Halloween has arrived.

If you go to a party school, this is old news. It probably arrived six days ago.

If you go to a school that likes to follow the holiday calendar a little more closely, you’ve probably only celebrated two nights so far.  But even two nights is a lot for one costume. Let’s face it, you can’t squeeze into that sweaty, beer-stained, make-up covered costume one more time.

Halloween: It’s always been October 31, always been the orange shaded region of the calendar, but for some reason this year, it has gone unnoticed.  Maybe you blame your blinding lust for Pumpkin Spiced Lattes, your desperate need to study for midterms, or your manic desire to watch every college football game, but Halloween is here and it’s time to get a costume. The good news is, I’m sure Halloween USA still has a slutty nurse or a slutty pirate hanging on the rack – carbon copies of every other college girl’s costume – so go out and get one of these before it’s too late!

I’m kidding. Please don’t do that.

This year, get creative, get inspired and get attention with some of these last-minute costumes ideas – guaranteed to make Halloween a night you won’t forget (again.)

Sexy (err, or Slutty) Costumes:

Girl’s Gone Wild Censored Girl.  If you’ve got a rocking body and don’t mind showing it off, put on a pair of jeans and a nude strapless bra. Attach a piece of thick, black cardboard to the bra and with white paint, write, “CENSORED” on the cardboard.  You’ll be the hottest girl at the party and your parents will be so proud.

Walk of Shame. If you live anywhere near a frat house, you know what this girl looks like. With one broken heel, smudged make-up, and wild sex hair, this girl has definitely had a good night. Add a boyfriend’s (wrongly-buttoned) t-shirt and a pair of boy-cut panties to really make this look authentic.

Halloweekend 2010 is finally here, and after a week of warming up between all-nighter study sessions for midterms and all-nighter sexy time, the costumed craziness continues through to Monday morning’s walk of shame.

But in case you haven’t thrown together a simple outfit yet, or if you simply don’t feel like spending all of next week detagging and/or Photoshopping drunken photos, here are a few CC-approved options to still keep your weekend productive:

Brush up on your 2010 World Series speak. It’s the perfect conversation topic post-Halloweekend (and we don’t just mean with frat boys).

(Try to) plan your perfect class schedule. Just like every other semester, it’s worth a try.

Do something for yourself to cheer you up amidst midterm mania (and these tips are still as effective post-grad!)

Stream “It Gets Better” videos on YouTube. Warning: the onscreen inspiration is addicting!

Stir up enough courage and finally submit that Morning After story. Whether centered around your big boobs or the smaller body parts of others, we’ll take it – anonymously, of course!

Win a free beer pong table! With a steady hand and your incognito camera-phone abilities, it’ll be easy to turn a few annoying costumed college kids in October into your next drinking game in November.

Happy Halloween!

Somewhere between midterms and fall parties and oversized flannel shirts paired with black leggings tucked into slouchy crochet style Uggs, it hits you. It’s Halloween crunch time. One morning you roll out of bed and realize your roommates have already perfected their Village People getup, your best friend and her boyfriend are pop culture referencing the shiz out of Taylor and Kanye, and your pseudo-fratty neighbors have their imitation silk Wal-Mart robes ready to make Hugh Hefner proud.

But with T-minus 36 hours to arguably the biggest party night (week?) of the year, you got nothing. Eff. You need to throw something awesome together fast.

Never fear.

Here’s a quick list of insta-costumes, all using stuff you probably have in your closet already or can snap up at Target on the cheapsies.

Super Hero: Mid-drift baring Wonder Woman costumes are so overdone. And also $60. Ouch. Save yourself the cash and the killer ab workout and opt for bright swimsuit bottoms over leggings, topped with a cami or another snug-fitting top. Decorate with your monogram in masking tape or Google image search a cause—maybe you’ll be super pizza bagel girl, or captain celebrity gossip. Complete the look with one of those thick workout headbands; fashion a cape from a sheet, or make a run to the fabric store for something snazzier. Wear boots and recruit sidekicks.

Beyonce: This one may take a little more effort (and guts) but if you got it, work it. You can pick up a black leotard at Wal-Mart, or any dance supply store. From there, all you need is a gaudy ring, tall heels, taller hair (great time to break out the Bump It) and YouTube dance moves. Convince the boyf, or another suitable male, to go as Jay-Z. Otherwise, live it up as a single lady. Hello, Sasha Fierce. Read More »
