Hallowe’en 2008

Hallowe’en was fun! I went as Sarah Palin, a costume which I was not expecting many people to cop on to, as all I did was put my hair in an up-do, wear lipstick and my glasses, and carry an American flag. But everyone did actually seem to get it, which was really great! The comments you get when dressed as Palin are hilarious, although my personal favourite was definitely, “no offence now, because you really look like her, so no offence like — but I really, really hate Sarah Palin!” Sob. I seemed to be the only Palin at the Freakscene Hallowe’en Ball, too, which was cool. I guess it would have been a very different story had I gone out in America, but over here, nobody seemed to be digging the Alaskan Governor as a possible costume choice. It was definitely a hit though, so I’m glad I went for it! Although, I was certainly no Obama campaigner! (Long story). 

Unfortunately, it does look as though this was the only year worth dressing up as Sarah Palin before she fades into obscurity once more. Although Obama’s lead is back within the margin of error once again, I am still doubtful of a Republican victory on Tuesday. Never say never, obviously, but still, it doesn’t look too good. 

Maybe next year I’ll drag along a doll and go as Bristol! She’s bound to still be somewhat famous by then, regardless of what happens this week, thanks to her recent Jamie Lynn Spears-style notriety! 

Anyway, this is probably my last post before the election, although I may blog on Tuesday night if the mood takes me. Until then, I’ll sit tight, keep an eye on the polls, and wait with baited breath until Wednesday, which will certainly be an interesting day no matter what the outcome..
