It's very fun and easy to make a Zorro mask for Halloween. Zorro is one of the most recognizable fictional characters there is. You're sure to have a blast when you wear a Zorro costume for Halloween or any costume occasion. In case you didn't know, Zorro was a character created by Johnston McCulley in 1919. He is a black masked hero who is a defender of the poor and oppressed during the Spanish colonial era in California. He is a nobleman and a swordsman in the guise of Don Diego de la Vega. He has very cunning fox-like abilities and is often seen with his black horse Tempest.
You can never go wrong with creating a Zorro mask for Halloween. Masks are great costumes for celebrating special occasions and holidays. Masks are traditionally used all over the world in commemoration of religious and national events. In other countries, masks make for a lucrative business as they can sell as high as hundreds to thousands of dollars. Among the many countries known to largely use masks are Africa, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, China, Mexico, Guatemala, and the Caribbean.
What's good about a Zorro mask is that you can use it for other occasions aside from Halloween, like at cosplays, on stage, birthdays, film, etc. Zorro's character is very similar to that of Robin Hood, in a way that they both defend a just and noble cause against the evil governing powers of their time. All you'll need for your Zorro costume are black trousers, a black shirt, black cape, black handkerchief, black thread, needle, black shoes, fake sword, black gloves, black hat, and scissors.
The first step in making your Zorro mask is by draping a black handkerchief over your head like you would a bandanna. Cut out two small holes where the eyes should be so you can properly see through the mask. The next step is to match the black shirt, pants cape, shoes, gloves, and hat altogether to fit the general concept of your hero. The cape should fit your shoulders and should go all the way down to your ankles. You can also create an additional accessory in the form of a red sash (this is really optional). The entire costume wouldn't be complete without Zorro's famous sword. Draw a fake curving mustache on your face and you're all ready to go. All you need now is the accent and charisma that only Zorro is known for.
The most exciting thing about dressing up for the holiday is the pleasure of being able to spend it with your friends and family. What I enjoy most about the festivities is how it transports me back to a time when I didn't have a care in the world and when the world was kinder, easier and more beautiful - back when I was a child. So go on, wear and enjoy your Zorro mask and maybe, just maybe, you'll catch a glimpse of what it feels like to be a kid again.

A Small History Behind A Big Car
Everyone out there loves a muscle car. From the roar of that huge engine to the flames on the hood, it is hard to resist looking when you hear one rumbling down the road. But, most people don't really know the history behind the "muscle car", like who created the first one and when were they introduced on the market?
Almost every historian and car buff credits Pontiac with the first "muscle car" on the market, which was a variation on the Tempest, the 1964 GTO. This first muscle car offered a huge V-8 engine that boasted 389 cubic inches and a floor-shift manual transmission instead of on the column. With a newer, sleek look and trim inside and out that was to die for, who could resist the car that was born that year. These cars sold like hotcakes, even though Pontiac was in direct violation of a General Motors policy on the size of the engines that are placed in their vehicles. It didn't matter, the muscle car was born, and everyone rushed to get in on the action.
These muscle cars had great performance that was fit for the street or the races, and allowed them to completely dominate every race that they were placed in. It wasn't long before other auto companies wanted a piece of the action, and more styles of muscle cars were born. While some of these other muscle cars bragged about bigger engines and more options, the youth market in America didn't care. The muscle car was all the rage because they embodied rebellion, style, and "coolness". But, with every era comes an end, and in the later 1960's there was an uprising about the prices and weights of these muscle cars, which prompted the auto manufacturers to create a "budget muscle car", which carried names like the "Road Runner".
Though they were wildly popular, the muscle car didn't quite sell as many as their manufacturers would have liked, but their rise in popularity has not been matched since. No other type of car in history has been able to create such an air of personality as the muscle car has. But, toward the mid 1970's, these smaller, budget muscle cars once again got a boost. The competition in the auto industry was heating up once more, and the muscle cars produced during this time boasted some of the biggest engines ever thought of, like the 450 big block. Although this created yet another spike in sales and popularity, concerns about the safety of these cars gave way to more protests and problems. With some of the other industries, like the insurance agencies, protesting the larger muscle cars and refusing to insure them, the sales of these powerful icons plummeted. Then, another crushing blow to the muscle car, the oil problems that plagued the world in the late 70's and early 80's ended the muscle car altogether, and auto manufacturers removed them completely from the market.
But, even today, the muscle car is still sought after by car buffs, collectors, motor-heads, and rebels in general. They are sought out, fixed up, and rumbling down the road in every town across the United States, and even all over the world. No matter how old or young you are, the muscle car still holds unquestionable bragging rights as well as an instant pass to "coolness".

Poll: Can you feel ... That Walk ...?
That Walk
Purposeful strides into life taking cold
Dark buildings cast darker icicle shadows
Taut hood, pulled eyes
Knitted cap, perfects disguise
Shifty home, economics of roam
Knickknack padded back
Possession lack
Feet of stone, never atone
Move me right along
Picking them up and putting them down
She loves me, she loved me not
Heartless petals tempest strewn
Lies ignited, passion in ashes
Existence in suspense
Pick them up and put them down
Survival is in picking them up
and putting them down
Yep...gotta keep moving.
Stopping means death.
Great poem, you took us into his head.
Such strength those of the street possess.
At least that's who I saw.
