Everybody's going as Ali Wong for Halloween

'Baby Cobra' inspires a pretty great Halloween costume.



Talk about inspiration! This year for Halloween, a wave of Asian women (and men too) are getting dressed up as comedian Ali Wong, rocking the red specs and a black and white dress she's rocking on stage -- while seven months pregnant -- in her incredible, hilarious Netflix standup special Baby Cobra. (If you haven't seen it, what the hell are you waiting for?) Turns out Ali inspired a lot of people with a simple but great costume idea.

And Ali approves.

Thank you @angryasianman for sending me this. Please tag me if you see any other #aliwong Halloween costumes!

If your standup special hasn't inspired a Halloween costume, you're doing it wrong.
