Ricky's, the beauty emporium that also stocks tons of Halloween Costumes, is offering Client #9 and Emperors Club VIP costumes, a salute to the Spitzergate scandal. The men's costume is $40 while the women's is $30. Of course, the budget way to go about costumes would be:
- For Eliot Spitzer, wear a suit and tie and scrunch your mouth into a line (bonus points for male pattern baldness and black socks). Maybe carry a toy steamroller and get really pissy about everything. Unsafe sex not included.
- For Ashley Dupre, wear a white bikini or something short and tight. Carry condoms, read excerpts about Ashley from the #1 Hooker's book.
- For Silda Wall Spitzer, wear a powder blue suit with pearls or wear a blue suit and tie scarf around your neck. Also needed: Blond wig and look of anguish.
