Top ten Halloween costumes to never wear:
These are the over-used, tacky, and just plain stupid costumes that are seen every year.  Here is a list to help you stray from these scares.
1. Rodent of any kind
2. Feline of any kind
3. Animal of any kind
4. Sports fan (come on people, let’s use our creativity)
5. One direction
6. Political figure (let the media make fools of them, save your energy)
7. Barbie and/or bunny
8. Painted handprints on your legs with spandex and a tank top does not make up a costume…keep trying girls
9. Lacrosse pennies should be saved for practice boys, they are not a costume
10. Anything from your childhood that is not portrayed in a childish way (i.e. “trampy” girl scout, baby, etc.)

Top ten Halloween costumes that are acceptable to wear:
These are the costumes acceptable, funny, and mostly original.  Hope the list helps you to steer your statement-making all time best costumes for Halloween 2012.
1. Pastry dish of any kind
2. Pumpkin and/or fall festivity
3. Body builder (have fun with that one)
4. Any character from Star Wars/Harry Potter/Batman
5. IPhone, this changes Halloween. Again. Not really.
6. Fruit or fruit basket
7. Multiple people gathered as an army of gingerbread men
8. Loose and liberally conveyed political figures
9. Two people portraying sister wives
10. Hillbilly, hobo, or comically conveyed hipster
