Top Affordable Halloween Costumes for 2010
The following list completely ignores all of the typical Halloween costumes like vampires, those go without saying, rather, this list is aimed more at the trend of dressing up like somebody famous or recently made famous. Every year there seems to be a new batch of celebs thanks to politics, reality shows, and balloon boy stunts. Below is the MYM’s top 2010 list of affordable costumes for 2010.
[ UPDATE: 9/28/2010]
- Christine O’Donnell - Already somebody who wasn’t on the original list, but quickly deserves the top spot. Christine O’Donnell won a surprising Republican primary in Delaware and has been making the headlines since, with much thanks to Bill Maher. How do you dress like O’Donnell for Halloween? Well, you could go with a classic politician look with a twist–lets say a suit, Congressional looking pin, and a witch hat or broom (don’t you dabble in witchcraft?).
- Steven Slater – Made famous by freaking out on a passenger on a plane, while working as a flight attendant, Slater stole a beer and slid down the emergency exit on a JetBlue flight. Slater adds another reason to consider purchasing the all you can fly deal from JetBlue. A Slater costume can range from a flight attendant getup to well a flight attendant getup.
- Michaele Salahi – I guess you don’t have to be invited to the party if you show up dressed as Michaele Salahi. The famous White House party crasher and now apparently a DC Housewife, requires a blond wig and a dress, I guess.
- President Barak Obama – Neither color nor religion is an issue if you decide to dress up as Obama this year. Apparently, he’s black/white and Christian/Muslim. All you will need to pull of the Obama look is a suit, big ears, a birth certificate, noble piece price, graying hair, and low approval ratings.
- Sarah Palin – Sarah Palin says so many crazy things that this costume can go a number of ways. Of course, your going to need the famous glasses and crazy hair, but from their you can go a number of directions. Maybe bring along your pet grizzly bear, fishing pole, a dictionary of made up words, a certificate of congratulations for half a term as Governor or Alaska, a gun (fake) or a lamestream media partner.
- Levi Johnston – How can I not include Levi after Sarah? Levi is another easy costume to put together, it’s just going to take a few accessories to tip off who you are supposed to be. Some options could be to bring a “pregnant” partner to play as Bristol Palin, a Playgirl, or a “Vote for Levi” for Mayor sign.
- Bristol Palin – I hate to put all of these back to back, but they play off each other so well. Bristol is a costume that like all of them probably can go a number of ways. You could be pregnant, carry a People magazine, or have a priest almost marry you throughout out the night (there is always a priest at a Halloween party).
- Rod Blagojevich – Close friends call him Blago, we call him crazy. Blagojevich requires a nice mop of hair, a suit, $500 tie, credit card debt, jail jumpsuit, or a “Your Fired” sign.
- Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) – Scott Brown became an instant household name with his surprise win for the late and I will say Great Ted Kennedy. He’s no ordinary Senator, however, he landed on the Hill’s most attractive people list and once was featured as the “Sexiest Man” in a centerfold piece. Again, take this costume how you’d like…
- Tea Partier – This costume might be a little more expensive depending on how you look at it. It could range from a tea party character dating back to the Boston Tea Party or pick out a person in the crowd at any tea party rally and give yourself a prop that gives your costume away. Perfect props could be anti-Obama signs, political signs with misspelled words, and a copy of the constitution or bible.
- Justin Bieber – If you don’t know him, ask your kids, if you still cant find out who he is then Google in him Incognito. I suppose all you need to do is have the Bieber hair due, which is pretty much flat across your forehead slightly to one side and make sure your constantly throwing the hair out of your face. Oh, and you should probably be short and wear extremely tight undies to get your voice at the right octave.
- LeBron James – Normally I don’t think he should be on a Halloween costume list, but after the bizarre year he had how can he not? [Warning: Do not dress up at LeBron if your going to be going to a Halloween party in the entire state of Ohio]
- Brett Favre – I’m willing to guess this will be the last year Favre makes it on a Halloween costume list, but never say never with Brett. Perhaps a dip in your mouth, a Vikings jersey tucked into tight Wrangler jeans, a walker, and an indecisive drink order all night will work perfect to pull off the Favre.
- Tareq Salahi – Michaele’s husband is not nearly as famous of the two White House party crashers, but definitely will be showing up at parties this Halloween. I’d venture to guess it will be the biggest couples outfit this year. Don’t be afraid to go with a polo outfit.
- Glenn Beck – The man who can compare nearly anything to the Nazi Germany days should be an easy costume to pull together with things you probably already have. The glasses he wears when giving his professor like lectures are a must. If possible, some type of chalkboard, a gold endorsement, and constant chin grabbing.
- Elizabeth Warren – Ok, this costume may only work if you live in the Washington DC area. It was Warren’s idea to have a Consumer Financial Protection Agency, which has recently been created by Congress, and Warren is now a leading contender to get the job. An Academic with, well, an academic look, Warren is a pretty easy costume to pull off. This is either a bust or a hit costume, depending on the party.
- Elena Kagan – Sticking with DC fame, President Obama’s successful Supreme Court pick Elena Kagan, cruised through the confirmation process with relative ease. With her sexuality in question and her love for softball and constant short jokes (even from Obama), Kagan can easily mimicked with a homemade Supreme Court robe.
Who are we forgetting?
