Halloween Costume tips

Alright so I do know that, yes, Halloween is passed, but you can still use these tips, if you remember them and if you do but next Halloween I'll give you brownie points, if you remember that I'll give you brownie points if you remember these tips.

  • Tip 1: You have to be able to search and to search long and hard. Sometimes to best of costumes are in the bottom of your closet. You have to look and learn to ask for things. Having lots of friends with variety of fashion styles helps a lot, but if you don't, you can always go to the Good Will. (maybe get some friends there) However, if you don't find anything at the Good Will AND you don't have any friends, well, there's not much I can do for ya, except maybe ask some enemies for clothes.
  • Tip 2: Along with searching for things you have to be able to settle for less. You won't always find the exact thing, but you CAN always find something that close enough that works.
  • Tip 3: If all of the above don't work, you have to accept defeat. In which case you can go with what you got, or find something else to be. If you don't have one element of a certain costume, like not having boots for a pirate costume, just go with out. Although if it's a critical item, it's not going to work. If your going to be a Cowboy and you don't boots or a hat, it's not gonna work for you, you should go as "Look, I was trying to be a Cowboy, but my boots and hat from kindergarten don't fit and this is the only other thing I got."
  • Tip 4: It is absolutely essential to have the attitude of whatever you are. Your costume is an absolute FAILURE if you can not play the part. If you're a pirate you can't walk or talk like yourself, you have to walk and talk like a pirate. If your a Cowboy but you ain't good at that whole accent thing you can't be a Cowboy Partner. Once you get into that costume you are that thing until you take it off. All kinds of costumes and Halloweens are ruined every year because people fail to act like their character. It does not work people, you can't do it. So don't be a pirate if you can't BE a pirate. It's all about attitude.
  • Tip 5: Be creative. Don't do what every else does. Don't be the normal vampire, go against the gain. Also go against the normal stereotype, when I was a pirate did you see a eye-patch? NO! because it's such a cliche pirate thing. There were probably A LOT of pirates without peg legs, eye-patches, and hooked hands. So think for yourself, don't let other people tell you what to do. It's your Halloween be who YOU want to be, don't follow the crowd. I know you can be creative. It's not hard. Go as your Mom if you have to, that's creative and easy. You just say, "Hey Mom can I borrow some clothes?" I don't care! Just something, anything outside the norm.

......So I hope you listen to my tips and get ready for Halloween for next year so you don't have to throw together a costume at the last minute.... oh and HAVE FUN!!!
