That’s right, go for the gold. Or, in Michael Phelp’s case, go for eight golds.

Here’s a little bio for Michael Phelps:
Born: June 30, 1985 (Baltimore, MD)
Hometown: Baltimore, MD
Residence: Ann Arbor, MI
Height: 6′4″
Weight: 195 lbs.
Olympics: 2000, 2004, 2008
Events: 200m free, 100m fly, 200m fly, 200m IM, 400m IM, 4×100m free relay, 4×200m free relay, 4×100m medley relay

Those are some pretty impressive wins for a guy that young. Aspire to be Michael Phelps for a day and get yourself a Michael Phelps costume! Here’s how you can put the costume together.

Make your own Michael Phelps Costume!
* Speedo USA Swim Caps
* Swimming goggles
* Speedo Fatskin LZR Razor Swimsuits (The Dolphin Suit)
* Men’s Speedos (The infamous Banana Hammock)
* Gold medals (You’ll need a butt load of them!)
* Hair gel (make your hair look wet)
* Spray on sunscreen (for some reason, I have a glowy tan with a little shine to it whenever I use spray on sunscreen. It looks great and makes you look like you’re tanned and toned - more toned, that is - and just went for a swim)

And if you want to be a bit more comical or metaphorical, you can just get yourself a mermaid costume since, after all, Michael Phelps is half man half fish!

Another idea is to dress up in Wheaties costumes since these athletes are always the faces on cereal boxes.
