“In the real world, Halloween is when kids dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In ‘Girl World,’ Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.”
-Mean Girls
The cool breeze and changing leaves across campus can only mean one thing–Fall is officially upon us! While sipping on my first pumpkin spice latte of the season, I got to thinking about all the wonderful things about Autumn. Chunky sweaters and infinity scarves were high up on the list, but the thought of celebrating my 22nd Halloween this year was at the very tippy-top! This October, my Hallow’s Eve wish to the great Pumpkin is for everyone to look FIERCE, not floozy. Let’s throw out the age-old “cat costume” of fishnets and a black leotard and exchange it for something smart, creative and sexy.

This may not be that smart or sexy, but it’s certainly creative! Glitz it up by dressing as TLC’s favorite “Toddler and Tiaras” star. Read up on the diva’s famous sayings so you can annoy your friends all night long! Don’t forget a bottle of go go juice!
