Last-Minute Halloween Costume, Backwards 'B' or 'J' Victim

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and busy adults pressed for last-minute costumes generally come up with the best ideas on the fly.

If you're one of them, and there's no shame in your game, this might be the costume for you. Grab some lipstick, carve a backwards 'B' or 'J' and go as Ashley Todd. If you are a good story teller, you could draw a R for Ralph Nader or a C for Cynthia McKenny and fabricate some crazy story to go with your new three-second costume.

I know, I know, the woman who faked a politically charged black attack last week has some mental health problems and all and it's neither funny or fair.

But I think this video, which gave me the idea, is pretty funny. A Barack Obama supporter tells of being attacked by an old white man for not having a John McCain bumper sticker on his car.

Best Celebrity Halloween Costumes

21. Britney Spears bombs, but...: I am not sure what Britney Spears is dressed up to be, but she gets points for looking sober and in shape back in 2007 as she went to attend a Halloween party at Green Door in Hollywood. Still, the lack of any clear identity here lands her at the bottom of the list.

20. Hill is hilarious as...: Actor and author Hill Harper seems to be dressed as one of the Rat Pack members, but I don't remember anyone being blond. Ah, well -- he gets points for his knowledge of Hollywood history!

19. Seacrest gets scary: Ryan Seacrest is very convincing dressed as a young Dracula. The look on his face says: "You're blood would be very tasty..." That, or he just remembered that he left rice cooking on the stove.

18. Paris shows her puff: Paris Hilton posed at a Halloween party in Hollywood in 2005 dressed as a pretty Playboy bunny. Too bad her tiny booty is barely bigger than that little puff-ball tail. Still, I have to admit, she is cute.

17. Montell goes mischievous: Montell Williams was super-convincing as the Devil at the 5th Annual Heidi Klum Halloween Party in 2004. He really looks sinister in nothing more than a black suit with a few accessories. Hmmmmmmmm......

16. Mya makes us 'Wonder': Mya hosted the the JoonBug Productions' 6th Annual Masquerade Ball in New York City in 2007 as Wonder Woman. What can I say? She looks good! Shine on.

15. Diddy Does Amor: Sean "Diddy" Combs took it way back, as old school as you can get, posing as a pimped-out Roman soldier. I wonder what kind of liquor is in his classically-inspired pimp cup. He sure looks like he was feeling it! He is a hip hop king, so it was fitting for Combs to dress as an emperor.

14. Rick Fox rocking Zorro: NBA player Rick Fox looked very foxy as Zorro. Not every man can pull off a satin cape and still look masculine.

13. Tommy Davidson as '70s Guy:Comedian Tommy Davidson put on his best "black power" pose for a Halloween jaunt in 2005. We are loving the Angela Davis fro, but he loses points for bringing a friend with no costume. That hair is not quite big enough for her to hide behind.

12. John Legend and friend as laid back pirates: Musician John Legend and a friend attended a Roberto Cavalli Halloween event in 2007 in his-and-hers matching pirate looks. They both look suave and swash-buckling, without trying to hard. Kudos!
