So, what costume are you?

If you answered mostly As: You are the elaborately ornate queen, glamorous movie star or even creepily detailed monster. This is your time of year, so you go big. Be sure to keep your creative reputation sterling with another great costume.

If you answered mostly Bs: You are that funny, topical costume that is the hit of every party. Perhaps you are an embattled politician, or the latest tabloid star, but whatever you are, it’s certainly timely. Start scanning the Internet and gossip sites now to find your target this year.

If you answered mostly Cs: You are a long, beautiful wig (maybe even in a funky color.) You are easy, quick and convenient, but still fun and festive. Whether it is a wig, or just a simple accessory, be sure to find a little something to show your kids that you are in the spirit.

If you answered mostly Ds: You are the t-shirt that reads, “Boo!” We kid. Maybe dressing up isn’t your thing. No big deal. If you don’t get into dressing up yourself, why not dress up your home or office a bit? Add some spider webs or pumpkins to keep you in your usual outfit, and festive.

No matter what costume fits you best, both literally and figuratively, there are plenty of ways to celebrate the fun this Halloween. So whether you dress up or just go out, embrace the spirit and enjoy yourself!
