i want to go as Bush in the aviator suit to a costume party.

I need a cheap plastic mask, the suit, a helmet to hold in my arm, and a sock.

Does anybody know where i can get a cheap mask, suit and helmet???

Thanks!

1. Try a surplus store
might have the suit, don't know about the other items. Also, a costume shop might have what you need.

2. Another great idea would be for all of you who are dressing up to
go as a Touch Screen Voting Machine and put some sort of label like "Safe, Private, Undetectable Vote Fixing - Step right up!" All you creative people can come up with something much better I'm sure, but this would really get the word out!

5. Maybe a toy store would have a cheap football helmet
you could alter for your purposes.

I'm not sure where you'd go, but there must be someplace near you that sells the sort of coverall mechanics wear - that might work for the suit.

As for the mask, I'd think any place with Halloween costumes might have one. If they don't have Bush* maybe you could use a chimp mask.

Great costume idea.

I used to have a Nixon mask. During Watergate, the shopping center where I worked had "Crazy Days", all the employees were suppose to wear costumes. I worked at the grocery store in the center and wore my Nixon mask along with jeans, denim shirt with a number on the left brest pocket and a ball and chain attached to my leg. Most people liked it, but I had a couple customers nearly come to blows over it. Some women told me I was an "American disgrace" to dress up like that and the guy in line behind her told her Nixon was the disgrace and they really go into it. I had one person ask me what right I thought I had to mock the president to which I responded "Ahhhh, the First Amendment?" To my boss's credit, he backed me and spent a good deal of time on the phone with irate people, explaining the Constitution. The next year when Crazy Days rolled around, the instructions forbad any overt political costumes.

Got a girlfriend who can go as Ann Coulter? She'd have to spend the entire party on her knees moving backward in front of you.
