Professionally Plaqued Smurfs in Smurf Village Retro TV Poster Print - 22x34 with RichAndFramous Black WoodMounting
Halloween is right around the corner. What started as simple trick or treating has become big business in the United States. Last year we spent 4.75 billion dollars alone on Halloween. Which is surprising because it seemed like my kids were still getting lame candy like sweet tarts and blow pops. It seems like if people are forking out that kind of dough we would see a lot more snickers and almond joy. The greatest expense for Halloween these days is not candy it is yard decorations and elaborate costumes. Costumes aren't just for the kids anymore. No, just like everything else Halloween costumes and yard decorations have turned into a game of keeping up with the Joneses.
Keep that in mind if you are planning on going to a party? In 2010 you do not be caught with your loincloth down. If you are joining in on the festivities you need to pay attention to what is going on in the world. Whatever you do, do not show up to a party painted blue like someone from Avatar, that is so 2009. Instead, check out our list of the top ten Halloween costumes for 2010.
Michael Jackson
Think of the looks you'll get as you moon walk into the party with that iconic white glove! Go as "beat it!" version or my favorite the "smooth criminal" version. Is it too soon to be in the top ten Halloween costumes? Normally I would say yes, but we are giving it a pass since everyone is trying to cash in on his death.
Buzz Lightyear/Woody
Number 2 and 3 on the Top Ten Halloween Costumes for 2010 are a great team! How could Buzz and Woody not make it into the top ten Halloween costumes? Yes, the Toy story saga is over, but it does not have to be for you. Buzz and Woody are fun and current. Who does not love these guys.
Captain America/Hulk/Thor/Iron Man
There is a lot of buzz about the Avengers, and that makes these Halloween costumes hot options. Iron man 2 was a big hit, the hulk is coming out in 2012 and Thor and Captain America movies are coming out next year. Plus if you go as Captain America you get a cool shield you can throw at trick or treaters.
Frank the bunny
This is one of those snobby movie references. It's from the cult hit Donnie Darko, which was only seen be thirteen thousand single guys...who are probably still single. They will love this demented bunny costume the minute they see it, but to everyone else it will be a little creepy.
Inception- Dom Cobb
This is actually a cool idea for the top ten Halloween costumes. Wear a skinny suit, tie and wear a fedora. To add to the effect carry a metal suitcase and spin a top every once in while.
Avatar- Jake Sully
Okay, I give in it is still cool. This makes it into the top ten Halloween costumes despite the fact that if you show up to a party in this costume it may look like a Smurf village. That may not be so bad the Smurfs movie comes out next year. Just bring a smurf hat just in case there are too many Avatar nerds.
Painter Smurf uses his paints and brushes to make the world a Smurfier place. You'll recognize him wearing a red jacket with a black tie. Visit Painter Smurf's House if you want to paint the perfect "masterpizza"!
Have you ever tried to chase a blue smurf? They are fast, sneaky and funny, and always in trouble.
Far, far away, in a little mushroom village, live a group of little blue pixies in short trousers and white bonnets called the Smurfs. Only as tall as three apples, they speak in "Smurf", a language that only they understand. The Smurfs are carefree, peaceful creatures that live in harmony with nature. But they have a nasty habit of wanting to act like man, which causes them 1,001 problems.
Some how Papa Smurf made it over to our hospital, and was running up and down the halls. The 6'2 young man who spotted him thought he was so funny and laughed a deep belly laugh most of the evening.
He came up to one of the nurses and said
"Do you see Papa Smurf? He is hiding behind you"
She replied, "No I don't see him"
Young man stated "Be careful don't move he is right behind you"
The nurse said, "Ok" and took a step backwards.
The young man had a shocked looked on his face "You stepped on him! You killed him!"
He dropped his head and walked down the hall.
Was there a smurf? We did not see him - this mentally ill young man did. It was very real to him and he wanted to share papa smurf with the staff.
How does a mental health nurse chase blue papa smurfs and present reality at the same time for good care to that client?
Does Nursing Theory Adequately Prepare Psychiatric Nurses to Work with Delusional Patients?
Anyone in mental health care knows you have to be careful how you find humor in a clients delusional sights - however there are times when you can folow along with them until you reach a point that you can redirect them that papa smurf is only a delusion. This young mans comment was "Yes I know."
It takes trust for a client to bring to the staffs attention about his own delusions and for them to describe to you what Papa Smurf has on and what he is saying and doing. Most people will deny they see or hear things. For the nurse or staff to get a client to trust you enough to share with you the things the voices are saying and what the delusions are doing is a break through in their care.
The nursing theory of mental health nurses is is present reality to these clients and redirect them to the here and now. As a new nurse or a new nurse in this field it is easy to go by the book and present reality. However, to someone who is standing and looking at the blue smurf behind your right leg laughing at them - that is their reality. A nurse/staff can talk with them about their delusion. Let them tell you about it - in details if they will. They open up to you and feel like they can actually talk about what is going on with them. Once they have been reminded that it is not real - they will still come back to you and tell you about their stories even though they know it is just not real.
A mental health nurse has to be able to play with the smurfs, the demons and stay in focus for the real life too.
The joking should be done with the intention of establishing rapport or being supportive or therapeutic in some way. It should never be mean-spirited. And, the patient should not be very upset or in an overly-serious mood. I believe it's easiest and most appropriate to joke with patients with whom we already have established some degree of therapeutic alliance.
The next time you see a blue smurf hiding behind the chair, be careful not to step on them - they are sticky on the bottom of your shoe. It is just a delusion but sometimes - you just have to smile and wave at Papa Smurf.
