Sucker Punch Costumes - Kick It As Baby Doll Or Sweet Pea This Halloween
Lots of flicks, mainly in the action fantasy genre, inspire the creation of outfits of the main protagonists and antagonists. People watch the film and connect with these characters and then want to see the world through their eyes so to speak. This could positively be said for some of the latest costumes to come out - Sucker Punch Costumes.
Sucker Punch is an action fantasy movie that is based on a comic book. It tells the tale of a young girl that is put into a psychological establishment because she kills her stepfather. The truth that she was defending her younger sister from him seems to be lost on the authorities and she is sent to the institution to protect society and fix up her psychological issues.
The picture is set in the 1950’s and the assumption goes that the mental institute is not a very good one. They apply all sorts of therapies like electro-shock therapy to ‘cure’ their patients. In actual fact the entire place is pretty sinister looking, even the entrance looks like some haunted house.
Anyhow, it seems obvious to the principle protagonist, Baby Doll, that she’s likely to be in for a grueling time in the institution so she goes right into a fantasy world in her own mind to deal with the reality. She meets 4 other girls in the institution too (or are they in her mind ?) who link up with her in this fantasy world.
In the fantasy world they are a crack group on a quest. The quest takes them to weird and wonderful worlds and times from our planet’s history. They fight German soldiers from the first world war and a large Samurai. It really is pretty frenetic stuff.
The 5 characters are Baby Doll, Rocket, Amber, Blondie and Sweet Pea. Each one has a costume that is a mixture of a ninja fighting outfit and a sexy tight fitting number. Baby doll is without doubt the most girly of the costumes and it’s slightly like a school girl uniform with high black stockings. To dismiss any idea that she is a school girl she happens to be exceedingly proficient with a samurai sword and makes use of it to good effect in the course of the movie.
This inclination to dress up as motion picture characters or action/adventure heroes in general manifests itself at events like comic conventions, fancy dress events and the greatest term to cherish an alter ego fantasy : Halloween. Individuals love to get “dolled” up at this time and a favorite movie personality is a preferred choice since you appreciate the character and other people will recognize you. If there’s a group of you then you can dress up as all the girls and go as the Sucker Punch girls. It’s bound to make a massive impression at any event.
