For those who don’t mind being majorly hated by everyone else at the party: Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke at the VMAs. To incorporate extra group members, add a wrecking ball, a creepy teddy bear or Will Smith’s family reaction.

For children of the 90s: A rainbow of Treasure Troll dolls.

For children of the 80s: Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo and Raphael. Bonus points if you add in Splinter, Shredder or April O’Neal.

For those living in Washington, D.C.: Sexy government shutdown. I have no idea what this would look like, but I used to live in D.C. and this is exactly the kind of thing at least a dozen people will try to go as this year (seriously, I once saw someone go as “the birth pangs of democracy in the middle east” there). [Also credit for this idea goes to J.P. Freire]

For the Internet-obsessed: All the social media.

For those who wanna be cuddled all night long: Meerkats.

For those who always wanted to be a Rockford Peach: The gals of A League of Their Own.
