Complete with hair bow and angular attire, Perez Hilton's Halloween costume was a dead-on impersonation of the infamous Lady Gaga. I bet their were a lot of other celebrity impersonators out there this year too.

The youth market demands more face time with celebs and because of this idolization many consumers have become more and more obsessed with them. Businesses can take advantage by helping their consumers to emulate theses celebs that promote their own products.
