If you are newly single or Single-Again, take advantage of the fun (and mystery) at a costume party to explore and flaunt the new you.
The first thing to remember is not to go overboard. Dressing in a barely-there costume will certainly attract attention, but shows little thought to going beyond that. You are in control of your life and that needs to show. Don’t be a push over. And don’t advertise all of your inventory.
That being said, you are sexy! And wouldn’t you like someone to notice that?
Think of the kind of person you want to attract. What kind of things will get their specific attention? If you’re a newly single woman who likes handy, do-it-yourself kind of guys, why not try this. Dress in suede or brown leather (and show some skin). Make sure you have loops or pockets where you can stuff larger than life tools like hammers and such. Then when a guy asks you what you’re supposed to be, you can reply, “I’m a tool belt. Wear me around your waist and use me to fix all of your problems.” This can also work for guys, if they’re searching for a woman with repair skills.
A little too much for you? Here’s one for either a lady or a Single-Again man. How about a fire engine red chef’s 
uniform with this written across the front – “Specializing in hot and spicy dishes.” Not quite as bold, but it still has a kick.
Or go the intellectual route and have fun with your circumstance. Dress as the Statue of Liberty (even a guy can do this, although he may get some confused looks), that will announce your availability like nothing else. And there will be plenty of people flocking to make their home with you.
Dress as a math equation (white outfit with black numerals and letters written on you or a big sign attached to you). Then state, ‘If you can figure me out, I will become your theory of love.” Just a little bit cheesy, but still fun.
The important thing is to laugh, have a blast and remember how attractive and fun you are. Start your newly single life on the right foot and you’re sure to be in for a thrill ride.
Manitou Springs, Colorado on October 24th. This annual event commemorates the untimely death of good old Emma, who supposedly haunts the town. There’s even a completely bizarre coffin race where racers push their coffin with “Emma” inside up main street.
