Getting ready for Halloween as a couple is greatly exciting and participating in a fancy dress themed night usually becomes the high light of the year. The pre- party experience of making decisions and compromising on a theme can be exciting too, add a couple of little arguments and disagreements, get that out of the way, and with with you both finally deciding on a theme for your costumes, prepare for a great night.
Sure, there are a lot of ideas, the list is vast, from modern to old, from cartoons to movies etc. but the one theme that never seems to lose appeal, sexiness and individual stunning looks, is the classic historical look of the ancients.
The two characters who are perfect for these type of costume themes are Mark Anthony and Cleopatra. Their historical story of love and treachery, adultery and wars, brings life to your chosen costumes, and their undying love and death together adds a mystic element to your night.
Mark Antony was a Roman Politician and general around 50 BC and was the military commander and administrator for his friend, Julius Cesar.
Cleopatra was the last pharaoh ruler of Egypt. She was of great beauty and was known for her successive conquests of the worlds most powerful men, adding to her sexual appeal. But her love story with Mark Antony is an excellent interesting historical story, daring and tragic, and reading Shakespeare's Anthony and Cleopatra play is a must for all literature lovers.
In the end, during a battle at sea between Mark Anthony and Octavian, Cleopatra had pledged her ships to Mark, but during the battle she flees and Mark Decides to flee also and follower her, leaving his men to their destruction and peril.
He is ashamed of what has happened, leaves Cleopatra in anger. To get back his love, she sends a message to him that she is dead, thinking he would rush back and find her, but it back fires and he tries to kill himself but badly wounds himself with a sword, hears she is not dead, makes it back to her and dies in her arms.
Sadly after, Cleopatra grabs an asp snake and lets it sink it's teeth in and kills herself. Dramatic stuff but a magnificent story. And of course there is much more to it than that.
These two characters, soaked in a barrel of history, make for a great Halloween costume idea. The Marc Anthony costume is a commanding Roman Leader look, and the Cleopatra is absolutely beautiful and a must see, elegance and sophistication all in one.
Take a step back in time and go for a complete unique and truly amazing look this Halloween and be the soul talk of the party.
