Aahhh, October. Depending on where you live, it means finally cooler temperatures, or in other climes it means colder temps. But no matter where you are, it means that its time to start thinking of arguably the most fun you will have with fashion all year – your Halloween costume.
Recently, online pollsters Zoomerang.com asked members what they thought would be the hottest costumes for October 31st, and the answers were as creative and funny as ever. And good news for you budget costume hunters – many are very affordable and can even be made with stuff you have around the house.
The number one answer was Paris Hilton in prison garb.
Should be fairly easy to find a costume for that, or just make one yourself by painting black stripes on a white shirt.
The next most-popular answer was one of the Transformers, and you are on your own with that one.
After the Transformers came the bald Britney.
Very easy, if you have a bald cap. If not, we are not condoning shaving your head for your Halloween costume.
Next on the list is Sanjaya, he who made our ears bleed for far too many weeks last Spring on "American Idol."
We are assuming that people are going to go for the ponytail hawk, but they could choose another one of his many mane looks.
During the madhouse and media circus surrounding the Paris Hilton drama, we here at Baghaus chose not to say much about her. Other than a slightly snarky post about how to wear stripes and orange jumpsuits (we made those posts in a helpful manner, of course!). We figured the big media outlets had her covered and our readers wouldn't mind a Paris-Free Zone.
We had no real timetable for her return to our blog, but now the little supposedly-reformed heiress has given us a reason to grace our pages once more. It has to do with fashion, natch and more specifically her new line of denim.

The 'surreal life' is finally getting good - Paris is going to jail
Earlier this week, we wrote on our blog if Paris Hilton wore Burberry, she would look smart. Of course, we also qualified that once she opened her mouth, all bets were off.
And wouldn't you know it, Paris went and proved us right by testifying on the stand that she had no idea her license was suspended, despite the fact that she signed a ticket January 15 from the California Highway Patrol saying that indeed, her license was suspended and she should not have been driving.
Paris played with the law, and the law won. So now, she faces 45 days in jail, just like most 'regular' people that violate their probation.
In honor of Paris' impending trip to the hoosegow (she has to report no later than June 5th), we have found a great primer on wearing stripes, from our good pals at Marie Claire.
Of course, this jail may be one where you wear those hideous orange jumpsuits. Fortunately, Baghaus has a GREAT bag that might match with your new wardrobe, in a much gentler shade of orange than the Bighouse hue:
Yes, this is a shamless plug. But who says a prison sentence can't be stylish and affordable?
Personally, we think that she should have gone to jail a long time ago, for crimes against humanity. See exhibit A here:
Exhibit B:
Yep, guilty!
