The Virtual Record of My Opinionated Rantings

Since we've reached the age a good deal past trick-or-treating, and dressing in re-purposed lingerie is so last year, why not supoprt a cause this Halloween?

We all know about Trick-or-Treat for Unicef, but I'm talking about something that requires far less effort.

"How, Tori? How can I change people's lives through my costume?"

Well, here are a few friendly suggestions.

1. Dress up as a cartoon or nursery rhyme character (Little Red Riding Hood still allows for a short skirt) and carry a sign/wear a button/tell people about how ACORN is letting you vote for the first time! Note: For those of you more drawn towards horror, dressing as a zombie, ghost, or some other obviously dead thing works for this as well (though in that case it would be the first time voting since the '60s.).
2. Dress as an ACORN recruiter (this is an appealing idea since you can utilize your existing wardrobe) and walk around with a clipboard registering people to vote! Obviously you won't be registering the person inside the costume, but the character themselves.
3. A variation on #2: Wear all your Obama gear and start accepting donations from people's characters. Addresses such as 2345 Fak Addrss Lane are acceptable.
4. Dress up as some sort of large cat (this leaves 'sexy' options, ladies) and wear Hilary paraphernalia. You are now a PUMA (Party Unity My [bottom]). Talk about how Obama stole the primary and your new found love for Sarah Palin.

There you have it. Four suggestions for those of you who thought you'd spend Halloween as a drunk college student. Enjoy.
