What will be the hot Halloween costume for 2009? Octomom? Balloon Boy? The Snuggie? Michael Jackson? Kate Gosselin and that god-awful possum haircut? Michael Jackson in a Suggie? In any case, there's no more colorful street party than 2009 West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval. It's packed with towering drag queens, every slasher movie character and — please oh please oh please — Kathy Griffin lookalikes.
