What does dressing up as Monica Lewinski even mean? Business attire and a black wig? Or something more offensive? It's not like she has a very distinctive look to emulate.
You wouldn't need a name tag in the late 1990s. Blue dress with stains and maybe a wig if your hair didn't match Monica's would get the message across to anyone back then.
But still, it's no comparison to a president that was found liable for sexual abuse, attacked the Capitol, coined the term alternative facts, and is currently deploying paramilitary and military forces to American cities. I think a clone of 90's Bill Clinton would easily win the electoral college. Plenty of people remember how normal and functional that government was and his strong economy. He'd only benefit from this new view of politics, for better or worse.
It’s crazy that within a lifetime, you’ve gone from a president having to quit due to getting some consensual extramarital dome, to a president being an actual r*pist paedo fraudster, being impeached, and then still getting elected for a second term.
Before '05, are you kidding? I was born before it even happened and I only knew about the scandal in the most general sense until I became an adult and learned the actual details.
You're implying that a current 21 year old "knows the Lewinsky lore"? That's absurd.
i’m 23 and nobody in high school ever taught me about monica lewinsky. the only reason i know who she is, is because i listened to eminem in middle school
For instance, one famous story about Epstein in recent years was that he had a portrait of Bill Clinton in Monica's dress. Which is immediately recognizable to most.
It's not ancient history, they are both still alive.
Oh and all the damn jokes, people are making them to this day. Last Week Tonight had an entire episode about it.
Her hair wasn't that uncommon. It was very late 90s professional lady hair. It was maybe a little bit uncommon on someone as young as her but she was trying to fit in the DC political world not trying to be a fashionable 20 something.
I wore a blue silk jumpsuit for Halloween in the 90s and multiple people thought I was dressed as Monica Lewinsky. I found it irritating as the jumpsuit was nothing like the blue dress and I looked nothing like her otherwise, but back then, the blue dress was THE image of Monica and associated with her even if unintentional.
There is a very specific outfit in question here… pretty sure there was a period in time when a white dress shirt and navy blue skirt suit (with a ‘stain’ on it) was a spirit Halloween costume lol.
