Halloween is here. Dealbook offers us some ideas for Wall Street-themed costumes. Anyone up for dressing up as MF Global? "Dress in tattered rags, tape "FOR SALE" signs to all your appendages, and wear a necklace that says "Credit Lines." Tap it repeatedly. Have two friends dressed as ratings agencies follow you around, telling everyone at the party how ugly you are." How about Kweku Adoboli? "Sneak into the party through the back door and shovel two billion pieces of candy corn from the host's candy bucket into your backpack. Replace them with two billion triangle-shaped pieces of orange construction paper." Or John Paulson? "Dress in gold. Punch yourself repeatedly all night." These are terrific ideas. Better than all those "cereal killer" get-ups. Apparently, the Occupy Wall Street movement is inspiring some folks. The Boston Herald notes that one couple dressed as protesters showed up to occupy their friends house, with a list of demands that include equal time on the karaoke machine. One Greenwich, Conn., resident is dressing her 7-year-old golden retriever in a business suit, red tie and tweed hat, calling the dog a 1 percenter. "My dad works for Morgan Stanley," she explained. You've undoubtedly got some good ideas as well. Surely, someone has good idea for dressing up as Bank of America. Please feel free to post.
