			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While some people spend a lot of time preparing their Halloween costume and getting into the crafty side, others don&#8217;t have time and have to get theirs in the local store. Now, that can go either way: you can look like a cheap character of one of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Wood" target="_blank">Ed Wood&#8217;s movies</a>, or you can rock the place. If you want the second option, there are some simple tips you should consider before buying your Halloween outfit:</p>
<p>-<strong>Quality Over Quantity</strong>: If your costume is going to be simple, pick a quality item over a bunch of accessories that have no Halloween value. Don&#8217;t go with that cheap wig and a beach shirt dressed up as &#8220;the wig dude&#8221;. There is no such thing as a wig dude, and people know it. Halloween is like the Oscars of the holidays: if you get a perfect imitation of a famous character, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuddMEmnWEo" target="_blank">you&#8217;ll get an award for sure!</a> Choose an emblematic element, such as <a href="www.halloween2-movie.com/" target="_blank">Mike Myers original mask</a> (pick a good one, otherwise no one will be scared) and stick to your character.</p>

<p><strong>-Get in the Mood: </strong>While some girls prefer to be the sexy vampire, others might want to use that long black hair and whisper <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuddMEmnWEo" target="_blank">&#8220;seven days&#8221;</a>. For a guy? Wear jeans, a leather jacket, take a (fake) axe, and greet your friends with a creepy <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TVooUHN7j4" target="_blank">&#8220;Here&#8217;s Johnny!&#8221;</a>. If you have the looks, try Baby Firefly. If you have the attitude, the rest will come.</p>

<p>-<strong>Get Something That Will Fit Your Body Type:</strong> If you don&#8217;t have the time to elaborate a concept, choose something that will make you look good. This will make people forget that you were lazy and didn&#8217;t work enough for your costume.Now, if your laziness goes beyond any possible effort, try some humor. Laughter is the best medicine:</p>
