by Marcos Mora
These three costumes are easy to create and budget friendly, and they’re guaranteed to get your friends talking. Tusk tip: Don’t appropriate social justice movements or cultural groups you don’t belong to.

Neymar
This footballer didn’t mean to start an internet challenge during the World Cup, but now he’s a meme
- Find a yellow t-shirt. Preferably a Brazil soccer jersey, but anything will work.
- If you are using a yellow t-shirt, grab a green paint pen at Michael’s and write NEYMAR and 10 on the back.
- Wear blue shorts.
- Grab a pair of white socks and pull them up to your knees.
- Soccer cleats will complete your look.
- Drop to the floor and cry like a baby!

Colin Kaepernick
After kneeling during the Star Spangled Banner, the 49ers quarterback launched a political movement
- Get your hands on red jersey with gold bottoms. Ask a friend who played in high school. A thrifted red t-shirt and shoulder pads could also work.
- If you’re 2018 Kaep you need an afro. Bonus points if you have one already. You can find a wig at any costume store.
- Grab a white paint pen and write KAEPERNICK and 7 in all caps on the top of the jersey. You can get paint pens at Michael’s.
- Kneel anywhere you go. Better yet: Bring some Nike kicks to promote.

There’s nothing more contemporary than dressing up like a rapper with a track record
- Braid your hair into as many braids as you can.
- Use temporary color to spray every braid with a different color. Or wear a rainbow wig.
- Use markers to draw tattoos on your face and your arms.
- Put on bright colored/neon clothes and a pair of sneakers.
- Cover your teeth with Chiclets gum.
- Snap a selfie with the first Nikki Minaj you spot at the party.
