Ben Cooper things of interest...

So yeah, I'm a terrible blogger. I missed an entire year. Life gets in the way sometimes, especially when you have like 10 blogs...

Anyway, another Halloween season is upon us! I recently came across a couple of links that I thought were interesting, and first is this new book. I just ordered it. It's pretty expensive($30 plus $10 to ship--I mean, media rate should only cost like $4, as I ship my books all the time but I'm interested enough that I'm biting the bullet on it)

This link will show you some pics plus has the link to order the book:

The same web site has this cool list of what they think is the coolest Ben Cooper costumes ever. Not sure I'd agree with the order, but many of those are my favorites(and I owned quite a few as a kid).

And finally is this article from last year about adult-sized Ben Cooper costumes. I've never heard of these, nor seen them so I'm curious if anybody else has. I'm going to go check into it. I'd love an adult Spidey, Mummy, and a couple of others.

Anyway, hope to post a couple more posts before this year's Halloween hits.
