Since Halloween and the presidential election are so close on the calendar, political costumes for 2008 are becoming the topic of discussion for Halloween.
“I can see the political humor in it all,” Kevin Millis, sophomore liberal arts major, said.
Since the presidential election is right around the corner, all kinds of Sarah Palin versions are in high demand.
Online holiday retailers, including eBay.com, are selling Palin accessories such as toy guns, rimless eyeglasses, plastic babies and brown-haired updo wigs, to complete the look.
The Palin mask has been one of the top sellers this year. And if you want to be John McCain or Barack Obama, you can find them in stores.
According to the National Retail Federation, the most popular items will be the usual Halloween costumes that represent Halloween, which are witches, pirates, vampires, cats, fairies, nurses, super heroes and, most of all, U.S. political figures.
“I went to a party last week, and everyone was wearing the Joker costume,” James Thorne, junior business major, said.
Many Halloween costumes are based on popular movie characters featured during the current year.
Batman and Robin also are said to be one of the most sought after costumes for 2008.
The Joker outfit from the “Dark Knight” Batman movie will be a huge hit.
For some people, especially among those at the University of La Verne, creativity and the spending of a little less money on their costumes seems to be the focus.
