.Michael Jackson.

With Michael Jackson's death he has become more popular than he was in the 80s so of course there will be lots of Michael's running around at Halloween this year. With his long career span and many looks, you can choose from a wide variety of looks for your Halloween costume. By heading to your local thrift store and some creative re-imagining, you can put any of these looks together. I figure I will offend both sides of the Michael Jackson debate by posting these costume ideas, but lets just remember, its Halloween. Its all in fun. =)
