Be the most famous monster this Halloween: be.... the COOKIE MONSTER

I confess to be the greatest fan of Jim Henson (specially his movies) and the Muppets and Sesame Street... I can´t help to feel nostalgic but they have become part of our culture, our memories and we should keep them alive for future children...  Oh yes I got moody...

but well what counts is that Halloween is close... time for MONSTERS.... isn´t it?

and who is cooler as the.... COOKIE MONSTER? And such an easy costume too and the good thing is that the key is to keep it simple.

For the lazy ones you can find a wealth of them already made in ebay ranging from very cheap to deluxe costume mascot editions.Cooking monster costumes in ebay
