cupid History & Costumes

In Greek mythology, Cupid was the son of the Goddess of Love. Today, we know him as that pesky little fellow with wings that goes around shooting arrows and playing matchmaker on February 14th. Have a little extra fun this valentine's day by dressing up as Cupid for a holiday party complete with wings, red and white bow and arrow, and maybe a "diaper" or toga decorated with hearts.

Ladies can spice things up with a sexy Cupid costume perfect for turning heads and making potential matches. A pink Playboy Cupid costume may fit the bill for a ladies look for a take on the arrow-slinging imp. A vision in pink and white, the costume comes complete with pink, feathered wings, a mini-dress, pink sash and thigh highs adorned with bows.

If you find yourself "bah-humbug"-ing about valentine's day, The Queen of Broken Hearts is a hot ladies' costume that might turn the tide to your advantage. With its short, flouncy skirt and fitted bodice, this black-and-red ensemble is better than a box of chocolates.
