Ah, Harley. We all know how she loves her Mr. J, so is it really surprising that when he creates controversy over his costume, she would too?

Oh boy, this is a can of worms if there ever was one.

I still remember when the first look of Jared Leto’s Suicide Squad Joker costume was officially released, it damn near broke the internet with the way it ditched the classic costume and appearance for a more…”interesting” look.

No, Suicide Squad costumes are not going to be the defining factor for one of the most awaited comic-based movies of the decade.  I don’t need to tell you that thanks to Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman, the future of the DCEU now rests on the shoulder of a ragtag film about ragtag people with their ragtag costumes.  But unlike cherished superhero costumes, most of the villains in this movie are hardly recognizable to the general public.

You may have seen some of the criticism of Disney Princess costumes online lately.  After being the most cherished of Disney’s classic characters, Disney princesses are the subject of a hot debate between franchise fans and critics who claim Disney princesses are bad role models to girls.  Apparently, Disney princess costumes are inspiring little girls in the wrong way.  Though there are opinions in support of the Disney princesses, social media and the internet are trending against girls wearing Disney princess costumes.  According to these critics, Disney’s movie formula for princess stories always positions the female lead character as a helpless “damsel in distress” that needs to be rescued by a male figure.  That may explain why Disney has released titles such as Brave, where the protagonist princess (Merida) is an independent, bold, self-sufficient female who chooses her own destiny.  Not long after, Disney’s epic hit, Frozen, featured Elsa as the strong-willed princess (counterpart to her sister Anna) who proved that a prince charming is not needed in a successful Disney princess story.  Still, Merida and Elsa are not enough to sway the mind of the Disney critics who are voicing their strong opinion about Disney princess costumes online.  After all, Disney built an empire on the damsel in distress formula and only now are people able to engage in open debate thanks to the miracle of the internet and social media.

The secret to finding cheap costumes online is not as simple as conducting a search on Google.  That’s no secret at all, that’s the obvious.  And though that is probably what got you here (unless you saw our post on social media), most of the time a search for cheap costumes online will land you endless results from different companies trying to tell you that they have the cheapest costumes of all.  If you are a Halloween shopper you probably have to take their word and pay whatever amount you find most reasonable for a costume that you want—assuming that you are not settling for an unwanted outfit based on price.  Now, no offense to you, but Halloween consumers tend to be procrastinators, so you probably don’t have time to explore the entire web before opting to pull out your wallet.
