save me from my "friends"

So I fear it may have been lost in the DDoS attacks on LJ, but I'm looking for suggestions as to what costume I should wear to the Sirens masquerade ball. The theme is "monsters," and so far, the only idea proposed -- by some people who claim to be my friends <g> -- is that I should dress up as Sarah Palin. I therefore look to you, oh Other LJ Readers Besides Those Two, to give me some better alternatives.

I like costuming a lot; I just don't have any good ideas right now. And depending on what I settle on, I'll need some lead time to prepare it, hence asking now. Any thoughts?
