Nine Costumes Only Redheads Can Pull Off

'Tis the season for giant bowls of candy, creepy decorations and clever costumes. Yet while everyone is looking for the perfect outfit to wear, us redheads have a special advantage, the color of our hair. But instead of taking the easy way out (come on, ladies, Ariel has been so overdone), I have come up with some different options for those who sport the nickname "ginger" and have been told they do not have a soul.

1. Kim Possible

Since it's always a good idea to purchase a pair of green cargo pants and odds are you can easily find a black crop top and gloves, why not rock this killer girl power look?

2. Wilma Flintstone

This one is easy. Start with a large, white t-shirt. Then cut off one arm and snip zig-zags into the bottom. Then find a thin belt and a chunky necklace. This costume receives bonus points too because your hair gets to be to in a topknot (which we all know is ideal for sweaty college party situations).

3. Donna from That 70's Show

Lucky for us, wide-legged jeans are starting to make a comeback! Now you can justify wearing them by throwing on an old flannel and a sweet leather vest (because let's face it, we have all wanted to be as cool and badass as Donna at one point or another).

4. Jessica Rabbit

Remember that dress from Tobi you ordered with the plunging neckline? The one you swore you would have an occasion to wear it, but never did? Break it out. find some gloves and a pair of bunny ears and now you're set apart from all the basic bunnies at the party!

5. Eliza Thornberry

Admit it, "The Wild Thornberrys"held a special place in your childhood, and we have the advantage of playing a realistic Eliza. Get a large, yellow T-shirt and some red paint to recreate her outfit and then sport some pigtail braids (bonus points if you have glasses or braces).

6. Rebecca Bloomwood from "Confessions of a Shopaholic"

This movie is a classic for the girly redheads who want to make a fashion statement on Halloween. Find a cute dress, insert loose curls, and carry around as many shopping bags as you can find.

7. Jessie from "Toy Story 2"

This one was a personal favorite from my childhood. Very similar to the generic cowgirl costume, we have the special title of Jessie simply due to our hair color in pigtail braids.

8. Daphne

If your closet is full of purple, then this is the costume for you. Find a cute purple dress, tie a bit of purple ribbon into your hair, and add the totally classic green scarf. Be sure to also embody her sassy, know-it-all attitude that goes along with being a redhead.

9. Olive from "Easy A"

Everyone secretly wishes they were Emma Stone, but redheads are one step closer to that wish. Personify this classic character in an all black outfit and cut out a red "A" on your chest. Throw on a pair of shades and be the baddest girl at whatever party you step into.

And there you have it, perfect costumes for those of us that have a harder time blending into a crowd every other day of the year. It's our time to stand out and shine and put what your mama gave you to good use.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
