Awesome Hallowlady Costumes: Day 1

We’ve had some trouble navigating the Halloween waters in the past. It’s tough. Should we be sexy? Should we be serious? Should we be sexious? In truth, there is no black or white answer. OK maybe there are a few black and white answers. But we’re counting on a baseline level of COOL costumes from our readers. And if you’re still uncertain, there is one sure-fire way to avoid a lame costume, and that’s dressing up as an AWESOME LADY! For serious or for sexy.

Oh LHJ, what, pray tell, do you ever mean? Well, first, stop talking like that. Second, we’re going to show you. From here until Halloween, we’ll be unveiling one awesome lady costume a day. 

To start off, we’ve got a no-brainer. Or should we say FULLOFBRAINERS: Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Try this awesome lady on for costume size.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

The Look: LadyJustice

Construction: 1. Judges robes 2. Fun earrings 3. Slicked-back pony for optimum sightlines 4. Lace accents

Behavior: No-nonsense + Been around all the blocks + Values

Choice Sayings for Authentic Party Interactions:
“Did I mention I’m 78 and working erry day?” 
“The government has no business making choices for women. So, yes, I will pour this punch for myself.”
“Ruling: This bar looks like the inside of Clarence Thomas’ butt. Let’s go dancing.”

UPDATE!!! This is what it should look like IRL. At a party. With your friends. 

Compliments of the always charming, Carla Kessler.
