Vampires
Get ready to don some dark clothes, tousled hair and fangs because the vampire trend doesn’t seem to be dying down. Between Twilight, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries, there are plenty of blood suckers to love. It’s up to you to decide if you want to be a scary or sexy vamp.
Gaga, ooh-la-la. There are so many ways to pay tribute to the Lady. You can go with the meat dress, as male alter ego Jo Calderone, in a giant egg being carried by shirtless men or even classic Gaga with a lightning bolt on your face. Gaga makes it easy to be Gaga by wearing costumes on a daily basis and for this, we thank her.
Female Popstars
Following in Gaga’s outrageous footsteps are Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna and Ke$ha. It’s like a secret contest to see who can dress the most outrageous. These talented ladies are all very inspirational – especially when it comes to Halloween!
Our favorite little “Guidette” continues to be in the public eye which is lucky for us, since her look is so conducive to this holiday. All you need is an Elvira wig, a fake tan and a dress two sizes two small and voila! You’re Snookified!
It wouldn’t be Halloween without some sexy men in uniform! Now’s your chance to take your fantasy outside the bedroom and into your favorite club or bar! Everyone loves a sexy cop, a sexy Marine or a sexy mailman!
This year marked the end of the Harry Potter series. A lot of fans are having a hard time letting go. Now is the time to pay tribute – dress up as your favorite Potter character! Go with Harry, Ron, Hermione or take to the dark side as Severus Snape or Voldemort!
Everyone’s favorite puppet couple sure have been getting a lot of press this year. Are they just roommates or are they life partners? We know the truth. Celebrate their Muppet love by grabbing a friend and dressing up as the beloved duo.
Whether you want to be Sue Sylvester or a Cheerio, the local costume stores have you covered. Glee characters are going to be a big trend this year. (Even better if you can sing or dance).
Charlie Sheen’s manic episodes didn’t just entertain us – they inspired us for Halloween! Several Halloween chain stores are selling Charlie masks, wigs, fedoras, glasses and flasks of “Tiger Blood” and t-shirts that say “Winning.” Grab two of your sleaziest looking girlfriends to pose as your “Goddesses” for that extra hit of Sheen!
Although these are the most popular looks, we know we will see a lot of creative and over-the-top costumes this Halloween. Whether you decide to go scary, sexy or silly, we hope you give it your all. After all, Halloween is known as “Gay Christmas.”
