Forget dressing up as Snooki or The Sitch or any of those laughing-all-the-way-to-the-bank idiots from Jersey Shore this Halloween. I think you should be Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber. Both are easy costumes you can design at home with little spend and both offer the chance for you to be the talk of the Halloween party or the block on which you do your trick or treating! Bet you thought I was going to say the block on which you conduct your "business" but I did not even go there. This is a PG-rated column, folks.
The benefits of being Lady Gaga for Halloween:
*If you like to dress conservatively, this gives you a chance to be flamboyant.
*If you like to dress flamboyantly, this gives you a chance to be flamboyant.
*If you want to dress like a drag queen, here is your chance to pile on the makeup.
*You can do this cheaply, by stocking up on red lipstick from CVS, a fake blonde or gray wig at the local wig shop and lots of glitter from the local art supply shop.
*You can grab a dress at the local thrift shop.
*You can grab inexpensive platform shoes at PayLess.
The benefits of being Justin Bieber for Halloween:
*All you need to buy is hair products - hair spray and gel!
*A blow dryer and flat iron complete the look.
*Sneakers - who doesn't love sneakers?
*Skinny jeans and zip up hoodies can be pulled from your closet or your little brother's closet.
*Chicks dig the Bieb, so you will be the life of the party.
