Have a Plum Spooky Halloween

Mickie_G by Mickie_G

For Halloween This Year, I'm Going To Be Stephanie Plum!

Do you just love Janet Evanovich and her entertaining, suspenseful Stephanie Plum books? Well, be original and be a character from one of the Stephanie Plum books!

You could be Stephanie--that would be easy to pull off. Make sure you get a curly dark wig!

What about Lula? How much fun could you have with that?

Even a Grandma Mazur costume would be hilarious!

Ranger would be such an easy costume to build. And guess what? I show you how.

Want to be Joe? Well, if you are an Italian hunky kind of guy with a golden retriever who can "toot" on cue, then don't need to buy a thing for your Halloween costume!

Just who is Stephanie Plum

"Working-class Jersey girl and former lingerie buyer STEPHANIE PLUM is a bond bailsma-er-bailsperson, working out of the blue collar "burg" in Trenton, New Jersey, where "houses and minds are proud to be narrow". And family ties tend to strangle. Rather than move in with her parents (and Grandma), she goes to work for her cousin Vinnie, the bail bondsman. And let's get it straight--Stephanie isn't exactly the toughest thing on earth, or even New Jersey.

As she puts it, "I don't look at all like George Foreman. I'm more like Wonder Woman with a B-cup."
Stephanie Plum described on "Thrilling Detective"

Image found I know not where--if you know, please tell me.

Here's how to build the best Stephanie Plum Inspired Halloween costume ever?

Bounty Hunter Costumes -- How Cheesy!

Stephanie has competition in this business!

Since Stephanie is a bounty hunter in the Janet Evanovich Numbers mysteries, thought I would put generic costumes here as well. You could just add a brown curly wig and you would have Stephanie Plum at your Halloween Party.

Oh, so Lula!

You could be Lula for Halloween if you are so inclined.

Lula is: A large beautiful lady in Spandex and leather over tight pants. She Must have a huge purse for the Glock and snacks from Cluck in a Bucket.

But who IS Lula, really: "Name: Lula Height: 5' 5" Hair: Blonde, no red, no brown, it all looks good on me Eyes: Brown Job History: 'Ho, file clerk, part time bounty hunter." (from Janet Evanovich's website)

"Lula was introduced as a minor character working as a hooker in the first book in the series, One For the Money. In Two For the Dough, she becomes Vinnie's filing clerk and Stephanie's sometimes partner. Stephanie refers to her as a plus-sized black woman who attempts to shove a size 16 body into size 10 spandex. " (From Wikipedia)

Below you can find some Clothing and Accessory items that would just thrill Lula:

Lula in "Smokin' Seventeen"!

Stephanie Plum's Partner in Crime!

In the 2011 Stephanie Plum mystery, Smokin' Seventeen, we first see Lula in this outfit. See if you can carry it off for Halloween.

I even included a copy of the 2011 Evanovich book, too. You can bone up.

What Bounty Hunter Video Games would you play on Halloween?

Perhaps you are having a "Come as a Bounty Hunter" theme! Party!

If you know of a great video game about Bounty Hunters, add it here.

Dress like Grandma Mazur for Halloween:

Ok, so a gray wig is obvious. Add a house dress and a handgun. Then one must have a big bag to carry the gun--see thru so the gun can be seen! Grandma Mazur has no secrets.

Make it yourself Halloween projects for a Stephanie Plum Halloween Party:

Add your own!

Please excuse the picture of the car on fire, but I just had to put one on this lens. If you are a follower of Stephanie Plum, you will know that almost every car she owns or borrows ends up on fire somewhere in the book. The image is from Flickr user Elsie.

OK, now, for your party, you will need a coffin of some kind for Grandma Mazur--remember, she loves to go to funerals! Here is a funny one you could get (just click the image to buy it):

Spooky Scenes Coffin Couch Cover



A cookie jar with a gun in it, is another idea for a prop.

For food you need fried chicken, pizza, beer and donuts. You can order pizza from a local store (Costco has great deals). Buy beer and donuts, too. If you do not have a "Cluck In a Bucket" near you, KFC would be acceptable!

And do not forget cake! Stephanie's favorite dessert!
