Tasteless Fancy Dress Outfits

[anotheoldgit]

We had two discussions earlier this month one which I entered myself asking are Golliwogs racist, and another entered by another ABer regarding tasteless fancy dress outfits, to which I contributed to this post, with the following:

/// Surely these fancy dress costumes are FAR more tasteless. ///

*** And these are even more tasteless, but widely available from a well known web site supplier priced at £39.99 ***

Could it be that some on Answerbank has now reported the said internet web site?

You should be making the cozzy yourself and save money

can I suggest Maddy MCann - you could go looking like Perry Grayson (sort of a cultural double)

or Martin Bormann ? On the grounds no one knows who he is nowadays...

or Rudoph Nyreyev - you woud have to lose a bit of weight I think but gives you the excuse of wearing ballet shoes and pan cake make up.

or - is this a late Halloween - as a bat
and then say actually I am Mussolini.....

or as a Nun but with a parachute and explain O I am the flying Nun - when Argentina was fighting for Libertad they used to chuck dissidents out of aircraft - not many survived.

or as the Pope BUT with a nazi armband and then explain I am pius XI
He was the Pope during the second world war but not many people know that. Od same dress and say I am Pope Benedict whom everyone knows was in the Nazi party...

or dressed as a tramp and lug an car battery with you
and say I am a new style Army interrogator...

yeah I mean why BUY a fancy dress ?

In June 1953 I went to the Coronation street party fancy dress as a gollywog.

How times have changed.

That's 60 years ago dodger. I'd be worried if things hadn't changed since then.

[Dodger666]

Agreed Ludwig, but many things haven't changed for the better.

That was before political correctness Methyl.

Same here, methyl, I used to collect those badges as a primary school kid and so did many others, we used to do swaps at playtimes.
