Consider a Ms. Beene's leg cake. Are we getting strangely comfortable with the macabre, or did the substance that oozed out of Ms. Beene when Hester poked her look exactly like pudding? Hack this "pudding poke" cake by frosting it with icing instead of whip and cutting it into a leg shape—and, you know, you can kind of play fast and loose with the outline, since she's been dead for weeks.
The sorority-girl costume ideas are endless. Lucky for whoever wants to go as the Chanels in flying-V format, pastels are in for fall. Forever 21 is drowning in cropped fuzzy sweater options, and you actually might get to wear them again this year.
So you and your friend both want to be Skylar? No problem. One of you can be everyday Skylar, toggling between this cap and this black beanie until someone finally asks you what the deal is with your hat habit. The other can put on a slick homage-within-an-homage to How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days (Target's cheapie online bridesmaid collection FTW). Diego Boneta w/ridiculously-on Matthew McConaughey impression not included, but you can recruit someone when you get there.
BTW, Dean Munsch is obviously as comfy a costume as there is in this world. Step one: high-necked nightgown. Step two: ebony glasses. Step three: soullessness with sass. If you know you're gonna fall asleep in your costume anyway, you may as well wear this one.
You could dress a person as the Red Devil, but you know what would be even cuter and a lot more affordable? The above. Trust, your pet has some grudges he or she would like to settle anyway. ($12.99 at Target)
