More Easy Halloween Costumes

Sparkler maevi002 has a few additions to our Friday post about easy Halloween costumes. Enjoy! —SparkNotes editors

The only time of year when we can pretend to be someone else without being accused of identity theft is right around the corner. I don’t know about you, but I've been planning my Halloween costume since November 1 of last year. But for those of you who have no idea whom (or what) to transform into this year, I've developed a guide that should help in the difficult selection process. Instead of throwing on some bed sheets, try these easy costumes instead!

1. Abe Lincoln

All you need is a top hat and a black bow tie. Dressing up as Abe is a fun way to show your patriotism, and when everyone at your workplace decides to dress up as presidents on Presidents Day, you'll already have a costume ready! Don’t sweat it, girls—instead of wearing pants, throw on a pair of fishnet stockings and be “sexy” Abe Lincoln.

2. Member of The Black-Eyed Peas

This one is a classic. Paint two big P’s around your eyes, sprinkle some gold glitter on yourself (optional if you want to be Fergie) and you’re done. If anyone asks what you are, you can either claim to be a crying super hero or a one of the Peas.

3. Crash test dummy

For this, you’ll need a seat belt, some yellow tape, a pair of old sweats, and some purple and blue face paint to cover yourself in random bruises. Voila!

Any easy Halloween costumes we're forgetting? Write 'em in the comments!
