Hee hee hee! Hello everyone, it's me Arifa!! I am super excited for this spine chilling, special edition article brought to you by The Paparazzi Crew!

I was thinking "Hmm, there's only one day till Halloween! I need to give the citizens of VP some short and snappy outfit ideas!". This called for the mighty Google Images to help find some horrific outfits that are most likely to be within our budget and within the shelves and cupboards of our homes.

Without further ado, let me present to you... the well priced, and most-likely-to-find-in-the-kitchen, Halloween outfits!
This outfit is super cute oh my gosh! Rummage through the cutlery cupboard and grab some plastic knives and forks. i want you guys to be as safe as a cute lil bunny when there are no foxes around so ask a grown up helper to snip the sharp pointy parts of the knives and forks off please and then make sure the ends are nice and smooth by either sanding it or adding blu tack on the ends to prevent anybody from getting hurt. also, i said plastic for a reason. metal is a no no. chucking on a shirt does not ruin your appearance at all. in fact, it makes it more mysterious as you seem to be the regular spectator on the night of Halloween, but when you get those babies out (your ultra glam hands) they'll be running so fast to their mama that even Usain Bolt would find hard catching up with them!!

Ye boi!! I genuinely thought this outfit was off the hook.i think guys will look ultra hip with this mad outfit. nothing screams 'scary' than Lil Wayne's tattoo parade and his pengalicious bling bling. just buy some hair extensions from the market, one of those NYC hats, arm bands you can get from special events, cool shades, faux Converses and some leopard print leggings. i thought this little kid was working the $wagalicious gold and red theme but you can go wild and dress up like a rainbow. purchase some body paint or squid ink and paint those trademark tattoos of Lil Wayne. to get the best results please try jamming out to his songs and rap a long with him whilst painting on the tattoos. it will make a real difference since you were in the zone.

p.s if you're wearing braces you'll look better #traintracks4life
This outfit was specifically handpicked by me to emphasise that Halloween is all about humour and horrifying objects standing before you. this outfit will guarantee you many oohs and aahs as well as frightfully delightful screams and startled faces. buy a pink elastic-y onesie thing or create it buy buying pink gloves, a basic long sleeved pink top, pink tights and a pink pull on hijab or hat. grab some polystyrene balls or tennis balls covered in plain kitchen roll and draw a black circle in the middle of each ball. now you could draw on a moth with ugly teeth,or just make one on card and stick it with glue onto your pink outfit. if you don't have glue use honey. it is a great adhesive as well as an alternative to glue. there! all done! you have created a cool monster. now just stand in front of people's door in the position demonstrated above and when asking for treats, put on your BEST Patrick from Spongebob voice! Trust me, you'll be so scary that you'd be called in for rehearsals for The Conjuring 2.
Ok first of all... how freaky is this?! All you've got to is grab an old casual looking polo shirt (#stripesVSpolkadots) and one of those fake baby dolls which you can get from Asda or Tesco in the toys section. place the polo shirt on a flat surface (we're talking tables and wooden flooring, not on the slopes of mount Everest) and using a pencil make marks to how where you want to place each part of the baby's body. then cut the fake babies arms and legs and head off. get a grown up helper to cut it for you please because otherwise you might end up chopping your arms and legs off. the body can go in the bin or you could give it during your neighbour's next baby shower as a gift, yes that's sweet. grab some glue, (and remember honey works just as fine) and stick all the limbs and the head in an appropriate way. by that i mean so that it looks like the baby is stuck in your body like the man has done in the picture. ta dah! you're all done. now just wear the shirt and freak out your friends!! oooh i forgot to mention you can bedazzle your baby and customise it however you want. its plastic so it's fantastic!! sellotape some sequins, glue on some #phabulous ribbons and stick gems on the plastic baby!! I'd say two red coloured ones on it's eyes would be #phabulously freaky!! and what the heck paint it white, add some fangs, and give it some uber thick eyebrows to make it seem as though baby Edward Cullen is coming out of your belly! 

I hope I inspired all you lastminute.com-ers!! And remember 2 stay safe and not get grounded because if you're not safe and you do get grounded I will get someone to hold a sign above your head saying "#partypooper" :P

-This article was a bit of banter. If you didn't realise beforehand please wrIte gullible on your forehead. :P

Picture perfect pumpkin! 

Materials:

•A pumpkin with one relatively flat side

•Your favourite seasonal photo

•Tracing paper

•Tape

•A printer

•A knife or pumpkin-carving tools

•A flat frame

•2 Nails

•A hammer

•A flameless candle (safety first!)

 

STEP 1: PICTURE PERFECT

Dig through your mum’s albums for a Halloween photo of yore.

STEP 2: ENTER THE PRINTER

Tape your tracing paper to a piece of printer paper to make it sturdy enough to run through the printer.

Print the picture, then set it aside to dry.

STEP 3: GET GRUESOME

Slice off the top of your gourd and pull out its guts. Don’t forget to make a notch in the lid so it goes back on easy-peasy in the dark.

STEP 4: YOU CUT A HOLE IN THE … PUMPKIN

Grab a buddy to hold the frame in place on the pumpkin’s relatively flat side. Use your carving tools to mark your cutting lines; you’ll want the hole in the pumpkin to be just a bit larger than the frame’s photo opening.

Complete the carving and pop out the excess pumpkin

STEP 5: GET ATTACHED

Trim the photo, tape it to the frame, and then nail the frame into place. We recommend a nice scroll-y frame so you don’t have to nail through the wood.

STEP 6: LIGHT IT UP

Wait until dark. Insert a flamelesscandle and gasp with delight.
