Top Ten Couple's Costumes
By Lisa Steadman, AKA The Relationship Journalist™
 Whether you want to be cute, sexy, scary, or somewhere in between this Halloween, these couples' costumes are sure to score big!
1. Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas
They're cute, creepy, and cool. And if you're a Tim Burton fan, what better way to pay homage to your demented director than on Hallow's Eve? (BTW, I've personally seen this couple's costume win first place in many a contest!)
2. Martha Stewart and Prison Guard
Martha may be out of jail now, but why not commemorate her incarceration with this couples costume? (And P.S. - the handcuffs will come in handy long after you leave the party!)
3. Brangelina (or if you're feeling incredibly bold go as Mad - that's Maddox to you - and baby Zahara)
Sure, you've gotta have abs of steel and killer bone structure to pull this one off, but what would Halloween be without our poster children for impossibly perfect genetics? So practice that full lipped pucker, bring on the Brad bravado, and strut your fabulous stuff as this year's "It" couple. (You know you want to!)
4. Mike and Carol Brady
Has no one told you? The seventies are back, baby! And while Christopher Knight, AKA Peter Brady has gotten the most press this year, we suggest instead paying homage to the patriarch and matriarch of everyone's favorite family, The Brady Bunch. Break out the polyester and just say groovy!!!
5. Flapper and Gangster
Nothing says danger quite like a 1920s gangster. And with your fierce (and fab) flapper by your side, you'll be one sexy duo! So strap on your sub-machine (gun), fluff that boa, and do the Charleston 'til dawn!
6. School Girl and Professor
Take every guy's fantasy out of the bedroom and into the party with the vixen/virginal school girl and her naughty professor. Not only will the two of you be a hit at whatever Halloween happening you attend (unless it's your parents' party), but you're sure to score a home run once you get home, too!
7. Tom and Katie
Yes, they were annoying. And yes, we're grateful they've taken their love underground. But don't you think it's time to once again poke fun at - I mean celebrate - this Tinseltown twosome? (And if your man is super tall? Have him dress as Ms. Holmes and you go as Tommy Boy. Just be sure to include your Scientology membership cards and secret decoder rings. Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine, Baby!)
8. Bert and Ernie
C'mon now. Ever since we hit puberty, we knew the truth about our fave Sesame Street roomies. Isn't it time we brought these guys out of the closet and into a kinder, gentler New Millennium? (Plus, haven't you always wanted to wear those striped shirts? No? Maybe it's just me...)
9. Batman and Robin
And if Muppets aren't your thing, how 'bout caped crusaders? This costume is perfect for both gay and straight couples (Robin always was a little androgenous, right?). Besides, everyone LOVES a superhero in tights. Better start doing those squats and lunges now...
10. Madonna and the horse that threw her
Put on your finest (fake) English accent, strike that injured pose, and gidde up to the party in what is sure to be this year's most talked about couple's costume. (Even Madge would get a kick out of this one. I hope.)
SIDEBAR
Costumes Guaranteed to Get You Laid
No worries, single friends. Here are some suggestions to help you score, too!
- Hottie Gardener from Desperate Housewives ('nuf said!)
- Pirate (it helps if you look like Johnny Depp!)
- French Maid (men love women who clean up after them - something about their mothers, I think.)
- Princess Leia with her hair buns and white robe (and gold bikini underneath, of course!)
- Fireman (And if you need a good pick up line when you meet the hottie dressed in his fire gear? Try this old standard, ala Samantha Jones on Sex & The City: "Hello, 911? I'm on fire.")
Costumes Guaranteed to Gross Out
If, for some reason, your ultimate goal this Halloween is to turn others off, here are the costumes guaranteed to do the trick! (And we suggest you seek therapy - seriously.)
- Osama Bin Laden (or Sadam Hussein for that matter - just be prepared to get your a$$ kicked)
- George W. Bush or Dick Cheney (regardless of your politics, would you go to bed with either of these guys???)
- Pregnant Britney Spears (Think cowboy boots and big exposed belly. Gold-digging hubby sold separately!)
- Jaba the Hut (of course, this only works if you're going to a normal party. If you're going to a Star Wars-themed party, then you'll probably get laid by some drunken chick dressed as Princess Leia)
- Donald Trump (he may have money but seriously, no one can love that hair!)
