RBG Glow Up - Ways to Stand Out At Halloween Dressed As Ruth Bader Ginsburg

(Another reject I am passing on to you)

So you want to be Ruth Bader Ginsburg this Halloween?  Of course you do!  It's topical, it's an homage, and that black robe hides any emotional eating you've done recently.  Here's what you'll need:

Standard RBG: Hair in bun, glasses, black robe, lace jabot.  

But you don't want to be lost in a sea of would-be Ruths, do you?  Of course not!  Here are some fun ways to honor the late great Justice and elevate your costume to a new level.

Horrified Ghost of Ruth Bader Ginsburg:  Add makeup to look pale, ethereal, carry today's newspaper.

McRuth the Crime Fighting Ginsdog:  Add floppy ears, trench coat and trade gavel for magnifying glass.

Sojourner Truth Bader Ginsburg:  Don't do this. It sounds clever, but there is no way this can end well.

Ruth Bather Ginsburg:  Add shower cap, rubber duckie, loofah. Bubbles?

Sexy Justice Ginsburg: Don't change a thing.  If we learned anything from Ruth Bader Ginsburg, it's that there's nothing hotter than a woman with resilience, brains, and power.
