uk, don’t bother with the high street shops because they’re always more expensive.

Beauty and the Beast Fancy Dress

Sooooo exciting, the new edition of Beauty and the Beast is here, and in 3D at that!

I am so glad the children of now will see this classic again.

I absolutely adored this film when I was a child, all the crockery and household items breaking into chorus to sing their famous musicals, such as their wonderful Be Our Guest.

Does it flood back memories for you too? It certainly does for me, back when we had VHS videos and the equivalent of 3D was a live musical, or am I just old?

When I was younger we all wanted to be Belle, helping the lonely beast and turning down the arrogant Gaston. Continue reading

World Book day is up and coming, what are the youth of our nation going to do about it?

We as adults either love to read a novel or bypass this for television. Personally, I love a good book, on holiday or at home, I will always be reading something.  I will never forget the feeling of completing a good book; you just want the story to continue.

What is important is we do not forget to pass this choice on to our nation’s youth,  giving them the chance to enjoy the pleasures of great books.  This is how World Book Day came around and it is now celebrated in over 100 Counties, still I think it is not nearly as famous as it should be.

For 2012 World Book Day has been supported by some great authors who have created a small range of books for just £1 allowing everyone Continue reading

The Valentines Day Superheroes: Fancy Dress Shack – Saving you from bad choices.

Happy new year!  How is it already past Christmas I here you ask?  Well, I do not know how it happened either. All I know is that it’s way to cold to trick myself into thinking summer is getting closer.

So, new year, new start, new Valentines Day worries.  Firstly the over indulgence of Christmas pudding   currently resting on our stomachs needs to be removed, for me this will be by fierce avoidance of the kitchen after 7pm and monumental workouts for at least the rest of January. This is in preparation for the next big event, Valentines Day 2012 of course! The wonder and amazement starts to creep in to my head now, because how on earth can I do and wear something brilliant that my partner will like?
