my family dressed as the Simpsons ... we took 3rd place in a costume contest.  Great!  You'll need to "stuff" the wig with paper/plastic bags or stuffing to make it stand straight up but I honestly believe thats why we won.  Note no shoes or beeds come with the costume, but i got a pair of $10 red flats and strung together some wooden beeds and painted them red and it completed the look.
