The spooky season is now upon us. Halloween is right around the corner, and a panic has stricken this country. Everywhere, people are flustered trying to come up with a brilliant costume that will not only show a keen sense of humor, but a strong handle on current events. Your worry stops here, with the top 13 Halloween costumes for this year.
1) Miley Cyrus’s Tongue. She can’t stop, and won’t stop showing it off; so why not embrace it and let your friends spend the night dancing with Miley(‘s tongue)?
2) Anthony Weiner’s iPhone. The phone that’s seen Weiner’s… well, you know. Basically, all this one needs is a piece of cardboard painted to look like an iPhone screen; with sad, defeated eyes that have seen more than they should have.
3) Sandra Bullock in “Gravity.” Even though this movie just came out, it’s taking the movie world by storm. Everyone is talking about it. For this one, you’ll need an astronaut suit and a little sign that says, “Help me!”
4) The Lonely Washington Monument. Ever since the government shut down, all national parks and monuments have been closed. For a lonely Washington Monument, all you need is an all-white outfit, and a few cats.
5) 50 Shades of Grey. For the Halloween costume commitment-phobes, this is a very easy, very obvious costume. Just wear multiple tones of gray!
6) Baby North West. A compass and a blinged-out pacifier is all you need to dress up as the best baby OF ALL TIME.
7) The Royal Baby Bump. The Duchess of Cambridge’s stomach was the talk of the summer. Everyone was eagerly awaiting the birth of the royal baby. Bonus points if you enlist friends to follow you around and announce everything you do in fake British accents.
8) Amanda Bynes. Personally, I’m still rooting for her. I want to see her make a complete 180 and go back to the adorable actress we once knew and loved. In the meantime, her blue hair and oversized sunglasses would make a great costume.
9) Robin Thicke at the VMAs. You know “Blurred Lines” is going to be on the party playlist anyway, so why fight it? Just wear a black and white striped suit and go nuts when they play your song. And if you decide in the middle of the evening that you don’t like your costume, you could easily turn it into a Betelgeuse guise.
10) An Angry Congressman Yelling about Obamacare. A suit, some vocal cords that won’t quit, and an irrational fear of change is all you need to complete the look.
11) The Reunited *NSync. Later on in the night, don’t be surprised if the person who’s dressed up as Justin Timberlake kicks the rest of the band out of the party. I’m still bitter about that tiny performance at the VMA’s…
12) The Harlem Shake. I’m going to be honest, I don’t know how you dress up like the most annoying song and dance combo in the history of the Internet, but if you can pull it off, you’ll be legendary!
13) Grumpy Cat. Everyone’s favorite frowning cat. Really you can just find a cat costume and scowl all night. Will you have fun? Absolutely not, you hate fun.
