Cat Woman Costume.us

There are many a black cat costume that has turned heads at a party but I also love the toddler cat costume I saw on my nephew when he was two. Here are some examples of what we offer:

Throughout history the black cat has meant different things to different cultures.  In western cultures, the black cat has always symbolized bad luck.  “Don’t let that black cat cross your path or you will have bad luck!”, my Grandmother would always shout out to me as we were walking on her farm.  Grandpa use to laugh and tease my Grandmother about her superstitions.  In other countries, the black cat meant good luck (go figure!   You got to wonder sometime where these superstitions originated.  Doing some research to why people believed they were bad luck, I found that many people felt that they were the embodiment of bad omens and even been considered as “familiars” of witches.

When I see or think of black cats I immediately remember the song “Black Cat” sung by Janet Jackson.  Here is a short video regarding her thoughts about the Black Cat song (I have included the transcript below the video and also included the second video of her performing the song):

Janet Jackson: We wanted to do something rock but something funky but no one had come up with anything and this was the last song we had recorded in the studio.  I was watching CNN and I just started humming this guitar riff.  I ran and grabbed my recorder and I ran to the studio and shouted “Guys…I got this!”  There were a lot of rock videos I had seen and I really liked….not knowing who the director was.  Well, I was out on the road and they started to send me tapes and there was a tape that they gave me and said that they thought that I would really like this guy.  I said that these are the videos I really like and I have seen and it just so happened that Wayne had done most of the videos.

Meanwhile back at Wayne’s camp:

Wayne Isham (Director): …I go, this is a rocker…this is not just the dance oriented thing that she is known for and I said that I really liked the song then I found out she wrote it and she wrote all of it.  If you listen to the song, it’s got this great guitar lick and I said, ‘She didn’t write that!?’ and they said, ‘…yes she did’.  Then I said ‘…alright I am there’.  The first time I saw her she had only performed live three times and I had seen everyone perform the best and I thought, “She’s happening!”.

Janet: A lot of people say it’s there favorite song off of the album and every city that we have gone to the response has been incredible and it hasn’t been a single yet so it has been great…they seem to really enjoy the song.

So if you are looking for a black cat costume or a Cat Woman Costume this Halloween, look no further!
