Halloween costume? .... boring...
... now that's more like it....
October 29, 2008
After having carefully combed a number of the costume stores around the city earlier this week looking for just the right get up, something dawned on me... How come there are no Hillary Clinton Halloween Costumes? Strange?
Yes, there were plenty of Sarah Palin ones. Like there was one with a star spangled bikini coupled with a cheap cardboard crown and a Miss Alaska banner that goes across the body. I think you are supposed to prop that costume with a cheap plastic flute, some 5 inch platforms, a bouquet of plastic flowers and not much else.
Sorry, no can do. Particularly in this weather. brrrrr....
There was also a Sarah Palin as "Naughty Nurse," complete with white fishnets and shown in the cover pack photo with some white, vinyl go-go boots (sadly not included in the actual costume pack). I
especially liked the Sarah Palin as Alaskan cecessationist anarchist, which included Michigan Militia camouflage hunting gear, a fake rifle and wireless smart girl glasses. Now, that particular costume was tempting... but still, not quite what I was looking for. Finally, I really appreciated the Sarah Palin as tawdry secretary. But I could have pulled that look together from my own closet rather than shell out $89.99 for it.
So why weren't there any Hillary Clinton costumes? I would so liked to have seen a periwinkle blue, double-breasted pantsuit and chunky Ferragamos neatly folded into a heavy plastic bag for sale. Or, what about a faux, military style Mao-collared tunic jacket paired with a full pant. Gosh, I loved when she worked that whole genre. I think that was during her "Ready on Day One" phase....
What is it about Senator Clinton that makes her such a dud for a kitschy Halloween costume? I guess, regardless of how you feel about her, she is hard to mock. I mean, competence and intelligence aren't particularly funny... are they?
