Obama Attends Gwyneth Paltrowâs Halloween Party As Ronald Reagan
President Barack Obama stunned the worldÂ last night by wearing former President Ronald Reagan for a Halloween costume. According to local reports, his costume includedÂ ââwhite face,ââ the process of applying makeup to make dark skin appear Caucasian. Â This is Obamaâs sixth consecutive year attending the annualÂ Hollywood Halloween Party, held at Gwyneth Paltrow's mansion inÂ Los Angeles. Obama reportedly sat six hours in a makeup chair to apply what makeup artist Jillian Swagger called âreversed white face.â Swagger did makeup for the film Snow White and the Huntsman and did a fantastic job, according to Obamaâs camp. Wig master Mike Higgy said, âWe went with a Reagan number three wig. The Reagan number six was close but wig three got Michelleâs approval. She has good taste in wigs.â The ââwhite faceââ was an edgy choice but to the Obamaâs Halloween is a family event. They arrived together and participated in the red carpet event before entering the Hancock Park home. First Lady Michelle Obama wore a large carrot suit with daughters Malia and Natasha wearing round onion and apple costumes. Waiter and part time comedian Kenny Bania noted that âTheir family photo looked pretty funny. Someone should have advised Michelle not to stand between her daughters.â Larry David, star of the hit HBO show Curb Your Enthusiasm, attended the party briefly and spoke to correspondent Â Blake Charles. Before a question could be asked, David said, âTraffic. La Brea to Highland? Forget it. Wilshire? Get out of here. You canât drive anywhere. Why do people even bother?â President Obama is famous for causing severe traffic jams when traveling with his security and advisers. âEvery time he comes to LA, the traffic is a mess,â David said. âRichard Lewis told me the other day he sat two hours to go one block. Heâs the president, he has a helicopter. But then where do you park the helicopter? What do you tip the valet for a helicopter?â David then turned his observations to Obamaâs family. âAnd he brought kids? Why would you bring kids to an adult party? I donât get it,â David said. âI could see if the party had started at 4 p.m. because then you know itâs a kid party. Right after school. Any party that starts after 8 p.m. is an adult party. Everyone knows that.â Shortly after their conversation, David become involved in some sort of altercation and was asked to leave. While leaving he shouted, âBut the traffic!â
