What to wear while voting

Attention ladies and gentlemen of the great Warhawk Nation. It’s that time where we replace our maroon and gold with red, white and blue.

Now is a time to represent another great nation we belong to: America.

That’s right citizens of ULM, Election Day is here.

With all of the paparazzi we have here on campus, you will want to make sure you are dressed to the nine for this occasion. After all, it only comes around every four years.

To walk up to the voting booth improperly dressed can be just as detrimental to one’s social life as walking up to the doors of the Mercedes-Benz fashion week in last season’s clothing. Embarrassing.

Members of all parties will be attending the event, so remember to dress appropriately.

Blue has been the choice of color for Democrats in the past, while Republicans tend to choose shades of red.

There has been some talk among women voters about shades of grey, but you might want to leave those daring color choices for the students choosing to vote independent.

Of course there are many ways to spruce up a drab, voting outfit. Brooches, jewelry and handbags are always a classy way to add some décor to your outfit choice. Choose one embellished with an elephant or a donkey and do Uncle Sam proud.

Classy, classy, classy should always be your mantra when selecting your voting apparel. Remember you are going to the polls, not the poles.

When you walk into that little, curtained booth and cast your vote for the next President of the United States, you do it with dignity and style.

Heels, pearls, perfume and lipstick are a must for ladies. Your future husband may be waiting next in line to vote.

Remember, Uncle Sam only wants you if you know how to dress.

Fashion disclaimer: If you have certain political attire on, you might be asked to remove it or turn it inside out because it could be considered passive electioneering.

So be fashionable at your own risk. Besides, we wouldn’t be true Louisianans if we didn’t add a little scandal in with our politics now would we?
