Five easy, last minute Halloween costumes

By NYSSA BULKES

Halloween doesn’t have to hurt your head.

Dressing up should be fun; It shouldn’t be a process of you racking your brain and coming up with nothing but a headache. Here are five last-minute, super easy costume ideas.

1) The Hamburgler – This is a great excuse to eat dinner and go party all at the same time. Grab some black clothing, a Zorro-esque eye mask and a happy meal and go have some fun.

2) “Cold” – Who said you had to go as a persona? Going as an adjective is the easiest thing in the book. Get some liquid frost to crust your eyelashes and eyebrows together, slather some blue costume makeup around your eyes and lips and put on your winter coat. Any gloves or scarves to go with your costume will only make it more obvious.

3) James Bond – If you have a sweet suit lying around, pin a rose to the lapel or tuck a folded handkerchief into the breast pocket. Slick your hair as you would for a swanky night out and channel your inner Sean Connery. If you have a lady friend, ask her to don her dressiest dress and classic makeup. If a dress isn’t available, get some secretary garb for the ever-classy Miss Moneypenny.

4) Courtesy of Rolling Stone magazine, they suggest an easy costume is a Chinese gymnast. – Print off a fake birth certificate — don’t use your real one, duh — and slip into a red leotard. You may not be Olympic-bound, but this is sure to get some laughs.

5) Your buddy – If all else fails, find a friend who will let you rummage through their closet — get permission first — and find their most distinctive clothes. Make sure to find a confident friend in the event your evening antics paint a less than favorable picture of them.
