If you're in a pinch for a Halloween costume, both for time and for money, and want to be able to recite a really great line throughout your spooky evening, consider being a Working Girl.

Enter into the world of Alexander McQueen where dark fantasies meld with high fashion. Skeletons, skulls, houndstooth, spiderwebs, and paranormal activity are all aspects of being a McQueen muse. Don't be mistaken for a clown when donning such out-of-this-world wear.

If I didn't already plan my Halloween costume this year – I'm going to be a mermaid — I would totally be a cancan girl. But hey, there's always next year, right? In case you didn't know, cancan dancers first derived from Paris in the mid 1800s.
