Halloween Costume Ideas for the '05
While I have no idea what scary mask I'll don this year far be it from me to dispel some advice to y'all for the right Halloween ensemble. The right Halloween ensemble requires weeks of research. You have to take the pulse of the culture, examine the zeitgeist, so and so forth. The right Halloween costume requires buzz. You have to have that "Oh Look!" factor and a Paris Hilton costume will just not cut it this year.
1) Anderson Cooper- No news anchor has more buzz than our favorite CNN anchor. Don a blue button down shirt, some worn in cargos, and add some cleverly sprinkled on baby powder on your noggin and you're Anderson. (Just think of Seth Myers on SNL who channeled Anderson on the season premiere).
2) Hurricane Katrina survivor - It's terrible to make light of a terrible situation but this is not so much of a costume as it is a tribute to the survivors. This costume requires little detail. It's more of what you wear around the house when your friends aren't around than a costume. You know the t-shirt I'm talking about.
3) A FEMA worker or Micahel Brown- just stand around in your FEMA t-shirt and do NOTHING, absolutely nothing.
4)Edie Sedgwick - No dead socialite besides that old hag Paris has more buzz than Edie. She's everywhere & she's going to be everywhere next year too. Every fashion rag has some old stock photo of her or some doe-eyed waif channeling her in a black & white top for a fashion spread. With Factory Girl in production you'll be ahead of the curve. No one will recognize you but you'll know you're a dead Warhol superstar, what more could you ask for! (And if you can get a sidekick to be Warhol to your Edie you'll be in the money)
5) Gerard Way of MyChemicalRomance - Every goth/ punk girl or confused boy's fantasy. All it takes is a lil' eyeliner, Dad's old suit, and some pancake white & you're Gerard. Croon at your own discretion.
6) Tom & Katie's baby- It'll probably be green since rumor has it it's a test tube baby & that whole "Scientology" business what with the silent birth and all. Perhaps you can be TomKat's baby meets an iPod. Hmmm.
7) Kanye West- Don an argyle or a polo, some flashy sunglasses and scream "George Bush doesn't care about black people...get down girl go ahead, get down"
