With less than a week until one of the busiest nights for liquor vendors and police officers, it's time to pick out the one person or thing you want to be on the night you can be anyone else. Whether you're planning on passing out candy or just passing out as the sun comes up, you'll need a costume.Every year you envy the friends who manage to hit the perfect balance between culturally relevant and culturally sensitive. Besides the totally appropriate but surely surplus number of Prince doppelgängers, here are five totally DIY-able costumes to dress up—or down—as this Halloween.

1. Donald Trump

Throw on a platinum blonde toupee and some cheap tanner--or orange paint for a bargain-price--and you're good to go. Undoubtedly one of the most popular options this year, consider recruiting some friends to act as bodyguards who jump in front of you, or perhaps a reporter to yell at. Trust us, it'll be "uuuge!"

2. "Birdy" Sanders

Ahh, March. Back when we still had the luxury of considering Trump a surprising threat, rather than half of The Worst Ultimatum. For this costume, a balding cap and face of withered determination will do, but if you really #FeelTheBern an accessory sparrow can take your look to the next level. This costume may also be found at local retailers under the alternate names: Oldie but Goodie and WTF America.

3. Pokémon Trainer

Along with chokers and the non-sarcastic use of the word "dope", Pokémon slid back into pop culture this summer with the release of one of the first augmented reality games available as a mobile app. In addition to its comfort and warmth, this costume comes with a free pick-up line: "I choose you!"

4. Simone Biles

With a leotard, wristguards, and a 10,000 watt smile, this costume brings home the gold with its simplicity and nod to positive cute costumes for girls to embody.

Warning: Do not attempt The Biles drunk, off a terrace into the pool.

5. Dirty US and China

Couple or BFF costume alert! You can really have fun with this one, carrying around bottles and smoke copiously in public settings. The aim is to pollute 40% of the air in whatever room you're in.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
