7 Ideas for a killer Halloween

What’s your Halloween personality? 

Are you devilish or angelic? Ghoulish or glamorous?

Normally, I show you how to be more authentic. But Halloween is different. For one night, you can unleash your secret streak of Innovation, or your superhero Power, or your dramatic flair for Passion.

Every costume uses at least one of the Advantages to fascinate. A few ideas:

POWER: Fight for justice and make yourself heard as Superman or Catwoman, or turn to the dark side as Darth Vader.

PASSION: Who says Passion is just for Valentines Day? Dress up as Cupid or a Greek god or goddess of love.

MYSTIQUE: Shroud yourself in mystery as Harry Potter or Sherlock Holmes. Anything with a fog machine will add a touch of Mystique.

PRESTIGE: Dress to win with your top-notch James Bond suit or Great Gatsby peacock feathers.

ALERT: Be stern and look out for trouble as Mary Poppins or continuously point out risks as a doctor or nurse.

TRUST: Go with the classics: a bedsheet ghost or fanged vampire.

INNOVATION: Um, Fifty Shades of Whatever.

I’m curious - How will you be dressed this Halloween?

Tell us which Advantage defines your all-time favorite costume!

Happiest Halloween!

    I am Innovation and I am going as the girl version of The Joker from The Dark Knight (The Hospital Scene). I'm not sure if that's contradictory or right on the mark for Innovation. Anyways, I'm going to have a blast either way! 🙂

    I'm Innovation & Prestige. This year, I'm going with Mermaid... it's going to be interesting, since I still have to MAKE the costume! (My 2nd choice was peacock too, Kristen!) so you never know - tomorrow may bring another peacock! Last year Wilma Flintstone made an appearance... http://on.fb.me/1RiVl5b

    Mystique + Passion .... I'm channeling that passion and representing as a die-hard NY Mets fan as I cheer them on in the World Series! (No mystique there, all love!)
