Hip, colorful and cool. These are the features that distinguish the fashion statement of the sixties decade. With its lively and fun character, it's nothing new that as time goes by, the latest styles and designs of many outfits and costumes patterned the concept and motivation from the sixties fashion.

You can notice in many nightclubs and parties that the 1960's costumes are still brought to life. Many people find the Go Go dancer outfit, hippie costumes, psychedelic costumes and pop music outfit of the 60's fashionable and alluring. It is therefore clear that the 1960's placed a significant impact of inspiring the art of fashion and style of modern people.

Recently, there is a rampant wearing of fancy dresses. This idea was a raw product of the 1960's fashion. The current trend has been extensively promoting the beauty and interest of the 1960's costume as stirred from different television shows during that time.

Whenever you and your friends plan for your own Halloween costume party, you might find these three 1960's attire, fancy and based from popular television series and shows at that era, interesting and flattering.

Parker from Thunderbirds Costume

The Thunderbirds is a puppet show that garnered the interest and humor of both children and adults. It became the most popular program on air during the 60's and Parker became the most favorite and loved character by the audience. The show created awesome and flamboyant 1960's costumes and outfits that suited the different characters in the show.

I Dream of Jeannie 1960s costumes

This is a story of a two-thousand year old genie and her master who is an astronaut that were starred by Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman, respectively. The Jeannie (Barbara Eden) costume can be simply identified by people who were avid fans of the sitcom. A witch character in the show is also a perfect costume for Halloween parties. I Dream of Jeannie became the crowd's favorite during the sixties period. Because of this popularity, the outfits and clothes worn by the characters of the show are considered as one of the best examples of the 1960's costumes.

Austin Powers Costumes

A parody of James Bond, the concept of Austin Powers was developed during the 90's but it projected and patterned its setting from the period of the sixties. A wide range of 1960's costumes were presented in this parody and Austin Powers' costumes were among the infamous ones.

His attire was summed up to create a classy 1960's look by dressing up Austin Powers with a blue velour two-piece suit with an eye-catching lace French cuffs and lacy neck ruffs. The look was then emphasized by a pair of weird yet trendy looking glasses.

If you are interested in getting your own 1960's costume you can browse the internet and find an array of choices to choose from. But it is more advisable that you visit specialty stores nearby so that you will be able to find the coolest, trendiest 1960s costume that will fit you best.

Naturist Eden in the Dominican Republic

Tucked away on the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic where tropical forests meet the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, lies the aptly named resort; Eden Bay. Although only eighty minutes away from the mass tourist resorts of Puerto Plata, Eden Bay feels beautifully remote and away from it all. The Adams and Eves who stay in Eden enjoy a fully naturist vacation at this beautifully maintained, clothes optional resort.

It is only too easy to spend everyday of your holiday within the extensive grounds of Eden. They must cover at least 40 acres of land and include areas that are shaded under swaying coconut palms, grass lawns, sandy coves, rocky beaches and floral gardens. Amongst these natural features, the resorts man-made facilities can be found. They include; two swimming pools, three hot tubs, a volley ball court, a water volley ball court, bars, restaurants and accommodations.

If you can muster up the will power to put some clothes on and step outside of Eden at some point during your vacation, this part of the Dominican Republic offers many sightseeing opportunities. My best travel tip is to visit the Samana peninsula.

Here you will find lonely beaches with sand as white as sugar and beautiful hills of palm tree forests shading orchids and bromeliads of vivid colours. On the southern side of the peninsula, hotels and small upmarket tourist resorts have been developed over the years but they merge tastefully into the surrounding environment. The largest town in the area is Santa Barbara de Samana and there is one very good reason to go there if your vacation is between mid January and mid March. At that time of the year, Samana bay is the natural calving and mating grounds for three to five thousand humpback whales. Boats from Santa Barbara take tourists out into the bay for sightings of these magnificent animals at close quarters. From a boat it is possible to hear the male humpback's solitary courting song and to witness displays of tail lobbing, flippering and breaching. Most of the performances are undertaken by male humpbacks, trying to impress females and vying for their attention. If you are really lucky you may even observe one "standing" on his tale momentarily, right out of the water.

The whale observation boats have to go quite a long way out in the bay and can encounter some surprisingly choppy waters. A travel tip to anyone like me, who does not have a sailor's stomach, is to take a sea-sickness tablet before setting off. Another tip is to take something warm to put on if needed. We got soaked as the power boat crashed through the waves and even though the weather was fine and the Caribbean is about as warm as seawater gets, the ocean breeze made me feel quite chilly after a while.

It is a wonderful experience to get close to these amazing animals and the trip to Samana Bay is one not to be missed. However, it was sometimes possible to catch sight of the whales from Eden Bay, as they passed by on their migratory passage, a few hundred metres out to sea. One day we sat in a hot tub that overlooked the ocean and watched one sending great plumes of water into the air.

There are many other places worth visiting in this part of the Dominican Republic. The northern mountain ranges present the more adventurous tourist with activities that include mountain bike trails, hiking, and rubber rafting on the Rio Yaque del Norte. For people who enjoy more extreme sporting activities there is cascading. This involves climbing to the top of waterfalls and abseiling down through the cascade!

Personally, the magnet of Eden proved too strong to allow me to spend any more time away from the resort. Days of basking in the tropical sun, playing water volley ball, snorkelling in crystal clear waters, or enjoying one of the many beach games organised by the Eden Bay staff, were followed by balmy evenings of dance, dining and drinking. Sometimes it makes me feel a little guilty that we saw so little of the rest of the Dominican Republic but we were by no means alone in this respect. We made many new friends during our stay in Eden Bay and all them found it as difficult as we did to leave the resort.
