2. Tan Mitt Romney

Remember when Mitt Romney went on Univision looking like a Werther’s original? His unnaturally orange hue, which came closely on the tails of his glib “it would be helpful to be Latino” joke,  led many to speculate that he’d donned brown face to appeal to Latinos. To achieve the Mitt as Oompa Loompa look all you need is a “President-y” looking suit (grey or black, and make it snazzy) and a salt & pepper coif that just won’t quit. Since creepy glimmering white veneers are probably not in your budget for Halloween, get a politicians smarmy smile with some whitening strips. Last, but not least: bronze yourself. Bronze till you just can’t bronze anymore. If you’re looking like a butterscotch candy, you’re on the right track. For an extra spark, carry around a Spanish-English dictionary or put on a sombrero if you want to double as Mexican Mitt.
