With Halloween just around the corner, Kimberly, Reid and Neil started thinking about their favorite Halloween costumes that they’ve worn in the past, and Kimberly says, “I think my favorite Halloween costume probably would have been…well, the one that sticks out in my mind is when I wore my pink poodle skirt, white turtle neck and saddle locks. I was a 50’s girl.”
Neil, who is a fan of The Lord of the Rings franchise says, “My favorite Halloween costume ever was when I was Frodo Baggins. That was my favorite. I actually got fake fur and got double-side stick tape and put it on my feet.”
Reid thinks his best costume was when he was Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas. He says, “I painted my face white and even colored my hair white as well.” The white hair came from spray paint, which he admits took a few washes to get out of his hair after Halloween.
Speaking of painting faces, The Band Perry just unveiled the named of their new album, Heart + Beat, by painting their faces bright yellow and putting either Heart, the plus sign or Beat on each one of their faces. They haven’t announced the release date for the new album yet, but it will feature their latest single, “Live Forever.”
