Wittystumes Everyone loves a good pun, abstract concept or witticism translated on your body, so why not go as something people will actually want to see and learn about? Now this is generally the route I like to go on my Halloweens because it's really the most fun. These are usually the cheapest because it's more about people getting that you're telling a joke with your outfit than actually telling it well. Here are a few examples of my best Wittystumes. Pregnant Prom Queen: I was 16, going to high school in New York City and I felt like going as a stereotype; so I showed up to my 8AM Geometry class in a full length emerald green evening gown, tiara, sash and baby bump. Needless to say, people were fawning over me all day and I was quite a distraction! Miss Congeniality: Freshman year of college I bought a tackier version of the pink satin dress Marylin Monroe wore in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. It was skin tight, covered in bows and had ass ruffles that would make those bitches from the Age of Innocence jealous. I did it up with a platinum blonde wig (which everyone thought was natural) and scary heavy makeup. Mail Order Bride: This has to be one of my favorites, I was a mail order bride, I made my entire costume... out of shipping supplies. I had a bubble wrap gown, a bubble wrap veil, shoes covered in packing tape and twine and my outfit was accented with packing peanut jewelry. Where To Shop: Now I'm all about authenticity and if you want something to look good and be cheap you've got to go vintage. For all my New Yorkers out there, vintage shops can be pretty pricey shy of Salvation Armani (which is just gross sometimes) Beacon's Closet could work but my numero uno recommendation this Halloween season is Reminiscence. It's basically Halloween all year round there, they've got different sizes, fabulous dresses and menswear and most things are under $40.
