There's new Sarah Palin news: aparently, Jane Six Pack is a little less like every other American than originally thought. That's because she's cost the RNC $150,000 since joining the Republican ticket on clothing and grooming. Now granted, the girl looks good. More so, stylists are saying that since her carefully crafted image of "qualified and professional yet relatable" is integral to her campaign platform, it's been money wisely (and appropriately) spent. But let's get to the really important question: at a couple thousand dollars a Valentino suit, and several hundred dollars for blush, how does the average New York woman dress up as Sarah Palin on Halloween?

Lucky for you, I've brainstormed some alternatives.

1. Outdoorsy Sarah Palin (also known as Eskimo Barbie)

This is the Sarah Palin as governor of Alaska. It's perfect for Halloween because the fleece will keep you warm. Just don't think that because you're wearing a pullover you can skip the fancy up do (please reference "What's the Difference Between Sarah Palin and a Hockey Mom? 82 Bobby Pins" for an in-depth look at her coiffure). Same goes for the blush. If nobody gets that you're Sarah Palin without the skirt suit, just say, "Ski Barbie", or pretend that you're actually just visiting from the Midwest.

2. We're Not in Alaska Anymore

This is basically the same costume as "Outdoorsy Sarah Palin" except you carry a rifle. Or, wear binoculars around your neck and ask people which direction they think Russia is. Check with your binoculars, shake your head, and walk away.

3. Sarah Palin Wants World Peace

Recycle that bridesmaid's dress! All you have to do is pair it with a banner that says "Miss Alaska" and some glasses, tease your hair, and pile on that blush. For extra fun, carry cards with traditional beauty pageant interview questions on them. When you get someone to ask you one at a party, talk about something completely unrelated and then wink.

4. Putting Lipstick on a Pig

Only attempt if your friends are very liberal and have been watching all of the election coverage. Dress as Sarah Palin in a conservative skirt suit, do her hair and makeup, and put on screaming red lipstick--preferably outside of your natural lipline so it's very noticeable. Then, wear a plastic pig nose.

5. Sarah Palin

Okay, this one's pretty straightforward. Wear a Valentino suit and hire Palin's stylist for hair and makeup.

... and then tuck toilet paper into your skirt and let it flow behind you. Hahahahahaha! BURN.

Tips: Skip that last step if you're a Republican. And use your own suit and Cover Girl makeup if you're a Democrat. Why? Because normal people can't afford that crap.

Happy costuming, and don't forget to vote!

As time goes by, my mission in life becomes clearer every day: I know that I am to devote myself to preserving the memory of Liberace for the generations to follow. There is no better way than to think globally and act locally, so I am planning to redecorate my apartment this spring. I feel that constantly being in the presence of such grandeur will inspire me in unimaginable ways.

The only problem is that space is very limited, and though it would be my dream to have the theme carry over into the entire apartment, I do have roommates and I don't want them to reject Liberace before they even get to know him. And so here is where I enlist you, Internets, to help me decide how to get the most bang for my buck with these timeless cardboard standups. Make sure to leave your vote in the comments!

Be a part of Cher's life like she's been a part of yours!

In recent news, Cher has announced that she has signed on to a 3-year, 200-show engagement at Caesar's Palace. "Cher at the Colosseum" debuts May 6 and will feature dancers and aerialists, as well as costumes by the legendary Bob Mackie.

Turn back time with this elegant Cher doll!

Now, no one was more devastated than I that Celine Dion was leaving Vegas, but we here at Overlooked have long had a tradition of singing "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)" at our Friday night karaoke sessions (you should see Phil's accompanying dance!). And you know, I think there is enough room in my heart for both divas - and just think of all the beautiful merchandise to be had! We thought that we had already acquired all the Cher memorabilia to be had (Dustin recently completed his collection with this AWESOME set of nesting dolls), but this new concert series is sure to produce a new plethora of wonderful delights!

And it turns out that Cher is just as excited as we are (well, maybe not as excited as Renee is)! "[The show has] technology that we've never seen before. It's like when you went to see 'The Phantom of the Opera' for the first time, and you saw the boat and the candelabra and all that. We can do that stuff."

Seriously, guys. Cher. And "The Phantom of the Opera". In the same paragraph. Remember to breathe.

I feel like these two costumes could be used interchangeably.

Size matters not.
