This year ridiculous Rod Blagojevich wigs will make the former Governor of Illinois a popular politico to replicate on Hallowe’en. What makes Blagojevich an appealing choice is easy to see—his much-mocked blown-out bouffant is always good for a chuckle and [finding a suit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-halloween-chipotle) is a task reasonable enough for even the laziest man to master.

Looking for Rod Blagojevich wigs? The Illinois Rod Blagojevich Big Wig Costume Accessory is a fun and cheap way to replicate his hairstyle. For something a little more realistic, the Blake by Tony of Beverly wig in dark brown (with 5% grey) will probably match your standards. At $96 it’s pricier than other Rod Blagojevich wigs, but you can bet that it’s a lot less than Blagojevich was selling Obama’s senate seat for.
