If you want a good costume, think of something you look like or a significant trait that defines you. For me, I am very skinny and awkwardly shaped so I will probably go as the stick bug from A Bug’s Life or as Mr. Bean.

Think of your favorite movie and find a character in it that you could pull off. If you like Hocus Pocus, you and two friends could be the main witches and blow everyone away. If you are lazy like me and you want an easy costume you could dress up like Marley and Me. All you need is a friend and someone could be the dog and someone could be Owen Wilson. Another easy Halloween costume, you and friend could be Orange Is The New Black. All you need is an orange and a black morph suit and a sign connecting the two in the middle that says “the new”.

Think of the type of situation you are going to present this costume to. Do you want to show up to your family Halloween party dressed as a slutty bumble bee? Probably not (unless you are in the trump family). For family parties think a little more innocent/conservative. For college/high school parties it is up to you to dress like a hoe. A lot of people use Halloween as an excuse to take all their clothes off. And some people dress like every day is Halloween! (we all know one of those). Most people just pick out a costume and then add the word sexy in front of it. If Halloween is your one day of the year to dress like that and that is liberating for you and it makes you happy then go for it, you rock. But don’t think you have to dress like this. You could be a colonial princess, a butter churner queen, or a fair farmer!

If you see a clown, RUN until you don't!
