These day's "Jersey Shore's" Mike Sorrentino -- aka "The Situation" -- is everywhere. No longer just that dude who can't stop showing off his rock-hard abs (everywhere, for no reason), the Situation is gearing up for his appearance on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" (where we're sure his costumes will reveal acres of abs). The Situation'is crazy beach house antics and quotable one-liners have made him the undisputed leader of the "Jersey Shore" posse, and one of our favorite picks for your DIY celebrity costume. Here's how to get his look this Halloween.
Hair
Start with the hair --The Situation wears his a little longer on the top, fading shorter as it nears his neck. If you don't naturally have dark hair, you can use a shampoo-in hair color in medium brown to temporally give you the same dark hair as The Situation.
Makeup
The Situation coined the phrase GTL to describe what he does with his days: goes to the gym, goes tanning, and does laundry. To capture the look of The Situation this Halloween, you'll need to mimic his spray tan for that year-round glow that the "Jersey Shore" crew loves to have. You can go to the tanning salon or you can DIY it at home, but don't forget your stomach -- the abs are the most important part of this costume.
Wardrobe
The key to looking like The Situation is be able to do his trademark ab flash. If you haven't been spending everyday in the gym like he does, you can strap on an Adult Muscle Chest Plate to give you that buff physique. The Situation covers his ab muscles with a graphic t-shirt before heading out to the club to hit on the ladies. Throw on a pair of faded jeans and lace up some bright colored sneakers and you're ready to head to the club.
Accessories
There would be a situation if The Situation forgot his key accessories. He likes to rock a stainless steel ball link chain around his neck. You can also cover your eyes from the ladies with a pair of black sunglasses like The Situation does during the day.
Finally, any "Jersey Shore" fan will tell you that your costume wouldn't be complete without the remaining aspect of The Situation's GTL lifestyle. So grab a hand weight and a stuffed laundry bag to carry around with you and you'll be ready for any, er, situation.
