It’s never too early to begin thinking about the perfect costume for Halloween, is it? Halloween Express has every possible Halloween costume under the sun … or moon, as it were.

From Biblical to Midieval and Childrens to Adults - they have all bases covered when it comes to finding the perfect Halloween costume for October.. or whenever else you find the need for a costume.

From the Halloween Express site:

By leveraging the huge buying power of over 150 seasonal retail halloween costume and costume accessory store locations we’re able to offer the absolute largest selection of costumes and related costume accessories you’ll find online anywhere.

They have everything from the costume, itself, to the make up, props, decorations, hats, wigs, masks, and other accessories to make your costume the best one of the night! I went through their costume collection and already chose mine for the next time I may need one (which hasn’t been for a LONG while, but ya never know!):

That’s right! I would go as one of my favorite childhood group games.. Twister. How great are those boots?

Check out their: Adult Costumes, Kids Costumes, Accessories and Make Up, Hats, Wigs and Masks, Decorations and Props and Pet Costumes… Yep! A Costume for your PET!

They also have a very sexy, very exclusive Leg Avenue Collection - that have a … well, very sexy flair!

One really nice feature of their website is when you click on a costume to look at it - - they also give you some great recommendations on what accessories, props, decorations and make up pieces would go really great with that costume — which helps you create a great look, in the end. Overall, very fun stuff!

T-shirt line from One Night Stand Outfitters including vintage style t-shirts that range from stylish, to funny, and offensive.

They have a pretty cool selection of t-shirts. They’re also running a very cool contest where you can send in a picture of yourself wearing one of their t-shirts and they’ll enter you in their monthly drawing. Every month they’ll choose their favorite customer photo and the winner will receive a free t-shirt of their choice! That’s not bad - especially if you happen to be the winner, eh?

One Night Stand Outfitters have a good selection - but they also give you a preview of upcoming t-shirt designs and give you the option to sign up to be on their email notification list so that you’re notified anytime a new design goes on sale.

Looks like most of their T-Shirts go for $19.99 for both men’s and women’s t-shirts. I browsed through their collection - their sizes are Small, Medium and Large. Sorry gals - no XL shirts to be used for PJ’s - - or for that XL guy in your life.

Here’s a deal for ya: 20% OFF Purchases of $50 or Greater! Use coupon code: 9cymh2sv

They’re even hiring. Currently they are looking for T-Shirt designers, and female t-shirt models in Southern California and the Philadelphia areas.

Who’s behind the company? From their own website:

One Night Stand Outfitters had a simple beginning. After a few days of debauchery in Las Vegas, a few college buddies were drinking away the hangovers at a bar in Californnia. As they finished the latest round of Jager Bombs, a local walked into the bar wearing a simple t-shirt reading “Trust Me, I’m a Doctor.” It was with this that One Night Stand Outfitters was born. The half-hammered guys wondered how such a phenomenally lame t-shirt could be printed and sold.

The guys set out to make great clothing for all occassions. Are the t-shirts offensive? Probably. Are the t-shirts funny? We think so. Should you buy one for your mother? Probably not.

All One Night Stand Outfitters t-shirts are made with American Apparel t-shirts, which are some of the highest quality, most comfortable t-shirts available anywhere.

Introduction to CustomInk - from their own website:

At CustomInk.com, the web’s most advanced virtual store for custom decorated merchandise, customers are empowered to design and order customized apparel, drinkware and novelties for their businesses, teams, groups and events with greater ease, speed and value than ever before. With our patent-pending technology, dedicated staff and problem-solving mindset, we’re changing the way custom merchandise is designed, bought and produced.

CustomInk is addressing all aspects of the market for custom merchandise - from product selection to trademark usage - in order to create the ultimate custom merchandise experience for customers. In the process, we’re creating enormous opportunities for small businesses, corporations, colleges and universities, national fraternities and sororities, student fundraisers, vendors and sponsors.

This is really a great idea. I would love to see CustomInk expand on their Custom T-Shirts website by allowing users to sell products on their own websites. For instance, if I made up some “Uptown Girls” shirts and mechandise at their site — I could have a CustomInk gallery to send my readers to, where they can download and purchase the merchandise that I’ve created for my readers. That sounds eeerily like CafePress, I know - - but hey, competition ain’t a bad thing, foks - - it keeps the other guy alert and hungry, eh?
