*Add a McCain/Palin tee or button to either of these to make them more political.

The costume I'm wearing right now cost me $.29, plus tax. ;)

I found a red devil's horns headband at Goodwill for $.29, so I grabbed it. I added a red sweater I already had, and rummaged through my fabric to find red fleece, which I cut into the shape of a tail. I had some red glitter glue from last Christmas, and added swirls onto the tail. ;)

Here's an idea Suzanne - you can put it in the "SCARY" category.

Just draw a big 401K on a white t-shirt... I know mine scares me!!!!

I'm going as Ashley Todd. Smearing some mascara over my eyes and drawing a backwards B on my cheek with red lipstick...doesn't get much cheaper than that.
