Solid Celebrity Masks
Fancy dress costumes and Halloween balls will be all the rage in a few weeks, so finding a great character to go as will be a challenge, and right now not everyone can, or would want, to spend a lot of money on something like hiring a costume to wear, so an easy way out of the bind is to go ahead and get a celebrity mask that you can use, and can usually re-use over and over for not too much money.
The best thing about going this route, a celebrity mask, is that theres not that much needed to be like them. Theyre people, just like us, so dressing like them isnt going to be too great a challenge (no 400 lb Paris Hiltons, please!) you simply have to wear clothes like theirs, slap on the mask and presto! An instant Ronald Reagan if youre wearing a good suit. The masks themselves arent that much to buy, usually less than twenty dollars, so the expense side is taken care of, and with just a little imagination you can defiantly make this work.
Finding the masks will also be no challenge for you. Most if not all stores will be carrying some of them towards the holidays, and if you want something really wacky and out there (like a klingon) then theres always the internet. From the web you can find a mask for just about anyone in the public eye, and if you really want to go old school celebrity masks can be found on ebay for pennies on the dollar, if thats an avenue that you want to go down. With most masks unless youre allergic to latex theyll work for anyone, anytime, and have great staying power so you will get more than one use from your celebrity mask over time, so choosing wisely now will save you money later on down the line.
As with most things, just picking someone thats current but a fad will likely not be recognized next year (in some cases next week) so do be careful in who or what you pick, as like any costume get together, you WANT people to recognize who your celebrity mask is of, not needing to tell people is half the battle at a party. So choose wisely, remember you want to use it again, and dont forget its all about having fun, and making merciless jokes on those poor celebrities lives and styles.
