10/31/07 - Scared you'll never find a costume in time for tonight's party? Never fear, Costume Girl is here, and I've composed a list of easy last-minute costume ideas just for you.
No one wants to see a million bed sheet-clad "ghosts" running around campus, so, please, if that's your plan, read on.
8. White Trash Wedding:
This is a really easy couples costume. All you "brides" need is a white mini skirt and a short white top. You can either go barefoot or throw on some trashy-looking white heels and tease your hair and you're good to go.
The "grooms" could go with a tuxedo T-shirt and jeans, and, of course, some slightly greasy looking hair is a bonus. To complete the look, just slip on a pair of beat-up tennis shoes.
7. Sexy Nurse:
For all you female nursing majors, this is easy. Just grab your lab coat and some heels and maybe put on some smoky eye shadow and mascara and you're done.
6. Mad Scientist:
Don't worry, guys. You can still get use out of your lab coat if being a sexy nurse is too much for you. Just put it on with an Oxford, khakis and loafers, and gel your hair into some crazy messy spikes and you're a mad scientist. Complete the look with some crooked big glasses, and possibly a gray hairstreak.
5. Your Mom:
If you have any of mom's old clothes lying around, this one's really easy. Just throw together a nice matronly-looking outfit and spray paint parts of your hair gray if you can.
Make sure to either leave your hair un-styled and messy or in a tight bun, or pin it up to look like a bob. Throw on a pair of over-sized glasses, if you have them, and you're all set. And the best part is when people ask you what you are, you get to say, "your mom."
4. Sex and Candy:
For all you RAs out there, or those of you that like to poke fun at them, here's an easy take on those infamous sex and candy jars. Just tape condoms and candy all over your clothes and you're good to go.
