ShindigZ Supplies Featured on “My Name Is Earl”

Fans of the hit NBC television show My Name is Earl (Thursdays, 8/7c) got a taste of how to throw a party with ShindigZ. The focus of the November 29th episode was planning a prison prom. Gobs of ShindigZ underwater prom and party items were used. The episode featured the characters going through ShindigZ.com and Stumps Prom & Party catalogs, choosing a party theme and then decorating for the actual event. Gossamer, seaweed, a Neptune cutout and a large seaweed arch were amongst the supplies and featured. Even the crown and scepter worn were from ShindigZ.

The show stars Jason Lee, Ethan Suplee, Jaime Pressly, Eddie Steeples and Nadine Velazquez.

Halloween Costumes Get Political

As people are purchasing costumes for Halloween 2007, ShindigZ asked visitors to their website which 2008 Presidential candidate would make the scariest costume. The site receives over 25,000 visitors each day and thousands of people responded to the question in a poll posted on the home page of the website over the past four weeks.

Hillary Clinton (53.2%) was voted the scariest costume, leading Al Gore (10.3%) by over 40 percentage points. Next was Rudi Guiliani with 9.4% of customers voting him the scariest. Rounding out the ballot were Barack Obama (7.2%), Fred Thompson (6.7%), John Edwards (6.1%), and John McCain (4%). Mitt Romney was voted the least scary Halloween costume of the major presidential candidates with just 3.1%.

Overall, the Democrats (76.8%) were found scarier than the Republicans (23.2%). With Hillary Clinton’s scary majority removed, however, the two parties are about equal with the Democrats taking 23.6% of votes and the Republicans 23.2%.

In a related poll, ShindigZ asked customers what George Bush should dress up as for Halloween. In the poll, 41.2% of customers thought President Bush should dress up as Sharpay, the antagonist of Disney’s High School Musical. 25.4% thought he should dress as the “scariest” candidate, Hillary Clinton. 14% voted for Spiderman while 11.9% thought the president should embrace his roots and dress as Walker, Texas Ranger. Another 5.2% voted for the president to dress up as his father, George H.W. Bush and finally 2.2% thought he should dress as Donald Rumsfeld.
 
President Bush, and all Americans, can find some of those costumes and many others at online at ShindigZ.com, America’s Largest Online Party Superstore. 
 

ShindigZ Party Pulse Rising

Summer and fall are looking to be big party seasons according to ShindigZ customers. A June survey posted on the ShindigZ.com website found that 32 percent of customers planned to host 5 or more parties within the next year, with 90 percent of customers planning to throw at least one party.

Another survey, sent via e-mail to ShindigZ customers, sought to find what kind of parties people were likely to host. Of 1,000 respondents, over 40 percent said they could see themselves throwing a pool or luau party by the end of the year. Nearly 30 percent customers thought they were likely to throw a Halloween party, marking summer and fall as big party seasons. Other popular party themes on the horizon include Christmas parties (26%), Hollywood parties (18%) and western parties (17%).

Although the holidays are always popular reasons to host a party, the increased interest in themed parties may indicate that people are choosing more often to host parties in their homes rather than more expensive modes of entertainment, possibly due to this summer’s rise in gas prices. With party supplies shipped straight to their homes from ShindigZ.com, party hosts do not even have to leave their homes to plan and throw memorable parties.

As a one-stop party source since 1926, ShindigZ provides all one needs to turn an ordinary party occurrence into something special, something memorable. The website sells over 38,000 party decorations.
