@ms_priestypants: Theresa G. is that rare combination of horrifying/stupidly awesome. It worked because it was more of a skit than a sight gag, and Kelly was spot on. You can't really 'dress up' as Theresa anyway - it's like doing a hobo costume and saying you're Boxcar Willie. #halloween
@jerusalemcricket: and she did the headband/no forehead thing! The only way it could have been better is if she was clutching an onyx doric column. #halloween
You know, the Gawker recommendations were helpful and all -- but seriously, the the Mad Men John Deer idea would just be too much work.
I do like the conceptual-costume-concept, but I prefer to go with a little less effort when it comes to execution. This year I'm going as a "work in progress," which doesn't even require me to finish getting dressed.
Costume: Julia Child (or, Meryl Streep as Julia Child) What You'll Need: Mouse-brown wig with short loose curls, blouse with a somewhat suggestive neckline, skirt (on the tighter side, above knees), apron (or kitchen towel tucked into skirt), strands of pearls, pearl earrings, wooden spoon and other kitchen tools in apron pocket. Extra: Prop glass of wine. Works Best For: Tall women or men who are not skinny. Bonus: Annoy everyone around you by speaking the entire evening in Child’s distinctive hooty falsetto.

Hm, I like the first one, but I worry it would just come across as "Puffy Patrick Bateman." Or, worse, I used to work at McKinsey, so "Puffy 4-Years-Ago Me." Eeek, maybe I'll just be a toilet paper mummy again. #halloween
Damnit. I am so being Anna Wintour (she was the backup for my first choice, Lady Gaga) and was really happy you hadn't mentioned her. Now you ruined it! I was really looking forward to giving people disapproving looks all night while standing in a corner with my arms crossed. #halloween

Because a Venn diagram of Mad Men viewers and Regis & Kelly viewers looks like boobs. #halloween

Yeah next year, why don't they go as Sophronia and Gissippus from Boccaccio's Decameron? #halloween
