I've done the Dog Food thing! LOL! Another easy one is to be a bum/hobo. Too large men's pants, tied with a rope (amke them as short as possible to your white socks show). Old raggedy shirt covered with an old suit jacket (the worse shape the better). Long stick with a bandana tied to it - fill the bandana with anything to fill it out. Take a cork, burn the end. When it cools, use the "soot" on the cork to make dirt on your face. Any old shoes will work - tennis shoes/sneakers with holes are perfect!

Or try being a gypsy. Big, flowing skirt witha peasant top. Big bangle earrings & bracelets, sandals, a scarf in your hair and your done!
