Need a last minute costume idea and in a New York state of mind? Here are a few NYC-themed ideas for your Halloween fête...
R.I.P.ped from the Headlines
• Thor Equities
Need: Winged Thor helmet and hammer, brochures or maps (which can be printed out) of Coney Island -- and something to destroy them with.
• The Staten Island Ninja Burglar
Need: Ninja outfit, complete with nunchucks. Fake stab wound to the chest. Map of Staten Island.
• Preppy Killer, Drug Dealer
Need: Preppy clothes, stubble and faux-coke around nose (we suggest baby powder or white-out).
• The Splasher
Need: Can of paint, clear rimmed glasses, printout of Splasher manifesto.
• President Clinton or President Giuliani
Need: Women's pant suit, or men's suit. Boom box playing campaign song. Plane ticket to D.C. and a bag of promises.
On-Screen Characters
• Carrie Bradshaw
Need: Carrie necklace, engagement ring and the craziest Patricia Field-esque outfit you can find.
• Edie Sedgwick, Factory Girl
Need: American Apparel suggests how to spend your costume cash in their store, and for just $48 you can be Edie. They also have an Andy Warhol option. Bonus: You can wear these pieces in your day-to-day.
Classic New York Movie Moments
• Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch
Need: Again, American Apparel has a dress for the occasion. Portable fan.
• Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's
Need: Classic black dress, coffee, croissant, large black sunglasses
New York Personalities
• Naked Cowboy
Need: white underwear, cowboy hat, guitar
• Reverend Billy
Need: blonde wig or blonde hair with hairspray, white suit, priest collar, megaphone
Other ideas: An Annie Hall moment, Inappropriate American Apparel billboard ad, a Sony Bravia bunny, a New York album cover. Got any more?

If I wasn't working, I'd do the Ninja Burglar thing. Just get a ninja costume and then carry a big bag with a dollar sign on it.
it might be too cold to dress as He-Man, but i think He-Man is dressing as He-Man
not sure it's a good idea to put white out around your nose! (see Preppie Killer costume)
How about the naked hipster? Easy costume.
Sexy Steven Hawking! (For the ladies.)
for (3?) years i've been trying to get a group together to go as The Gates... can't seem to pull it together :(
