This might sound frivolous and silly, but I'm stumped for a Halloween costume.
And I need your help!
You might find this childish and silly, but Halloween in these parts is kind of a big deal.
So, here are my costume choices. Please guide me, give me your expert opinions.
Which one wins?
Jem, from Jem and The Holograms (this involves three other girls, a pink wig and metallic leggings)
Bayonetta (bad ass, but high maintenance)
Princess Leia (either traditional or slave, but slave is bordering on slutty, and slutty Halloween costumes are about as original here in LA as fake boobs)
Ed Hardy douchebag (easy to find Ed Hardy gear)
Ashoka Tano from Clone Wars (high maintenace, makeup, wig, etc. This is the least likely to happen on my list)
A CW style Vampire (meaning teeny bopper, not at all scary, probably wearing American Eagle)
A plastic surgery victim
...
That's it. That's all I've got. Help? I'm open to suggestions too.

Miri Jedeikin
Self-professed pop culture junkie and media glutton, Miri Jedeikin (AKA Jeds, Jedi, MJ, Mircat) has had a long-standing love affair with pretty much anything audio-visual. If there's a movie out in theatres, chances are Miri has already seen it! Miri's love of storytelling and communicating ideas developed early, and by the age of 17 she was published and syndicated in newspapers across the U.S. and Canada. After studying film, media theory and pop culture at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, Miri moved to Los Angeles where she could roller skate on the beach in January while also pursuing a career in brand management and PR. Once she realized that sitting at a desk all day pitching stories wasn't really her bag, Miri promptly switched gears and became heavily involved in user-generated online news content. Starting out as an avid participant of online news communities, she quickly evolved into curator, editor, producer and viral web host. She continuously (and some might say obsessively) scours the Internet for cool content and interesting factoids, and is passionate about viral videos and information sharing. Some people call this nerdy. Miri calls it the way of the future.
In addition to being a bit of a gadget geek, Miri is secretly an amateur car junkie as well. When she isn't ripping her metallic black GTI around LA (which she named Black Mamba after Uma Thurman's character in Kill Bill), she likes playing Forza Motorsport and Grand Theft Auto and is really looking forward to playing the next Codemasters racer on her 360! Though Miri certainly isn't the most skilled gamer on the block, she is passionate about the industry and its growing impact on media of all forms. Let the users have their way!
