NOLA Costume Ideas: Celebrities

We've now passed the halfway point with just 5.5 months until Halloween 2011 and our big Louisiana - themed party. While that still seems early to some, it inspires a bit of panic when I look at everything I hope to get done by then.

Continuing my series of "ROMP IN THE SWAMP" costume ideas for your inspiration, I present to you:

Delta Burke

I prefer her in the gaudy "Designing Women" era:





Ellen DeGeneres



Super bonus points if you bring Portia

Richard Simmons



Another celeb who makes parody almost too easy. I can loan you my bedazzler for your tiny shorts.
