The Deal Or No Deal girls.

NBC

Making your own Halloween get-up can score you some serious creative kudos, and it can be fun. We asked readers of the On The Edge blog (blogs.timesunion.com/kristi) for creative, unique and, of course, fabulous (not to mention easy, since we’re nearly out of time here, folks) costume ideas.

Here are their suggestions:

DEAL OR NO DEAL GIRL

Slinky dress. High heels. Case with a number on the outside and $1 million inside.

Singer Amy Winehouse

Tattoos, beehive, crazy mascara, wife beater, skinny jeans and dirty ballet slippers.

Old news

Wrap yourself with some old papers and be “Old News.” Or maybe you can go around as a MySpace page. Put on corny stickers, quotes, photos.

Coco Chanel

If you want to be something fashionable, but not show a lot of skin, wear a black dress, lots of pearls, a cloche hat and carry one of those cigarette holders.

Donald Trump’s wife

Wear a black dress or suitable evening gown, a ton of faux diamond jewelry, a wig and great shoes. Get a baby stroller and paint it with gold paint. Toss a baby doll in the carriage, and paste a baby comb-over on its head.

Killer bee

Mix military camouflage with bee wings and antennas.

A bottle of wine

Pair a pretty purple, maroon or pale yellow/gold dress with cork earrings and print the wine label on fabric and wear it as a belt.

A nerd

Wear a plaid school girl mini-skirt with a T-shirt that says “I Love Math” ( http://www.cafepress.com has tons of nerdy shirts), knee socks with sneakers, a side-ponytail, fake braces and glasses and a fanny pack (one with the logo of a local doctor’s office — not from Gucci).

52 Pick-Up

Wear all black and glue cards all over yourself. Act flirty.

Lost airline luggage

Take a cheap vinyl garment bag and punch holes out for your arms and legs. Attach some stickers to the bag — preferably some real airline stickers with destinations, etc. Add a sticker that says “Unclaimed.”

Deviled Egg

Wear all white. Paint or attach a yellow circle to your stomach. Wear devil horns and carry a pitchfork.

Basket of

dirty laundry

Buy the cheapest, lightest laundry basket you can find. Cut a circle out of the bottom, just big enough for your body to fit through. Cut two piece of clothes line to tie onto the laundry basket to act as suspenders, make them just long enough so the top of the basket hits just about your waist. Hang “dirty” clothes on the basket and yourself, using clothespins and/or safety pins to hold them in place.

Static cling

Spray your hair up and all over the place. Put on a black sweat suit and tape (or pin) mismatched socks to your outfit. Or leave the hair alone and still tape up all the mismatched socks and be “the place in the dryer that takes all your socks.”

Stop light

Get some cardboard and three colored circles. You can even use the red, yellow and green lights to inform people as to whether they should come talk to you or not.

THE LEG LAMP FROM

A CHRISTMAS STORY

Wear black high heels, fishnets and a skirt made to look like the lamp shade with black fringe around the edges. If you’re going with someone else, have him or her go as Ralphie (a character in the story) and wear pajamas, carry a BB gun and wear a pair of glasses with one eye shot out.
