Ok people, you’ve got a few more days to find the perfect Halloween costume. For those of you who think that’s enough

time, it’s not! I’ve been brainstorming since July (I’m a Halloween fiend OK? Some prepare for Christmas, I do Halloween. And even now, I’m still not settled on my Amy Winehouse costume just yet. I mean, yes, the woman is the perfect hot mess, but I’m bound to find a few Amy Winehouses around the Valley when I go out this weekend.) ANYWAY, I started brainstorming on other rock costumes that might be easy to put together at the last minute and came up with a few ideas that some of you pop enthusiasts might consider at the last minute. So if you’re unprepared, poor and don’t want to get stuck being the a ghost, keep reading.

Madonna - Seriously ladies (and gentlemen) this woman has a bajillion styles to choose from. From ‘Material Girl’ to pink and purple disco queen, there’s a giant catalogue to look through. Best of all, it’s not hard (unless you’re doing Madonna from the Bedtime Stories video. Then you’re on your own.) I’m thinking ’80s Madonna is the easiest and most recognizable. Throw on some black leggings, fishnet anything, a gold cross and a wrist-load of bracelets and ta-da!

Britney Spears - The only thing that irks me the most about Halloween are those sexy (fill-in-the-blank) costumes. Whether it be sexy waitress, nun, or teacher, you know you can do this at home for no money at all. This brings me to the sexy schoolgirl costume which has been immortalized by Britney. You know you’ve got a short skirt and knee socks in a drawer somewhere waiting for just such an occasion, so why buy an $80 outfit? Now if you’re looking to go as “Crazy Britney” it’s even easier. A bald cap, shorts and an umbrella will do. Hey you could even been 2007 VMA Britney with a pair of jeweled underwear and a blank stare. It’s all easy!

The White Stripes- I’ve been wanting to be Meg White for years, but I can’t seem to find someone who is willing to be Jack White. But for you couples out there that can’t agree on anything, you know what to do. Red and white are all you really need. Oh and don’t forget the black hair and pale faces! You can throw in drumsticks as props, ladies.

Amy Lee - Halloween brings out the goth in all of us, so if you’re feeling a little morbidly depressed, break out all your black garb. Just go as goth as you can. Jet black hair, pail skin, black eyeliner, lipstick, nail polish with hints of red or maroon and chains — lots and lots of chains. Guys, this works, too for a Marilyn Manson look.

Kanye West - All right, all right so Kanye’s regular wardrobe might not be suitable for Halloween, but his latest pair of shades certainly are. Match your shades with a white blazer and bright colored tie and you’re good to go. Just make sure not to trip on the dancefloor.

Those are just a few I inexpensive ways to make your Halloween original. It won’t take a lot of work and won’t leave you cashless. So hurry up. And if anyone’s got anymore suggestions. Comment below.
