I not sure if this belongs here or in MPSIMS, but I need an idea for a haloween costume. Please respond by 10:00 PM, or it’s too late. ---

Female, be Brittney Spears…basically a schoolgirl outfit…a SLUTTY one, w/the shirt tied up and tall boots…if you’re male w/long hair…be Jesus! Carry a big cross and shit…if you’re male w/short hair (or you just don’t like any other suggestions) runo over your clothes and say you were hit by a car 😃 ---

Oh damn…hmmm…you need something you can toss together fast…dress in drag! If you have a sister or a female friend it should work…I actually did that a few years ago (And I’m female!) People thought I was my boyfriend’s older brother…oh well:) ---

I’m against drag, and painting myself in any way. And actually I can wait until about 11:00 PM EST. ---

The cat face always worked for me. I much prefer makeup to masks. And I never wear like a whole costume. Just fur cuffs and ears or something. Who needs a heavy costume to dance in? But this year, it’s special. (I just hope someone takes a picture I can post.) ---

This is late, but oh well. It’s funny to go as a cereal killer. You take a fake knife/axe and put it through a cereal box. Get it? A cereal (serial) killer? hahahahahahahahaha! ---
