I've share posts about Halloween costume ideas for couples, toddlers, babies and those trying not to break the bank. This time, I thought I'd share some show stoppers that are sure to get you noticed (and possibly punched) -- my picks for the most controversial Halloween costume ideas for 2009.
Illegal Alien: This costume has been getting a lot of publicity (most negative) and is definitely a controversial choice. I personally wouldn't wear it but can see how it might get you some attention at the party.
Fat Jessica Simpson: This is an easy DIY costume. All you need are mom jeans, a black tank top, blond wig, stuffing for your bra and bum and a microphone. In poor taste, yes, but given how good she's looked recently I think you can pull it off in good fun.
Swine Flu: Definitely going to be a popular costume this year and very easy and cheap to make. You just need a pig nose, blanket, bed head, box of tissues and thermometer.


Michael Vick (and dog): This one could get you punched by animal lovers (picture attack by a bunch of girls dressed up as sexy cats) but it is definitely a timely costume. You need a Michael Vick Falcons jersey which they do still sell and a stuffed pitbull looking dog. I would probably throw in some handcuffs to show your support for his punishment and avoid getting beaten up at the party.
Laid off iBanker: This isn't too offensive to most but I wouldn't wear it to a costume party in NYC.All you need is a power suit and cardboard box filled with greedy goodies from your old desk.
Biggest Show on Earth: You can buy this online and it is quite funny. The elephant trunk cracks me up. It's offensive in a playful way. In case you can't read the image, the sign on the tent reads "Biggest Show on Earth" and there is an elephant trunk coming out of the tent.
Balloon Boy -- Falcon Heene: This is a very cute costume but I would feel bad about making fun of this little boy.
Really Bad Taste:
WARNING: The next two costumes are Truly in Poor Taste..Read at own risk.

Mackenzie and John Phillips: You'll need an equally non-pc person to dress up with you. Girl should dress in 70s clothes with curly wig and tee shirt that says "Daddy's Girl." Man should dress up as 70s hippie (see photo) with creeper mustache and carry a microphone. Ick factor is high on this one but you might get points for creativity.
Rhianna and Chris Brown: Again you'll need a partner in crime to to pull this one off. Girl should be all dressed up for Grammys and have fake black eyes, fake blood on torn dress etc. Guy should be wearing dirty tux shirt with blood on it. WARNING: This one is highly offensive.
