- There is a huge difference between a man wearing a princess dress or a pirate-lass skirt, and a man wearing a skirt made for men, such as a kilt. I have seen many of both today. It is not possible to get them confused.
- Tarot reading is basically counseling with pagan trappings.
- Indie authors, be sure you get your book edited before it’s published. Otherwise, you might publish something like a Mayan priest calling his nephew a “homo-punk.”
- The guy who won the Fair today, in my opinion, was an older man wearing a bedsheet “tunic” over just the front of his jeans and t-shirt, a canvas gardening hat, and a Burger King crown fitted over the crown of the gardening hat. Surprisingly, I did not notice all this until the second look, because his overall silhouette was just like all the other fairgoers.

Oh absolutely! I know what you mean. In a related problem, often historically accurate costumes are less immediately understandable than tropey, cartoony ones. I’m here dressed as Wilma Flintstone basically. If I were to dress as a real stone age or iron age European, I’d be wearing a skirt, poncho and hairnet, and most people wouldn’t know what I was.
There wasn’t an actual contest here, though. I just said he “won the fair” jokingly.
