It’s Halloween time in Houston again and kids of all ages are primed for candy, parties, and frights.
Random Halloween stores began popping up all over town in disused retail strip centers around late August and everywhere you look there are pumpkins, paper skeletons, and cavity-giving candy tempting us at every turn.
Each year there are hot costumes that everyone will be donning. This year will be a big year for little girls to become their favorite characters from "Frozen," while once again zombies and zombie hunters will remain the norm for adults.
Houston pop-culture is rife with Halloween costume ideas, from our bearded sports stars to our favorite politicians.
Here are just a few Houston-centric Halloween costume ideas if you find yourself tapped out of creativity this year.
Just a tip: steer clear of Ebola-related costumes, unless you want to end up on the news. Stick with fun stuff like the lady with three breasts (it was a hoax) or Zombie Abe Lincoln, which is always hilarious.

Several women that meet weekly at Denver United
Several women that meet weekly at Denver United Methodist Church have made a global impact with their sewing machines.
Church members Faye Helton, Jean Durham, Connie Berry, Wanda Reynolds, Judy Martin and Margaret Reep came together in May of 2011 after seeing a dress pattern on a television show. With that dress pattern, they’ve impacted men, women and children in the countries of Haiti, Armenia, China, Belize, India, Peru, Honduras and Guatemala and in various countries in Africa.
lingerie wholesalers“There’s a show on television called ‘Nancy’s Notions,’” Reynolds said. “And they were talking about these little dresses. So we got the pattern and started making the dresses.”
“We did pillow cases for another group,” Helton said.
The small sewing group gets the fabric for the dresses mainly from donations, although some of the trim and incidental sewing needs that are required to complete the dresses are out-of-pocket expenses. To date, the ladies of Denver United Methodist Church have sewn 47 shirts, 60 pants and 1,650 dresses. The dresses are donated for mission trips for various churches in Lincoln County and the surrounding area.
“If we hear of someone going on a mission trip,” Reynolds said, “not necessarily from our church, then Faye talks to them or we talk to them and tell them that we have these little dresses that we will give to them for no charge.”
The standard number of dresses any group takes usually runs between 20 and 25, but there are large orders.
“We’ve sent out up to 100,” Helton said.
The group has an efficient assembly line. One woman cuts the pattern while another irons the fabric to prepare the dress for sewing. Another woman adds trim and yet another laces the elastic. Dress sizes run small, medium and large.
“The large can fit a small adult,” Durham said. “And we’ve made special requests before.”
The women are passionate about their work and have gone to great lengths to make sure their mission remains intact.
Helton and Reynolds have traversed through large containers full of bolts of fabric and the entire group will pay out of pocket to make sure all of the items required to make the dresses are available. The church donates finances to the cause and they have a few patrons, but the women are always on the lookout for any help they can get to help the little girls around the world that wear their dresses.
The group meets on Mondays from 9 a.m.–noon at Denver United Methodist Church at 3910 Highway 16 in Denver.
Donations of fabric, materials or finances should be sent to the church.

