Popular Costumes for 2008

As Halloween approaches, many of us have some party or Halloween event to go to. Since it's only once a year, don't you want to make it exciting by choosing a great costume? If you are still searching for the right one, here are some creative ideas that have been growing in popularity.

1. Sarah Palin - With the upcoming elections and the famous SNL skit with Tina Fey, Sarah Palin has become a fashion spectacle. From her hair to the famous glasses, more and more people have been seeking the Palin look. If you're looking to make that Sarah Palin transition, there are relatively cheap ways you can pull it off. Get yourself a light brown wig unless you already have similar hair color. The wig should run you about $30 to $45 and you should be able to style it to match one of her famous styles. No need to get the real hair as it will cost you a pretty penny and if this is just for a couple nights, why bother. Get yourself a pair of rimless glasses. Palin's are designed by Kazuo Kawasaki and distributed by a Los Angeles based Optical distributor, Italee Optics. They range anywhere between $200 to $400%2B. So unless you're looking to change your prescription glass frame, you can go with a cheap knock off. Finally, choose a business suit, pants or skirt and you're good to go.
2. John McCain - Another popular costume due to the upcoming elections is John McCain. This is very simple to pull off since all you need is a suit and a McCain mask.
3. Barack Obama - And another popular costume. Similar to the McCain costume, just wear a suit and the mask and you're set.
4. Flavor Flav - As much as this guy annoys me, his costume has grown in popularity with teenagers and some adults. The clock, Viking Helmet, and sun glasses come in one kit that's about $15. The outfit is sold separately for about $40 to $50.
5. Batman, Joker - The Dark Knight costumes have grown in popularity with kids and adults. There are different versions of the costumes ranging from the simple costume to the more expensive, more defined and durable costumes. Take a look for yourselves and you'll be able to see the obvious differences. Overall, all versions of the costumes are good and if you're like me, you'll only be wearing this a couple of times this year so no point in spending a fortune.
