Halloween is right around the corner, and if you don't have any Halloween costume ideas yet, or just want something easy and inexpensive, here are some ideas for you.
If you're a girl, try being Paris Hilton. Being Paris is easy! You will need to buy a long blonde wig (if necessary), wear a short skirt, label "That's Hot!" on a t-shirt, slip into a pair of skyscraper stilettos or boots, wear large movie star sunglasses, buy a little stuffed Chihuahua and put inside of a handbag with its head hanging out, wear lots of make-up (especially pink lip gloss), and walk around with your cell phone glued to your head talking like a valley girl.
For the boys, try being Flavor Flav. To dress like Flavor Flav you need to have a very large clock hanging around your neck. Attaching a chain to a clock would work; just make sure it is not heavy. Buy some gold teeth, wear a Viking helmet, gold crown, or wear a baseball cap sideways. Find a fur coat or cape and wear bright clothing beneath with baggy jeans. Last, wear tons of bling and other gaudy accessories.
If you and your significant other want to theme for the occasion, try one being Brad or Angelina. Angelina's costume is simple, but the details are very important. You can go as the casual Angelina wearing just a white t-shirt and jeans, or wear a long flowing dress. Buy a long dark wig (if necessary). Be sure to wear tattoos, outline your lips large with nude lip-liner, and buy 6 babies all different colors. If possible, try to find a shirt or other attire that says Mrs. Pitt, or make your own!
Brad's clothing should accompany Angie's by sticking to one theme (either casual or not). Throw on a pair of sunglasses and any hat, preferably a bucket hat, trilby hat (smaller version of a top hat), or a beret. Don't shave for a few days if possible. Help Angie out with the kids by strapping a few of the baby dolls to your back with a baby carrier.
