The Bachelor Stages a Hometown Play…in Costume!

bachelor costume The Bachelor Stages a Hometown Play...in Costume!

ABC’s The Bachelor traveled to Sonoma, California, for the 2nd episode of its 16th season as Ben enlisted the help of 12 of his prospective partners to put on a play written by 5th and 7th grade kids at the local Community Theater.

You can check out the whole episode here but believe us when we tell you that one of the best segments of this week’s show were the costumes of “Prince Pinot of Bachelorville.”

We saw Jenna as a Wizard, Jaclyn as a Princess, Jennifer as a Weasel, Blakeley as a Gingerbread Woman, Monica as a Dragon, Samantha as a Sexy Miss Piggy, Nicki as a Donkey and others as a Tree, Hippie, Valley Girl and in Renaissance Maiden outfits.

Ben pulled double duty as both a Sheep and the title Prince, also incorporating some Knight armor into his disguise.

For all the Medieval, Animal, 1960s and 1980s looks, this episode was well worth checking out! Want to put together your own Bachelor-themed costume party? Choose from the links above or images below and cast the starring roles…just don’t forget a Rose for the Best Actress!

Alice in Wonderland Party at the White House…Hid from Public Knowledge?

depp madhatter Alice in Wonderland Party at the White House...Hid from Public Knowledge?

Just in time for the Presidential Election later this year, word has come out that the First Family had a lavish Alice in Wonderland-themed celebration in 2009 that was kept under wraps out of fear that it would upset those folks struggling through a widespread recession.

The story was first reported in this New York post article and is fully documented in the upcoming book The Obamas.

Tim Burton decorated the State Room, Johnny Depp appeared in full costume as the Mad Hatter, the Obamas’ daughters enjoyed a magic show and Star Wars mastermind George Lucas even sent Chewbacca to stand guard, presumably if the Secret Service had their hands full at any point.

So what do you think…does the White House have the right to hold private, perhaps secret soirees like this during such hard times for the rest of the country?  Or is the media just blowing it out of proportion, as they have been known to do every now and again!

One thing’s for sure, you don’t have to be invited to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to participate in an Alice in Wonderland disguise affair.  Take a look at these costumes and host your own Tea Party whenever you want:

Napoleon Dynamite Coming to FOX TV…Special Event on Hollywood Blvd.!

When we heard the cast and creators of the New FOX Animated Series Napoleon Dynamite were having a special event at Hollywood and Highland, we had show up and shoot some videos for anyone who couldn’t be there!

It was a really fun time with Free T-shirts, Free Quesadillas & Tater Tots, Arts & Crafts for the Kids and a Character Sound-a-like contest.  Tina the Llama was there and Uncle Rico’s Van was parked on Hollywood Blvd.  Everything got us really excited for the show’s premiere on January 15.

Here are the YouTube videos we took:

Now that you’ve seen some of what went on, take a look at our Napoleon Dynamite Costume and Mask to celebrate the return of Idaho’s most unusual high school student – this time to the small screen! Gosh!
