Year in Review Through Impersonation

Michael Musto Becomes Palin, Clinton, Winehouse & Joker

The Village Voice’s Michael Musto is at it again. After delivering a hilarious spoof of Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn Monroe in which he recreated the much talked about New York Magazine spread, he has come out of a year end review that employs some rather unusual illustrations.

Musto spices up his review by dressing up like the people he is talking about. This includes Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, Amy Winehouse, and Heath Ledger as the Joker in Batman.

Check out his impersonations in the above gallery and his review at the source below.
