If you are seeing for an original and sexy Halloween costume, why not merge the grace and strangeness of a cat with the elegance of a Queen of the Nile to make an Egyptian Cat Goddess Costume?
The Egyptians worshipped Cats, especially a cat goddess names Bast or Bastet. Her temple was in her city of Bubastis. Her festival day was - guess what - October 31. Agreeing to Herodotus, a paramount Greek historian who visited Egypt and attended her festival, it was a week-long Mardi Gras with a lot of singing, dancing, and especially drinking of wine. The last day of her festival, October 31st, they would arrive at Bubastis and end the celebration at her temple, after a week-long boat ride down the Nile, Partying all the way.
The original Bastet in Egyptian art was depicted as a Royal Lady or Princess with a Cat's Head. She represented many cat traits, from her name meaning "tearer" to being the goddess of joy and protector of woMen. She was often represented with a basket of kittens, depicting her as the protective mother. The traits of Bastet were grace, mystery, and fierce protectiveness of a lion.
