Video Transcript

"Hi, this Shana Bethune on behalf of Expert Village and I'm going to talk to you about researching your George W. Bush costume. Now once you've decided to be George W. Bush for Halloween, it's time to start doing some research. Now you're probably very familiar with what the president looks like, I'm sure you've seen him on the news and you have some idea of what he wears. But in order to give an accurate representation of what he really looks like, it's good to do a little bit of research on the internet first. The best place you can go is right to the presidents website which is located at whitehouse.gov. Once you get to that site, click on president and a whole bunch of pictures as well as some videos will pop up. Look through some of these to get a better sense of what he wears from a day to day basis. Another thing you can do is find a portrait of him to print out to use as a guide while you're looking for your costume. I printed out this one and I plan on using it to find each element of my costume."
