Politics have longed played a role in our Halloween costumes, but things always get extra interesting during an election year. Obama and McCain masks are no doubt selling hotly, and CreepyLA even told you how to assemble your Sarah Palin get-up. But why stop there?
Zombie Pumpkins offers you a handful of political patterns for this year’s jack-o-lanterns. What better way to judge the political mood of your neighborhood than putting Obama and McCain o-lanterns on your stoop and seeing which one gets smashed?
Alas, they don’t have a Palin stencil. And the stencils aren’t free. That said, you have the option of chosing the “sampler” membership. It allows you to download 2 patterns for $2, which is probably all the average person needs.

This Halloween, West Hollywood may be crawling with an army of Sarah Palin look-alikes in upswept hair, $375 designer frames and stilettos– and 5 o’clock shadows.
Although it may come as no surprise, even in Washington DC people like right wing pundit Bay Buchanan are planning on dressing up as the moose-eating Alaskan governor this October 31st. Last night on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, Buchanan gave her costume a tryout run. At one point, Cooper offered to help pin her hair up, but she demurred.
And if she needs any tips, we’ve got it covered.

The author as Sarah Palin with friends.
Whether you love Sarah Palin or love to hate her, one thing is certain: she is definitely adding some much needed glamour to the Republican Party! Those glossy lips, that frosted, tousled hair- mark my words, “The Sarah Palin” is going to be the quintessential costume for Halloween ’08. It’s cheap, it’s fun, sure to turn some heads and get people talking… or arguing.
For a recent appearance as Governor Palin, I gathered all the necessities for under $100. Here’s how you can, too:
The Perfect Palin ‘Do: Unless you already have that perfect Palin high-lighted honey-brown hair, you’ll need a wig. I found one at Hollywood Wigs for $35. Make sure it’s acrylic, no need to spend extra dough on real human hair. Find one that’s light brown, preferably with bangs. Most will have extra-long bangs already, but if not, ask the friendly salesperson to cut them for you. Trim just past your eyebrows, almost into your eyes. Use a banana clip or a ponytail holder and bobby pins for that signature Palin updo. Twist the hair up into the banana clip, or ponytail it and pin the “wisps” up and around the ponytail.
Sexy Librarian Glasses: According to ABC News, Palin’s rectangular glasses are flying off the shelves. But no need to throw down $375 for the titanium pair that Palin sports, any drugstore like CVS or Rite-Aid (where I found mine) will have a large array of reading glasses. I found a pair of rectangular red-framed glasses that worked just fine. Make sure you don’t get the high-powered magnifying glasses, or you’ll have a headache by the end of the night. If all they have is magnifiers, make sure you punch out the plastic lenses, especially if you are driving. Cost: $20
