- Does your husband have a nice black suit and vampire teeth? Can you simulate a cheerleading costume (pleated skirt, fitted sweater (you know that one you grew out of because your baby made you go from a B cup to a D cup). Wooden stake. Buffy The Vampire Slayer. A fedora and french baret (sp) can get you close to Bonnie & Clyde. Can you get some wigs and go as John & Yoko?

- He can wear a suit be Don Draper and you can be Betty or any of the other characters in Mad Men.

  - Much better. takes the pressure off both of you if you have less than perfect looks.

- doctor and a nurse. (Though it's hard to find a nurse that's not trashy.) I just bought a lab coat and white tights, and wore white shoes, white skirt, white shirt, and wore a Fisher Price stethoscope. I made a hat out of paper. DH wore a lab coat and a nametag and a stethoscope. I have other ideas, but this is the most basic one.

- I really like the don/betty draper but reversed roles idea (if you can coax dh into a dress or maybe nice slacks and blouse). I know of a couple who did DW as Kim Jong Il and DH as a rocket.
