A Gender-Bending Flapper Halloween On 'The View'

In all the strike deadline hysteria, we've barely had a moment to acknowledge that today is an (egregiously not nationally recognized) holiday. It's Halloween, everyone—the spookiest, scariest celebration of the year! And on The View, that usually means stuffing Barbara Walters into some sort of sex-kitten outfit. This year's theme—which we think was Ill-Fitting Cotton Club Costume Rentals?—gave Walters an excuse to talk about her club impresario father Lou Walters, a touching, grandmotherly reminiscence about a simpler time, when you could get a steak, a sidecar, and an unobstructed view of a showgirl's rack all for a nickel.

Drunk Barbara is even more annoying than Sober Barbara.

God, this is too meta. It's Barbara pretending to be a drag queen pretending to be Barbara. I need a drink.

And why does Whoopi insist on dressing like an Indigo Girl? She should flatter her figure with something a little less zoot-suity.

That is the only remotely flattering hairdo Whoopie has ever had. She looks more femanine then ever too. No wonder she seems to uncomfortable.
