Halloween 2009: Costume Ideas for Women

Halloween 2009 is fast approaching and women everywhere are scrambling for ideas for Halloween costumes. The following list suggests some ideas for Halloween costumes for women who don't want to buy a generic angel or maid costume from the costumer store.

Lady Gaga
The best thing about a Lady Gaga costume is that, although it will be a popular Halloween costume in 2009, there are many outfits from which to choose. Lady Gaga has a lot of zany outfits, none of which she really repeats more than once. Moreover, women can pull off a Lady Gaga costume by creating their own spin on her style of futuristic headwear, glitzy dresses, and a blonde wig. The best bet for women is to search countless Google images of the rookie pop star. Amazon.com has some Lady Gaga costume accessories for sale.

Sarah Palin
The Palin costume">Sarah Palin costume is a surefire way to get a laugh. All women need for a Sarah Palin Halloween costume is a pair of Tina Fey glasses, a Miss Alaska pageant sash, and a faux hunting rifle. The sash and rifle are optional, but the glasses are the most important part of the Sarah Palin costume, as well as dropping phrases like "mavericky" and "ya betcha." Amazon.com carries a Sarah Palin glasses and sash combo, or the sexier Sarah Palin bikini/gun/glasses/sash combo for a little extra.

Britney Spears
The Britney Spears Halloween costume is a perennial favorite for women (and some men), with many costume possibilities from Britney's tumultuous career. From schoolgirl outfit to sexy ringmaster to redneck mom, there's a lot of ways women can go with this costume, so as to allow multiple Britney Spears costumes at the Halloween party. Amazon has a variety of Britney Spears Halloween costumes available.
Female Vampire
The female vampire costume will be one of the hottest Halloween costumes for women this year. Whether it's Bella from the Twilight movies or Sookie Stackhouse from the HBO vampire drama True Blood, there will be lots of fangs and blood this Halloween. Bella and Sookie have unique styles of clothing, but true fans will know how to replicate their looks.

Michelle Obama
The Michelle Obama costume will just be an excuse for women to dress gracefully on Halloween night. Unfortunately, the Michelle Obama mask available on Amazon.com isn't very flattering, but the Michelle Obama wig should do the job.
