Wonderland or Not

Don’t follow poli­tics much? You miss Hilary because you loved when they star­ted to cri­ti­cize her clothing, the thing you do best. You follow Palin because you enjoy loo­king at her out­fits? You don’t vote because you really don’t know anything about it, and don’t care as long as you can buy your pur­ses, shoes, and the cri­sis doesn’t inte­rrupt the deli­very of your Vogue magazine?

I have a deal for you.

Become a revo­lu­tio­nary, check out the can­di­da­tes at their res­pec­tive sites and see what they have to say.

Then, think outside the box. Regis­ter to Vote. Now.

Mark the day in your Black­Berry, com­pu­ter, cell phone, iPhone, Kate Spade Day Plan­ner or the sticky notes you keep on your refrigerator.

Shop for a new out­fit. Treat your­self to a really expen­sive pair of this sea­sons shoes.

These.

Not these.

No, not for this occa­sion. This occa­sion calls for a little suf­fe­ring, a sac­ri­fice. Your feet will for­give you.

Truss your­self up. Make it color­ful, acces­so­rize. If you never dress up take this oppor­tu­nity to do so. Dres­sing up is thea­ter, and this is the per­fect time to join the thea­ter of this past year.

Shady Glade, Blue Iris, and Royal Lilac are totally in, and if you don’t know who you are voting for that is the color path you should follow.

Burnt Orange and Withe­red Rose are two “this sea­son colors” for McCain Voters.

The Color Pur­ple, seen hea­vily as the base color this fall, is the no brai­ner color for Obama sup­por­ters. If pur­ple is not your color you can either acces­so­rize with it ins­tead, or cover a lovely pur­ple shirt with a green jac­ket. Green being the other must have color base for the season.

Make an occa­sion out of it. Those voting pla­ces are rather drab, and peo­ple dress and groom appa­llingly when they vote, some­ti­mes even for­get­ting to brush their teeth. You could easily start a new trend among voters. Voting Chic it will be called. Ever­yone will want to do it. You may even make the cover of “Voting Day Magazine”.

Men, check out GQ, they are full of fashion advice for men, adding a pur­ple or withe­red rose shirt or swea­ter with decent no pleat front pant and navy bla­zer will work. No green jac­kets for you, this is not St Patrick’s day and green doesn’t work any other time for men. Check out the Sean John gallery I swear saw some pur­ple shirts in the 5th ave­nue store online, they’d work with the his tai­lo­red suits or the jeans.

If you’re not into fashion head to the polls a few hours early in your gas guzz­ling ford F-50, pack the grill, throw on a cou­ple of 5 pound T-Bones ( ok times are rough hot dogs and spe­cial sauce), drag out the Corona, and plop down in your par­ti­san bag chair for a cou­ple hours with your best buds.

Psyche your­self up for the big vote. After a few beers, a good steak, or crispy hot dog you can stroll on in, give each other a few hearty fist pumps, and cast your vote. Might as well make party out of it.

Just call me cheerleader.
