5 Truly Unique 2011 Halloween Costume Ideas for Couples

Halloween 2011 is fast approaching. If you and your special someone are looking for a tandem costume, or a costume that needs two people to make it look right, then this article is just for you. If you have more than a shred of originality and creativity, then you will want to have a unique costume. There is no originality behind a couple who dress up as salt and pepper shakers. Boring. The pirate and lady pirate? Pathetic. The horse suit with the two of you inside? Please God, help me if I see one more of those.

No! You want to have unique themed costumes. Here are 5 truly unique costumes for couples for this year’s Halloween.

1) Democrat and Republican. If one of you is a Democrat and the other is a Republican then I feel sorry for the Democrat because you will never win or get a word in. So why not play it up on Halloween? You can either dress up as a donkey and an elephant, or make it better.

The Democrat can wear all-things Democrat – blue suit, “I love Obama” shirt with “Eat the rich” on the back. You can carry a stuffed donkey. Wear a ‘Just Say No to Nixon’ pin. Wear a bleeding heart on your chest (make it out on construction paper or use a plastic toy heart). You get the idea. Play it up.

The Republican can wear red. Wear devil horns. Wear an “I love Rush Limbaugh” shirt. Carry an elephant, or ride a real one if possible (probably not possible). Carry a sign that says “NO welfare, NO unemployment, NO big government, NO taxes for the rich”. Have something associated with oil – Exxon pin, photo of high gas prices, a remote control Hummer… The two of you should also be covered in red tape.

2) Baseball player and steroid needle. The guy can dress as a baseball player (full uniform, glove, hat, cup, bat, everything). He also needs to have huge inflatable muscles everywhere. Use balloons or stuff socks in all your clothes. Just make it look like you are a massive steroid beast. Your partner needs to dress up as a steroid needle. You can print stencils online and then cut them out of paper or cardboard. Occasionally you should stick the player. Keep it clean.

3) Many faces of Lady Gaga. She has made a career of always reinventing herself. Pick two of her most famous outfits and recreate them. Two of her best are the meat suit and the greaser man. The meat suit is simply a suit made of different cuts of meat. If you want to attach random meats to a suit, so be it. Or you can use fake meats found at toy stores or created on your own. The greaser man outfit was the one she wore to the 2011 MTV Music Awards Show. It was her dressed up as a man who was a greaser or wise guy type. Think Sopranos. Note – the female needs to wear the greaser man costume. Slick the hair back, wear a tight white t-shirt and old jeans. Make sure all clothing is dirty. Attach fake facial hair – a mustache is great. And don’t forget to hold hands. A radio playing Lady Gaga music would be cool, too.

4) Rocky and Adrian. You want to look like original 1976 Rocky and Adrian. Rocky should be in Rocky boxing trunks, boxing gloves, cape, Italian Stallion shirt, anything that he wore in the first movie. Adrian needs to look like the Adrian from the pet store (in the first movie). She needs the Adrian glasses, the bookworm-ish clothing/dress. Just watch the movie for ideas/tips, or google the images. You also need the shy girl attitude.

5) Blue Man Group + Smurfette. Have yourself a happy blue Halloween. One of you should dress up as a member of the Blue Man Group and the other should be Smurfette. Blue Man Group is simple. Paint your head and hands blue and then put on all black clothing. Smurfette is a great choice since The Smurfs are popular again due to the release of the movie. Best bet for her is to buy a Smurfette costume. Now hold hands and kiss. It will look oh so cool.
