How to Come Up with Last-Minute Halloween Costumes

Halloween just around the corner and you still got nothing? Check out these easy last-minute costumes.

To complete this how-to, you will need:

Costume materials
Ingenuity
Optional: Search engine

Step 1: Make a pageant sash

Cut a pageant sash out of white material and write a "Miss" title for yourself. Wear over a long dress and throw on a crown or tiara if you have one.

Step 2: Be a play on words

Think of a play on words that's easy to construct, like wearing a slip that says "Freud" or tossing on a white sheet and carrying a pen and paper to go as a "ghost writer."

Google "puns" or "idioms" for ideas of phrases you can play off of.




Step 3: Be the Walk of Shame

Smear mascara under your eyes; muss your hair; wear a short skirt and a top that's either inside out or buttoned incorrectly; and carry a pair of stiletto shoes to be the "Walk of Shame."

Step 4: Color me death

Be every Mac user's worst nightmare: the spinning beach ball of death. Wear a single muted color and carry around a rainbow umbrella, spinning it at people with a menacing look on your face.

Step 5: Be an animal hoarder

Carry a bunch of stuffed animals -- or attach them to your clothes -- and go as an animal hoarder

Step 6: Be yourself

Don't wear a costume at all -- but pretend you're wearing one so clever that no one's been able to figure it out. Spend the whole night making people guess, and shaking your head smugly at their stupidity. Halloween joke's on them!




Nearly 2 in 5 U.S. adults who plan to dress up for Halloween have no idea what their costume will be less than a week before the holiday, according to a 2010 poll.

For girls this is an easy one; you don’t even have to go shopping. Listen closely: all you have to do is dress normal, like you usually do, but (& here’s the catch) put just a bit more make-up on than you do when you go to school, & so when someone will ask you: “What are you supposed to be?” - your answer will be simple: “A whore !”

For guys: dress exactly like I told the girls to (go into your mom’s closet or something) & when the same question presents itself your answer will be: “A faggot !"
