Let’s go from couture to campy for just a moment here, while I briefly reminisce and get psyched for Halloween season. From time to time I visit my parents in the Poconos…and at least once a year I try to make a stop at Frazetta’s Fantasy Costumes.![\"\"](\"http:\/\/petephillipsonline.com\/fashionvandals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/fra1.jpg\" "\\"fra1\\"")
Does the name Frazetta sound familiar to you? This year-round costume shop is owned by the son of\u00a0sci-fi and\u00a0fantasy artist, Frank Frazetta, whose paintings you might recognize below.![\"\"](\"http:\/\/petephillipsonline.com\/fashionvandals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/fra3.jpg\" "\\"fra3\\"")
Does it seem a little cheezy that I’m talking about a costume shop on my fashion blog? Well, while this year I visited the shop to pick up\u00a0supplies for my Halloween costume, back in high school it was an entirely different story.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I was too young to walk out of the house in loud clothes and colored hair without my mom flipping out, but I desperately wanted to look as badass as the girls at the punk shows I’d go to, with their colored tri-hawks and liberty spikes. So I’d blow all the cash from my part-time job at Frazetta’s, on colored wigs and\u00a0fake eyelashes, and sneak them on once I’d left the house.![\"\"](\"http:\/\/petephillipsonline.com\/fashionvandals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/fra2.jpg\" "\\"fra2\\"")
<\/a>But this time around I made my splurge on a hefty amount of high-grade, theater quality face makeup. And I’d love to say what my Halloween costume will be, but I think it’s best left as a surprise. Let’s just say it will be elegant, grand, andstylishly sinister…in true Fashion Vandals style.<\/p>\n<\/a>If you’d like to find out any more about the costume shop, check their website<\/a>. It’s got so much more character than those cookie cutter seasonal\u00a0costume shops that pop up around this time of year.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
