Top 15 Halloween 2010 Celebrity Costumes
Halloween 2010 is here and if you're anything like us you love to dress up and you hate to dress up. You're quietly agonizing about what to be while simultaneously finding a way to avoid pinning yourself down to a specific costume. Do you go sexy, funny, topical, obscure, retro?!!! Bah! The idea of wearing the wrong thing to school, work, that Halloween party or even trick-or-treating is enough to cause Paranormal Activity 2 type nightmares!
We know that these are big decisions and we're here to help you sort it out before it gets too late and you end up wearing that Shrek outfit from three to seven years ago...boo, hiss. (Seriously, don't.)
