Disney-Pixar’s Up is less than a month away from premiering (May 29th in Disney Digital 3-D)! If you liked Monster’s Inc., brace yourself: Up is directed by the same guy, Pete Docter. I have a feeling it’s going to be absolutely hilarious and completely darling. How could it not be? Duh, I’m obsessed with the characters already and, as you know, I’m always looking for an excuse to dress up. If you’re like me and/or you’re just super-excited for a new Pixar movie, you should check out my Dress Like Carl Fredricksen from Disney-Pixar’s UP shopping guide. This outfit’s great for opening night at the movies, Halloween, a Pixar theme party, or just for fun. Obviously, the main character is MALE, but the products in my guide are all women’s apparel and accessories (i.e. a pre-tied bow tie). It’s really cute, you’ll see.

See my other “Dress Like” guides at the links below. There’s definitely going to be more of these in the future! If you have any ideas for a fun character dress-up, let me know and I’ll shop for you!

Pinocchio has got to be the cutest Disney character ever created. Seventy years ago, Pinoc, Geppetto, Jiminy, and the rest of the endearing movie characters made their debut in Walt Disney’s second animated feature, Pinocchio (after Snow White’s debut in 1937). The upcoming March 10th release of the 70^th Anniversary Platinum Edition DVD inspired me to think of a new party theme idea. Decorate your space like Geppetto’s puppet shop with Italian food and red apples, cuckoo clocks, magical Blue Fairy glitter, and plastic Pinoc noses and key chains for everyone! (Or take it to Pleasure Island with amusement park décor, Pin the Tail on the Donkey games, cotton candy, casino games, and candy cigars.)

Either way, if the hostess with the mostess decides to dress the part of darling Pinocchio, she can’t forget a black vest, blue bow tie, and red shorts! And of course, the movie must be playing all night on repeat! Check out my Pinocchio Style Guide on Kazowie.com for more fashion and party ideas!
