Top 2009 Musical Artist Halloween Costumes

What rock star should you be for Halloween this year? Easy! Check out these costume ideas:

The Beatles

Thank Rock Band for making this classic contemporary again. You can be John, Paul, Ringo or George, or get three friends and be the whole band.

Props: Mop-top hair wigs, instruments.

Extra credit: If you have Beatles Rock band and play it in costume at the party you are hosting.

Amy Winehouse

She may have been pulling her crazy drunken/drugged out mess routine for a while now, but it’s no less fun.

Props: Ginormous bouffant wig, blacked out teeth from hitting the pipe, ballet flats, smeared heavy cat-eye make up, track marks.

Extra credit: If you can vomit on yourself.

Kanye West

He got real close to not making the cut, but then the VMAs happened. I love his music, but good lord, what self-control synapse misfires in this guy’s brain?

Props: Sunglasses, bling, a seriously bad attitude, Beyonce‘s latest album clutched to your heart, and a young blond woman whose night you can ruin by interrupting her constantly.

Extra credit: Going the extra mile and wearing a marching band uniform.

Britney Spears

I know she’s ‘cleaned herself up,’ but who are we kidding? Hey, I said I liked hot messes.

Props: Weird, pornographic circus outfits; a dazed look on your face; chewing gum; hillbilly accent; two small children that you periodically endanger.

Extra credit: For shaving your head.

Lady Gaga

This one is just insane.

Props: A plastic bathtub, fishnet stockings, a monocle, a whip, and no pants. Or: anything else insane from your house that you can pass off as ‘haute couteur’. But definitely no pants.

Extra credit: If you can actually dance in whatever GaGa-outfit you are wearing.

Rihanna

For the envelope-pushers in the group.

Props: Short-hair-long-bangs wig, neck tattoos, black eyes. Yup, I went there.

Extra credit: If you call to cancel because of a ‘problem at home’.
