“I’m going to dress as the Goon in January. Sort of.
I’m going to this party. It’s 1920’s dress.
Now, when I say that, I feel like people think “Oh, awesome! Flappers!”
Yes, flappers.
You’re hearing from the one person on Earth, apparently, who is not enamored with the flapper look.
I think the dresses are pretty ugly. Why a necklace down to your knees is cool I’ll never understand. And the hats/headbands are the worst bit. God do I hate those bucket-y hats. Now, I understand that the movement was important. But hey, people in hazmat suits are usually doing important shit. That doesn’t mean I gotta like the look.
As a dude, I feel like I’m supposed to dress like some guy from Bioshock or some shit. Again, feel like the only dude who hates mustaches and suspenders. Plus, a suit is an expensive purchase to look like someone who works outside a carnival freakshow.
I thought about being a newsie type guy, and I could hand out papers and say “Extry, extry!” and print out papers with things like, “Pete really needs to find the bathroom!”
Also, Nosferatu came out in the 20’s. So that’s an option.
Nosferatu or the Goon. Those are looking like the winners.”
