When considereing Halloween dresses for 2009 you might think of the yea 2007 too. But right now 2007 halloween costumes might seem passe to you , but it’s best to remember that what all things that once were in fashion, can now be again used in a different sense! Paving the way forward is the idea of using 2007 halloween costumes in the year 2009 too!
The big thing to remember is that 2007 was a great year for politics, so it’s worth looking through some of that year’s biggest stories to find a costume that makes sense for you. There is, of course, the president and vice president of the time. George W. Bush was winding down his presidency in 2007, and that’s a great place to start. A Bush mask is in itself a perfectly good costume, and in the context of 2009 it has almost a totally different meaning than it had in 2007. Cheap and affordable, the costume would completely fit the theme too! In 2007, Bush was on his way out, a hated (his approval rating was just 23% at the time) relic of an ugly age that was mercifully coming to an end. In 2009 he remains a relic of that age, but is almost viewed as a tragic figure who was manipulated by those stronger and more clever than he. Throw a dunce hat on, then, and you’ve got your 2009 version of the best George W. Bush 2007 halloween costumes.

Those who were stronger and cleverer than Bush, and probably manipulated him throughout his two-term presidency , start with Dick Cheney, Bush’s vice president. Cheney kept a relatively low profile near the end of Bush’s second term, but this isn’t 2007 anymore. Since Barack Obama took office, Cheney has been a relentless critic of the new president, making speeches, giving interviews and even writing a book in which he details he criticisms of Obama, but reveals the fractures between himself and Bush during their final years in office. So in a way even though Cheney fits the model of 2007 halloween costumes, he makes an even better 2009 halloween costume. He makes sense on both levels.
And of course going as Barack Obama himself makes sense as one of the better 2007 halloween costumes in a 2009 world. Obama was a public, national figure starting in 2004 when he made a famous address to the Democratic Nomination Conference that received plaudits throughout the country. But he became a household name only in 2007 when he began his run for the presidency – a run that was originally dismissed as the consummate darkhorse, but a run that eventually landed him in the white house.Keeping these ideas in mind it should not be a tough task now to put together a different, appealing as well as an affordable halloween costume which reminds us of the year 2007!