Rah Digga Says Iggy Azalea Isn't Hip Hop
Rah Digga Says Iggy Azalea Isn't Hip Hop
Rah Digga addresses relationship with Busta Rhymes, offers advice to Remy Ma.
Iggy Azalea, Nicki Minaj, and Remy Ma were among the artists discussed during Rah Digga’s recent interview with ThisIs50 Radio.
The Newark, New Jersey rapper revealed that Iggy Azalea is an artist she can’t get into and doesn’t consider Hip Hop. While addressing Iggy, Rah Digga even referenced an Australian female rapper by the name of Chelsea Jane who does rap in an Australian accent.
“Iggy Azalea it’s like I can’t get into her,” Rah Digga said in the interview. “Because it’s just not real to me…There is a white girl from Australia that spits in an Australian accent, and her name is Chelsea Jane. That I can get into. Teach me Australian Hip Hop culture. Don’t come to America and try to convince me that you’re Gangsta Boo…Personally, I don’t consider her Hip Hop. I listen to her album. Everything that I hear on there is everything but that. And I feel like Hip Hop is Hip Hop.”
In regards to Remy Ma, who was released from prison weeks ago, Rah Digga says she hopes Remy does her research and doesn’t rely solely on what she’s heard on the radio.
“I think she’s on a good path,” Digga said. “I think she definitely needs to just do a little homework and kind of like get on these blogs and internet and really see what’s out there…I’ve heard her say she got to listen to the radio while she was in jail. And I feel like listening to the radio by itself will make you think like ‘Oh, that’s all? That’s my competition? I’m straight.’ I don’t think she’s really aware of how much dopeness is out there…If I was her I wouldn’t try to jump in the Barbie box.”
Rah Digga was also questioned about her relationship with Busta Rhymes during her interview with ThisIs50 Radio. According to the rapper, the two artists are cool with one another, but don’t communicate that often.
The former Flipmode Squad lyricist then offered her insight into why Busta doesn’t seem to stay with a label or crew for too long.
“I mean we cool. We not BFFs,” she said. “I definitely reached out with the passing of his father. We don’t really communicate like that. It’s all love…I’ll say this about Busta. He’s very driven. And I think the problem with Busta is if anything I think he just doesn’t have enough confidence in his self to really like be that machine and go for it. Really establish your own brand like that. I mean, we did it with Flipmode and we bounced through a couple of situations. And I can’t say everything was Busta’s fault because at the end of the day everybody had to hold they own. I didn’t wait for Busta.”
Lastly, Rah Digga rattled down the list of projects she’s currently working on.
“Working on a few different things,” Digga said. “I’m working on a three song Hip-House EP. I’m working on an actual live band EP with a live band. Like seven, eight joints. Just something I thought of. A nice, little creative twist for me. And the Hip Hop of course. I got a [blend] tape on the way. And I also have an album on the way. So, the stuff that I been leaking is—Are things that’s gonna be a part of the album.”

What You Need to Know About Halloween Costume Flammability
What You Need to Know About Halloween Costume FlammabilityWhat You Need to Know About Halloween Costume Flammability
Glowing jack-o-lanterns and candle decor are synonymous with Halloween, but with them come some serious fire risks. And when you add costumed children to the mix, the
dangers compound. Flowy princess dresses and long superhero capes can easily brush by a flame and accidentally catch fire.
Here at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, we tested the flammability of eight sure-to-be-popular kids’ costumes because they contain what we have found in the
past to be risks, like glitter and long, dangling fabrics. To make sure your Halloween stays fun and safe, read this before you buy your child’s costume.
How We Tested
All clothing — not just children’s costumes — must pass CFR 1610, the legal standard for clothing flammability. Following this standard, we placed swatches of
fabric in a 45 degree Flammability Test Chamber to measure how quickly a flame spreads up a five-inch length. Watch how it works:
What We Found
In our tests, the Barbie Royal Party Princess (6657 by Disguise*) flat out failed. Flames traveled up its olefin lining faster than the 3.5 second minimum. Three other
costumes — Twinkle Witch (883153 by Rubie’s) and two Disney Frozen Elsas (76906 and 56998 by Disguise) — all passed, but had flames that spread alarmingly fast
given that many fabrics we tested did not ignite at all. The remaining four costumes — Disney Frozen Anna (57005 by Disguise), Disney Snow White (59213 by Disguise),
Sparkle Witch (3321 by Living Fiction Studios), and Soul Taker (00354 by California Costumes) — all passed, and either did not ignite or ignited but self-
extinguished.
What to Know to Stay Safe
Just because a fabric passes the Federal flammability standard does not mean it’s flame resistant. The requirement is based on how quickly the flame spreads (a
minimum of 3.5 seconds) and does not take into account the size of the flame. Unfortunately, there’s no way to tell if a fabric will be flammable just by looking at
it, but to be on the safe side, follow these tips:
• Look for costumes made from 100% synthetic fibers like nylon or polyester.
• Avoid glitter. It tends to be more flammable, though some glitter passed our test.
• Skip capes, trains, and dangling sleeves. These can not only drag and graze a lit jack-o-lantern on someone’s front porch, but also pose a tripping hazard.
• Use caution when creating DIY costumes. Stick with polyester, nylon, wool, and acrylic fabrics and make sure the costumes are not loose-fitting. Don’t use materials
made of natural fibers, such as cotton balls.
• Opt for battery-operated candles instead of lit ones for pumpkins.
• Never leave candles or lit pumpkins unattended in your home or near a walking path.

crawling with little trick-or-treaters dressed as Rocket Raccoon, and every grown-up party will feature at least two Draxes, a Star-Lord and a Gamora.
But few of them will be able to hold a candle to this Groot costume created by Calen Hoffman. The photos show the work in progress, which will likely clue in
