Halloween is less than a week away, which means if you haven't figured out your costume yet, you better or you'll be that guy everyone mocks at the bar (nothing says "party pooper" like not dressing up on Halloween). Don't feel like going as
Slutty Elmo or yesterday's version of yourself (total slacker move, BTW)? Have no fear, KSR is here to help!
Here are some do-it-yourself costume ideas that will let you show off your love for the Cats and your creativity:

Go the extra mile: Shave the UK logo in the back of your head
Coach Cal

- Pillow strapped around your tummy
- Lots of hair gel
