1 - Spam Man Costume!

Michael Jackson has had so many looks, regardless of who you are... you can pull it off! Grease your hair down with Gel, or heck, load it up and curl it out! He's done both... Take some white makeup and make your face completely white. Top it off with just a little red lipstick and put on all black clothing! Make sure you have 1 white glove to complete the look and you have it made!

3 - Rapper Costume
What can you say... get some baggy clothes, an oversize shirt, and grab the bling from all over your house! I did this myself 2-3 years ago...

Top it off with a ballcap turned to the side and you are out the door in 10 minutes!

Run over to your local best buy superstore or large hardware store like Lowes or Home Depot and grab one of the recently delivered washing machine or refrigerator boxes.
