How to dress up like Jules Cobb from 'Cougar Town' for Halloween

The Costume: The sexy, smart and highly needy Jules Cobb of 'Cougar Town,' played by comedy veteran Courtney Cox.

What You'll Need: A wig of long, sleek, black hair, for starters -- something that will border your face ever so slightly.

Add to that a tight sweater and jeans, sun dress, or a sexy number that your college-aged son thinks shows too much cleavage for a woman your age.

The most important piece to the costume is a large glass of pinot noir. No, scratch that. Make it two glasses of pinot noir and, in a over-sized purse, several more bottles of red wine. Along with a list of your reasons why you think it's OK to drink so much wine.

Optional Accessories: A bag full of written-down neuroses that can be pulled out and used at each trick-or-treat location. If you have enough friends, they can tag along, glasses of wine in hand, while you simultaneously abuse them verbally and mother hen them to death.

And if your college-age son is actually embarrassed to be around you and your friends, bring him along to make the costume truly authentic.
