So I have to dress up as someone I despise tomorrow

I have a "Halloween" party to go to tomorrow that is also a political event, so I figured that I would dress up as a political character.

Am I completely doomed for going to an event dressed up as Sarah Palin?

1.) Depends if you look like Sarah Palin.
2.) Probably.

Edit: On the bright side, if you lose the glasses you can claim to be any number of non-idiots.
Edit 2: That is, if you get there and realize it was a mistake.

1)--- If these will load (friend request me if you want to),

2) I just hope something similar to the glasses is available at a drugstore or discount store. I normally do not wear glasses.

As for the glasses, you might not find frameless ones but if you go with a thin frame from sunglasses or reading glasses with the lenses removed, it'll look fine.

HOpefully I can accomplish this as cheaply as possible. (But it would be a good thing to have in my arsenal in order to motivate a campaign staff)

You can say Mr. Palin has syphilis, and because you're a dominionist, you couldn't refuse his request for conjugal relations. But it's okay. You plan to pray away the syph.

It was spoof of the James Bond flicks and the hero wanted to attend a party to gather info. He heard everyone was going to be dressed up in costumes. He arrived and it was a neo-nazi party and the attendees were wearing SS uniforms. Our hero was dressed in a Robin Hood outfit. He tried to blend in but that didn't work too well.
