How To Get Purring In A Sexy Catwoman Costume

Saturday, August 21st, 2010 | Women's Interest

Catwoman is a great character to dress up for Halloween especially because black cats have been associated with evil, bad luck, witches and the occult. Catwoman was certainly a villainous character, but she looked so sexy in her black costume and mask. If the thought of dressing up as Catwoman makes you want to purr, here are some tips.

Get the costume

The first step is to dress up like her. For me there are three memorable Catwomen. The first is the amazing Eartha Kitt who played Catwoman in the 1960′s television series. Who can forget her trademark growl-like purr and tight black all in one cat suit, eye mask and cat ear head band.

Michelle Pfeiffer is the next that comes to mind and she’s my particular favorite. She played Catwoman in “Batman Returns” (1992). Here we see her transform from being a quiet and shy secretary into the sexy and evil Catwoman after her boss tries to kill her. She wore a cat suit made of black latex with distinctive molded rubber stitches. It was definitely very sexy! It was designed by Syren Couture, a leading latex high fashion house. It was constructed like a second skin for Michelle Pfeiffer whilst allowing her to kick and jump. This particular catwoman costume was auctioned in 2009 and sold for an incredible $8,260. This was the highest amount for a single outfit.

The final Catwoman that sticks in my mind is Halle Berry in “Catwoman” (2004). The movie didn’t get very good reviews but I loved the costume. A lot more revealing than both Eartha Kitt’s and Michelle Pfeiffer’s costume, it certainly didn’t leave much to the imagination. Made of black PVC vinyl, the costume consisted of a cleavage revealing black bra with large straps that crossed over in the front and attached to a belt and low-rise black pants with what looks like cat scratches down the front and back. To finish off she wore a hooded cat-ear half mask and elbow-length gloves with attached claws.

Move like a cat

Now that you are dressed like Catwoman, you have to start acting like one. There are many words we can use to describe how Catwoman should act such as sexy, slinky, sly and cunning, but she always moved with graceful ease, just like a real cat. Make sure you purr and meow as much as you can.
