green man suit »

It’s Earth Day 2012, and even though according to the Mayan’s we’re all screwed in a matter of months, I am still doing what I can to help save the Earth just in case we’re all still here December 22nd.

Even though my kids are little I try to teach them about the importance of recycling, how we can conserve energy, and the importance of doing what we can to reduce our carbon footprint.

Since my kids are all pretty little, this can occasionally be a challenge. I was happy, however, recently when they asked to plant trees after seeing The Lorax. It was great to see them take away a positive message from the film because we had a different result after watching the popular Disney movie, WALL-E, when my then three year old son said that he, “wanted to hurry up and cover the Earth in trash so we could blast off in rockets and live in outer space with robots.”

*Sigh*

Kids can be so literal sometimes. So I try to get literal with my message of going GREEN.

Of course this suit offers multiple uses and can be worn with just about anything, anywhere:

After my last post, showing off my super pale skin in an actual bathing suit (which proves I officially have no shame left), an outfit like this helps prevent sun damage and sunburns. It’s got 10,000% UV protection, plus I think I sweat off about 10lbs when I was wearing it (#winning).

Anyway, in honor of Earth Day, I’m recycling these Green Mom photos which, if you’ve been following me a while, may look familiar.

Are you one of those people who has to have a unique one-of-a-kind Halloween costume for yourself every year? Do you try to top and outdo your costumes from previous years? Do you want to be the only one wearing that costume on Halloween?

Well, I’ve come across a few costumes that you’re sure not to find at any costume shop and you probably won’t see worn by anyone else at any Halloween festivities.

1. The Vagina Heads. Now, I have no idea who these women are or what they hell they are doing, but when I found and posted this picture on my 5 Unconventional Sex-Ed Methods , many of you immediately thought of Halloween…and I couldn’t agree more. I’d be willing to bet that if you’re out at a Halloween party, doing a spooky bar loop, or participating in a costume contest, that you most likely will not be seeing any other Va-jay-jay heads bobbing around….at least I hope not!

I wish I knew what this was from so badly! Are they a singing trio? A stage troop? Sex Ed counselors? Whatever it is, I bet it's funny as hell!

2. Go as a Fashion Statement….or a giant walking Merkin. You all know how I feel about some of the hottest Fall Fashion Trends this year (even after trying some on and nearly being arrested by the Fashion Police), but somehow I missed this little gem. This one, which hogwild.net says is called simply “70′s Bush,” will surely be a one of a kind this Halloween. Retro is so in, and who wouldn’t want to spend a night walking around like a giant, overgrown patch of pubic hair.

Look out....she's gone native...real native.

3. Saddle up and ride. Get this little number along with a cowboy hat and you could go Western. After all it’s not the size of the horse….Yee-haw! This costume hails from Japan, but I doubt you’ll see many of these trotting around elsewhere.

Howdy, cowboy.

4. Franken-bear. Now designer, Sebastian E. clearly marches to the beat of his own drum, and probably didn’t intend for this to be a Halloween costume, but I can’t imagine doing much other than scaring the shit out of people with this bear coat. Don’t worry my animal loving friends, I’m pretty sure it’s faux fur.

Forget Halloween, I hope I get this bear coat for Christmas.

5. Shithead. No explanation necessary.

In case you weren't offended enough by the Vagina hats....

6. Can’t get a sitter for Halloween festivities and are involving the kids too? Use this (for real) baby carrier Snuggie thing (as seen in my horrible gifts for babies) and stay warm while terrifying anyone you come into contact with!

7. Go green. No not eco-friendly, go in my personal favorite, the Green Man suit. I’ve worn this little number on several occasions, even in public, and it’s sure to surprise, scare and baffle the masses.

This was the first time I wore a bikini in seven years and based on all the looks I got, I think I was looking good...looking real good.
