[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have four kids - maybe I'll dress one up as an African American person, one as a Chinese person, one as a Hispanic person and leave one white and they can go as diversity or the UN. [/quote] No one is suggesting dressing up as any of the people you describe. Dressing in a Sari or dressing in a Kimono is not dressing up as an Indian person or a Japanese person. Same reason why dressing up in Lederhosen or wearing Klomps as the dutch do is not a mockery. Are you really this stupid IRL, or do you just play a stupid character on the internet?[/quote] So how would you answer the question about what her costume is? If your child dressed in a kimono or a sari and someone asked what were you for Halloween - what would she respond? [/quote] "It's a kimono! Isn't it beautiful?"[/quote] exactly. apparently common sense isn't good enough anymore when choosing a Haloween costume. [/quote] I'm a Kimono is a weird answer. She is wearing a kimono. Saying it's a kimono isn't answering the question of what the costume is, kimonos are a piece of clothing, not a costume. That is like someone dressed in a ballerina dress, answering what are you with It's a dress. Doesn't make sense - they would say what the dress signifies - a ballerina. So if what the kimono signifies is that her costume is a little Japanese lady then answer that. You could also put a black wig on her and [b]maybe do some eye shaping with make-up or tape to complete the outfit[/b]. [/quote] why would anyone do that? This thread is about someone wearing a kimono. [/quote]
