&lt;strong&gt;Top 10 financial crisis-related Halloween costumes:&lt;/strong&gt; How to dress them up. And how to get into character at your All Hallows&amp;#8217; Eve soiree. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. Ex-Bear Stearns CEO Jimmy Cayne: &lt;/b&gt;Gray suit and glasses; carry a deck of cards, 6 iron and Montego Bay-sized spliff. Put your feet up on tables whenever you get a chance, and constantly ask if anyone wants to play a game of Bridge, or burn one down in the men&amp;#8217;s room. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. Mortgage-backed bond trader: &lt;/b&gt;Suit and tie, minus the pants. Continually ask others in costume if they&amp;#8217;ve seen your pants&amp;#8212;because you&amp;#8217;ve lost them. (This costume also works for hedge fund manager.) &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. Out-of-work bank robber: &lt;/b&gt;Long black overcoat and ski mask (or panty hose over the face). Carry a large firearm, an empty sack emblazoned with a dollar $ign as well as&amp;nbsp;a cardboard sign reading, &amp;#8220;PLEASE HELP. HOMELESS &amp;amp; BROKE.&amp;#8221; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. Federal Reserve Chairman Benny Bernanke: &lt;/b&gt;White beard, bald spot, blue or gray suit. Look confused as often as possible. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld: &lt;/b&gt;Nixon mask (unless you can find a Dick Fuld mask, which might be possible), sweat suit, Lehman tee shirt, black eye (painted onto the mask); carry a wad of hundreds in your fist, a few bills spilling out of your breast pocket. Ask others to buy you a drink whenever you feel like one and&amp;nbsp;if they refuse, say, &amp;#8220;You sure you can&amp;#8217;t help out a Brother down on his luck?&amp;#8221; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. Short seller: &lt;/b&gt;Carry a pile of dirty gym shorts and, throughout the night, offer them to the lowest bidder. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Naked short seller: &lt;/b&gt;Same as above but, that&amp;#8217;s right, go native. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Ex-Morgan Stanley Co-President Zoe Cruz:&lt;/b&gt; Earth-tone skirt suit, with a big knife sticking out the middle of your back (fake blood dripping down your calves is a nice additional touch). During the evening, drop this line in as much as you can:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;See, that&amp;#8217;s what happens when men are left to fend for themselves.&amp;#8221; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Generic finance job seeker:&lt;/b&gt; Any old suit will do. Carry a stack of resumes and pass them out all night (bring your actual resume to kill two birds). &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Uncle Sam D. Banker:&lt;/b&gt; American flag top hat, white wig, white goatee, Paul Smith suit, French-cuffed shirt, dollar-sign cufflinks and Hermes tie. Bring a garbage bag filled with Monopoly money and hand out bills to everyone in sight while saying, &amp;#8220;I own &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt;!&amp;#8221; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;http://blog.sellsiusrealestate.com/jobs/work-for-uncle-sam-usajobs/2006/10/27/&quot; height=&quot;129&quot; alt=&quot;http://blog.sellsiusrealestate.com/jobs/work-for-uncle-sam-usajobs/2006/10/27/&quot; src=&quot;http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:RXtlZ9w4Uz8J::blog.sellsiusrealestate.com/wp-content/uncle-sam.jpg&quot; width=&quot;94&quot; align=&quot;middle&quot; border=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
