A masked Bernie Sanders kicked off 2021 with a
meme-worthy image of him seated at President Joe Biden’s inauguration, arms crossed and
recycled-sweater mittens on show.
So many things have happened since then: the
NFT craze, the COVID-19 variant,
commercial spaceflights, and so on. But online punk rock fashion retailer Dolls Kill is going straight to the origin and paying homage to the Vermont senator.
As first spotted by
The Cut, the website is retailing a ‘
Once Again Asking’ Halloween costume set recreating the Bernie Sanders meme; chair not included.
Unlike most “sexy” outfits out there, this one seems to be optimized for comfort—there’s a gray coat-dress and cozy mittens. A blue mask resembling Sanders’ is also thrown in, making your full US$85 worth.
To err on the side of caution, the outfit is simply described as a “political chairman costume,” but the reference—or
bern—is obvious.
