Costumes Are Always Cool

1/7/2013

Regardless of your political affiliation, little baby, it is safe for you to assume that the job of US President is a tad stressful. Every President looks like Walter Matthau after a four year term. Without fail. Hair becomes gray, skin starts to sag, and these guys always look like someone punched them in the face.

This White House photo by Pete Souza, recently published by TIME, reminds me that kids in costumes make everything better. If I were Commander in Chief, I would demand that mini super heroes greet me every time I board Air Force One, give a speech, or kiss a baby. In fact, all babies should be costumed. No kisses for non-super-hero babies.

I remember when I saw this photo. I may have even retweeted it. It's cute after all. But don't read the comments below the tweet because that's when twitter's dark side makes an appearance.

The transformation of Presidents that you mentioned is always astounding. It makes sense, given the requirements of the job, but it's still amazing to see.

I agree about the dark side! I was a bit nervous posting this, just because of that.
