There is one gift that Governor Sarah Palin has bequeathed every American this year, no matter what their political beliefs— and that is The Best Halloween Ever!
You're probably already twitching in your Tanning Bed— but to give you an extra incentive, I'm throwing a Screamin' Sarah Palin Halloween Costume Contest.
I adore political caricatures. My own iconic moment was in the 80s when my entire dorm dressed up as The Reagan Family. I was the braless, pot-smoking Patti who couldn't stop falling out of my blouse.
What do you win if you make me scream?
1. an admiring phone call/letter from me,
2. a special story on this blog,
3. an autographed copy of my brand new book, The Erotic Treasury—which in its brocade, die-cut, slipcover, is truly something to gasp over.
4. Oh, alright, Penny Flame's new DVD on how to give a virtuoso hand job to anyone, which I must say is HIGHLY informative.
How do you enter the contest, and PROVE you're the most grotesque, gothic, hellish, delectable Sarah Palin ever?
Your "Sarah" costume can be part of a group effort, or solo. Just be an integral part of the project.
Give me your name, the photographer's name (if that's different), and how you'd like to be credited. Send me your phone number and or snail mail so I can thank you and send you your PRIZES!
How do you get started?
You don't have to only dress up as Sarah— I will accept manifestations of any of her FAMILY CLAN.
(Don't forget all the relatives and ex's the Mr. and Mrs. have a restraining orders against!)
No need to be shy; everyone looks good in Palin's Up-Do.
No requirement to be elaborate— sincerity is what counts!
Here's a site that shows Sarah's signature look on a baby, a cat, and... Obama! What's not to love?
Sarah Barracuda inspires many props: A suitably freaked-out baby doll, for example.
Fur pelts, guns, beehive wigs, Oxycontin pills, flag pins, hockey sticks.
According to Jessica Chisum, the most helpful Palin Costume expert I've found on the web, the difference between a pit bull and a Pentacostol Nutcase Running for Vice President is Wet 'n'Wild's Glossy Mauve Lipstick.
She also suggests finding a stuffed polar bear and dragging it around by a noose.
Read Jessica's eyeliner instructions and you're ready to fool Katie Couric.
If you have the figure to pull it off— and you boys know who you are— the Photoshopped Sarah Palin in an American Flag Bikini with Rifle is a classic look.
The Palin Homages have started early year, with several Leather Sarah's spotted at the Folsum Street Fair last month and a whole drag queen night devoted to her in New York City.
There's a wig store online with a special boutique devoted to Palin wigs in all her incarnations!
What does it take to impress the judge? I'm looking for imagination and guts, not slavish imitation. Take me to the brink! High concept! Low Class!
Make me see Russia!
