...House of Representatives underwent some plastic surgery at the polls, emerging with a somewhat younger and more attractive look.

On the other hand, Woolworth's was always the place to go when you were little and couldn't think of a costume, so if you're stuck for something to wear you can get a superman/woman suit.
