Halloween is just around the corner, and in the past many of us have spent hours agonizing over what costume to wear. There’s so many options including a sexy cat, a scary witch, super heros, ghosts and a plethora of other odd, scary or cool things that you can try to pull off this Halloween. However, this year I encourage you to switch it up and express your nerdy side by dressing up in one of these fabulous political-esque costumes!
1. Ballot Box
Dress up as the most important, yet most ignored aspect of our democracy. For an added bonus put pictures of the candidates on your costume and have people cast their unoffcial votes. WARNING: This costume may cause you to bump into a lot of things, including but not limited to uncomfortable debates about whether Clinton or Trump is the right choice for president.
2. Swing States
This costume is perfect for anyone who has trouble making decisions. You see, these states can’t make up their minds either so if you can’t beat em’, join em’. Although you do have 11 to chose from so maybe this isn’t the best costume choice for an indecisive individual.
3. Ruth Bader Ginsburg
All you need is a black robe, chunky earrings, and huge glasses to become the funkiest, sassiest, HBIC, Supreme Court Justice that this country has ever seen.
And for you viewing pleasure, I have inserted a bonus photo; Ruth Baby Ginsburg!!!
4. Secret Service People
Bonus points if you can get a little baby president to escort around.
5. Go ahead and dress as the most controversial ammendment.
Wait… is that not what they meant?
6. Or you can just go straight for it and dress up as the actual constituion.
We the people, of the United States of America, better win this year’s costume contest.
7. Two words: Anderson. Cooper.
Everyone’s favorite, white-haired, debate moderator that has just gone through too much grief during this election season. Let him know how appreciated he is by putting on a white wig and a nice suit.
8. Young Hillary Clinton
Chances are, there will be a rainbow of pant suits and short blonde haircuts at every Halloween party, so instead, channel your inner HRC before the age of the pant suits and political speeches.
9. The founding mothers
This country was definitely not accomplished single-handedly by a bunch of men. Use Halloween as a chance to remind everyone all of the boss ladies that helped our country become what it is!
10. And last but not least, dress as the most coveted/undecided voters in America today…
Middle Class suburban mothers!!
Happy Halloween Collegiettes! Have fun this Halloween. And while you spend so much time picking out your favorite politcal getup, don’t forget to vote this November, because all the jokes and fun costumes in the world won’t get your voices heard, only voting can do that!
