What Not To Wear: Halloween Edition

Still stumped on what to do for Halloween?  Well, I have found myself in a similar predicament before.  It feels like doing your Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve when all the stores are ravaged by last minute shoppers.  With stores and malls being so picked over, it may be hard to find a suitable costume.  Don’t fret because luckily, this isn’t as much of a dilemma as say being forced to buy your Mom a pair of Isotoner slippers two sizes too big because it’s either that or a Chia Pet.  We can be much more resourceful and creative in this situation!  It just takes some imagination…

With that spirit in mind, I scoured the Internet for some rather unconventional ideas.  Unfortunately, I didn’t find much to my liking.  Regardless, I will share some of my favorites.  I don’t necessarily endorse any of the following, mainly because some of these ideas are pretty awful, but they sure gave me a good laugh.

“Misty” submitted the Nick Nolte Mug Shot Costume:
Wear a Hawaiian shirt. Put tons of gel and baby oil in your hair and blow dry it upside down making it look as crazy as possible. Hang a small sign around your neck that says “Nolte, Nick” with a case number.  Genius.

Or, the Runaway Bride:
Wear a bridal gown and sneakers.

And how about this one, The Dust Bunny:
Wear a dirty old white bunny costume and carry a feather duster, or “dust buster” vacuum.

Thanks Lorri!

Then there’s the Darth Brooks:
Wear western clothes with a cowboy hat, and carry a guitar. Then add a Darth Vader or Darth Maul mask.

Next up, the Leggo my Eggo:
Wear pajamas and a bathrobe with the right sleeve burned. Put a wig in rollers and burn the hair on the right side as well. Buy an old toaster and carry it around by sticking your fingers in one of the slots… with a waffle in the other slot.

Well, I can see why you wouldn’t want your name associated with that one.

Okay, so maybe this website was a total bust.  Hopefully you will have better luck on your last minute costume search.  If all else fails, try a thrift store. 

Thanks to costumeideazone.com for the comic relief.
