What are the Times critics saying about Roberto Cavalli's line for H&M? Eric Wilson boils it down to one neat sentence: " leopard prints for women and pimp wear for men." In other words, it fits right in with true Cavalli style. I'll be curious to know what you guys think when the line hits stores on November 8th. [NY Times]

Trick or Treat: Choosing a Halloween Costume!

Halloween is the best holiday of the year. Not only is it two days after my birthday, but it's the only time that you can get away with wearing something that would probably get you arrested (or at least viciously teased) on the other 364 days of the year.

If you're still scrambling to pick your costume for All Hallows Eve, your Stylelist has got you covered!

For a truly scary costume, dress up as your favorite celebrity mess! The New York Daily News will show you how. An umbrella-wielding bald Britney? Check! A sloppy drunk Amy Winehouse? Definitely! A cell-phone throwing, community service serving Naomi Campbell? Yes, please! A jail-exiting walk of shame Paris Hilton? Absolutely!

Hoping to meet some hot ghouls and ghosts on Halloween? Try one of these classic gay costumes that are sure to get you some extra tricks and treats from your fellow creatures of the night:

Sailor (Yes, sir!)
Vampire (You're sure to find some necks to nibble on)
Police Officer (Frisk those wrong-doers!)
A Marine (or any military-themed costumed)
Roman Soldier (Have you seen 300?)
Greek God (or anything involving a toga)
Wrestler (singlet and all!)
Boy Scout (Some guys dig knee-high socks and short shorts)
Cowboy (Don't forget the rope to catch your stud)
Cupid (wear your cutest underwear and sandals)
Tarzan (anything with a loin cloth)
Adam & Steve (fig leaves!)
A pirate! (Harr, matey!)

There are a ton of terrible and truly tasteless costumes out there—and a number of them are more likely to get you beat up than earn you some tricks or treats. Here are some costumes to avoid:
"Sexy Anna Rexia", The Snake Charmer, the Abortion, the Sheep-loving Farmer, and so many more.

What's your best or worst costume? Post a comment and tell all!
