Just In Time for Halloween

With October 31st just around the corner, here are some quick tips on how you can nail your Sarah Palin costume, courtesy of the hardhitting journalists at People (actually, I stand corrected, this story actually started in the NYT):

• Apply some ear glue (don't want those suckers to stick out)
• Fashion your hair into "French twist with a '60s bouffant kind of thing, and bangs. … It's darker at the nape of the neck, and shows transitions to a lot of different colors." (Ed. how does she have time to attend press events with all this prepping?)
• Darken your color to a deep mahogany, right from the roots
• Make sure the bangs are the female equivalent of the "high and tight," trim and clean cut
  
• Pump up the lips, but make sure it looks natural!
• Throw on a sassy skirt suit, preferably in a popping color (Republican red, perhaps?
• Gun and baby doll are both optional, as is a pair of binoculars, for seeing Russia of course

Important follow up:
CNN is reporting that there is a 2-month wait for rimless specs a la Lady Palin. The Japanese manufacturer apparently can't keep up with the demand. Perhaps the selection of Palin is part of a master plan by the McCain camp to illuminate that the US > Japan. Good foreign policy indeed.
