3. Lady Gaga

When stepping out as The Lady, the more outrageous the better. Extra points if you head to the meat section and fashion a dress from your purchases, but this look is not only patriotic, it has a touch of Guns and Roses too. Dressing up as a hessier is fun. If Gaga or The Situation aren't your style, consider Bret Michaels.
