Last minute costume ideas

Movies can teach us a lot of things. In this particular case it can teach us how to dress up for that "costume required" party with minimum cost of effort. These are not miracles costumes, they are half-assed costumes that will look like half-assed last minute costumes. Yet they will allow you to get into the party.

Costume one: Paranoid, UFO investigator, or conspiracy theorist
As seen in: Signs

Photobucket

Construction: Take tinfoil, wrap it around your head. In less then a minute your ready to go.

Costume two: God, or really anyone else you want to be.
As seen in: Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Season four episode called Fear Itself. worn by the character Oz

Photobucket

Consturction: Find a name tag, a label, or a few pieces of masking tape. Write hello my name is God. Insert other name if so desired.

Costume three: Anime Character
As Seen In: The overall genre Anime

Photobucket

Construction: This costume works best on people whose hair is mid length, or at least not too closely cut. Get hair gel, hair spray, and spray on hair color. Grab sections of your hair and gel them so that they are pointing out in random directions. There is no such thing as too much hairspray for this costume, the wilder the hair the better it will look. When desired look is achieved spray over with color. Wear your brightest or most outlandish clothing.

If anyone asks you who you are tell them your an Anime character. If they ask which one say a random combination of any three word catagories Japanese names, an adjective, and a random noun. For example Yukki super clock, Aki charming blowfish, Jun Jun fast shoe.
