Tiger Woods and Elin Halloween Costumes
One of the more creative and funny costumes this Halloween is the Tiger Woods Costume. After the crazy sex scandal this has to make the Tiger costume one of the best and possibly easiest costume of the year. The idea is you want to create Tiger Woods right after crashing his car when Elin was chasing him (allegedly). This also makes a great group costume as you can have a female dress up as Elin with a bent golf club.
Tiger Woods' Halloween Costume
The Tiger costume can be created quite simply with some face paint and lipstick. You want the face-paint to have bruises and cuts to look like you were just in a car accident. To complete the outfit you can get the Tiger Woods visor which has black hair and a miniature plush golf club that looks like it's wrapped around his head. Another alternative is to actually buy a Tiger Woods mask which has multiple cuts, bruises and a golf ball sticking out of the ear.
Elin Nordegren Costume
To create Elin's costume you simply have to dress up as a sexy blonde female. You can choose a sexy golfer costume if you want but it's totally not necessary. The one thing that is necessary is to have a bent golf club as an accessory to the costume.

Top 10 – Marijuana Related Costumes
One of the best parts of the marijuana related costumes is the fact that they're so simple. You can put your mind to 'rest' and make the costume fairly simple.
Bob Marley
Very simple costume which only really needs a pair of shorts, a colorful jamaican shirt and Dredlocks or Rasta Tam.
Cheech Marin
Another fairly simple the Cheech Marin costume which really just needs the wig, moustache and cap. For clothing you'll want shirt, pants and suspenders.
Tommy Chong
The Tommy Chong costume really just requires a Wig, Beard, Moustache, Bandana and Glasses. Then for clothing an old cut-off shirt and pants will suffice!
Hippie Man / Hippie Woman
A classic costume that isn't always associated with pot but the costume is from the time of peace, love and drugs.... so it's a very related costume. Check out an example of the Hippie man costume and the hippie lady costume.
Pot Head
To create a pot-head costume you simply have to get a bunch of baggy clothes and have a self-rolled cigarette hanging out of your mouth. You can add the 'pot head wig' to your costume to really get the point across but it's totally not necessary, dude.
Dr. Herb Smokers
The herb smokers costume is one of the 'pre-packaged' costumes that you can purchase. The ladies costume is a very sexy short cut nurse outfit. The men's costume is a short sleeved lab coat. The whole point of the costume is that you have a badge that says Dr. Herb Smoker.
Pot Head - Literally
For this costume you can wear whatever you like but for a hat you wear a planter pot. You can do this by visiting your local gardening store and buying a plastic potting container. Then cut out the bottom to the size of your head. You can then draw a plant on the front or if you are really creative get soil and plant an actual plant in the pot.... a few details would need to be worked out so it doesn't spill dirt everywhere....
Tom Petty / Mary Jane
A fun twist on the hippie costume is to dress like Tom Petty and Mary Jane. For Tom Petty, dress like a hippie with long blonde hair and a guitar. Mary Jane costume should also dress like a hippie and however you think "Tom Petty" would fancy Mary Jane.
Half Baked Potato
The half-baked potato costume is suppose to be a funny costume playing on the stoned and couch potato / munchies feeling. A costume that stoners would appreciate.
Ok. So that was only 9 but I got lazy and can't really count that high anyway. If you're looking for 10 then maybe consider Ziggy Marley or Peter Tosh.
Tips and Tricks for Work Appropriate Halloween Costumes
When choosing a work appropriate Halloween costume you have to take a few things into consideration: the topic, the dress code and comfort.
Topic
First you want to ensure that you have a topic that would be considered acceptable at your workplace. Although many costumes are considered funny to you and your friends they may not be considered funny to your co-workers and boss. Typical costumes which might not be suitable based on topic are anything religious, ethnic, rude or making fun of other co-workers. DONT: Dress as Jesus. DO: Dress as Elvis.
Dress Code
The next thing to consider is the dress code at work this one is more suited towards the ladies. You want to ensure that although you're dressed up for Halloween you're not dressed too risque or showing too much skin. There is a fine line between choosing an appropriate and un-appropriate costume. If you choose a skirt or shorter dress be sure that it's no shorter than you normally would wear. If shopping at BuyCostumes.com, for example, it's best to stay away from the sexy costumes section.
Comfort
The final thing to consider is that you have to spend the entire day (8+ hours) in that costume. Make sure that you take into consideration sitting and/or standing for long periods of time depending on your job. Something super tight fitting might look good but is probably not the best choice for the entire shift at work.
Here are a few ideas that would be considered NOT work appropriate costumes: Borat, Adam and Eve and The Shocker.
Here are a few ideas that would be considered work appropriate: Orange Tuxedo (from the dumb and dumber movie), Alice in Wonderland, a Pirate or Bumblebee.
Hopefully these tips and tricks help you to choose a costume that won't have everyone looking at your costume in the wrong light. You want to show your Halloween fun but not at the expense of your job!
