Creative Last Minute Costumes

Halloween is on a Monday this year but if you are an adult that means Halloween parties might be happening this weekend. I have a few tips and tricks up my sleeve that might help you with coming up with a costume.

1. Sick and Tired of Homework

If you are in school this costume will be very easy. Grab a stack of your books, notebooks, pens, or any school supplies. Stick a thermometer in your mouth. Take some purple eyeshadow and red lipstick and make sure you smear the shit out of it under your eyes to get that "I CAN'T EVEN!!" look. To really play up this costume, crash in a corner of your friends party and complain about your homework and say that you are running a fever. Remember, commitment is key.

2. Zombie Starbucks Barista

This should be easy if you are a Starbucks barista. If not make friends with a Starbucks barista and borrow their apron and hat. Make sure you darken your eyes with a purple or red eyeshadow. Take a red lipstick and draw on some fake blood. If you are talented pick up some small tube of fake blood and some moldable wax at a Party City to create fake wounds. Grab a Starbucks cup and place a fake organ in it. I found this plastic liver at Dollar Tree.

3. Mia Wallace (Pulp Fiction) with a Red Bucket

This Halloween should highlight originality. Mia Wallace, a character from the classic film Pulp Fiction, has an iconic look. White shirt, black bra, black pants, black bobbed haircut and gold Chanel slippers are the staples to get this costume look. If you don't have a black wig, never fear, stick a bucket on your head and dance the night away to "You Never Can Tell" by Chuck Berry. Everyone will know who you are and completely disregard that bucket on your head.

4. Al Borland

Al Borland was and still is the beloved co-host with Tim Taylor on the classic 90s TV show Home Improvement. Grab a pair of jean, a plaid shirt and find some tools laying around the house, BAM! You're instantly transformed into Al Borland. If you have a beard, great! If you don't grab a eyeliner pencil and an awesome beard.

5. Classic Ghost

Toss a white sheet on yo-self. Boo!

6. Feminist Bookstore Owner

If you watch Portlandia on IFC, you will instantly recognize this character. Throw on a chunky cable knit sweater and a long skirt in the most drabbiest colors. Anything will do so long as you have to skin showing and make sure you layer for that extra "Toni and Candace" look. I also found this long unbrushed wig and stuck it on my head. You can buy a wig if you want or if you have long hair; make sure you keep it down. Carry some books and give a judgemental stare.

Please feel free to use any of these ideas and know that anything can be a Halloween costume. Share your Halloween costume by tagging @BittyGiant on INSTAGRAM and use #BittyGiantHalloween.
