Holy shit people, it's almost halloween and I still haven't built my Optimus Prime costume! The only piece I have left to find is the grill of a semi, preferably one that will fit a 37 inch chest.
I know what your thinking -

Internet: "Armen, who gives two fucks about your costume what am I gonna do?"

Armen: "Quit being such a dick internet and maybe I can help!"

Internet: "Sorry, it's just that H day is so close and we've got no ideas? Plus we spent all are cash on photoshoped nudie pic's of Kelly Clarkson."

Armen: "HOT! here's some really fantastic ideas I found by surfing around your part of town"

Check your local Halloween USA they may have a buy 1 get 1 free sale.
Find a friend who can sew, chip in on some cost effective fabric and walaaaaa!
Keep it simple! find an old bed sheet with tons of stains on it you won't miss (you can find them easy with a black light if you have one) grab a sharpy and people will be saying "One time I saw a ghost!"
Elephants are in this year, I think it's the chinese zodiac animal. Find a kid's stuffed animal, cut it up and strap it on. People will be dazzled not only by a sweet costume but that your in tune with your animal self.
These guys got it 100% right. Use what you already have and accentuate it with a dab of paint. You don't have to be an artist yourself, just find an arts & crafts person whose comfortable with naked human bodies and have them apply the desired design. Make sure to shave everywhere first, paint is a bitch to get out of hair.

Armen: "Feel better internet?"

Internet:" Lots! were gonna be an elephant ghost!"

Armen: "Say, that'll be great!"

Happy Hauntings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
