What not to wear to the sevens
Billy T James costumes – relevant to NZ, comfortable to wear, unique, very appropriate. Nice work! (Pic stolen from the Dom Post)
It’s that time of year when people will call us buzzkills for not enjoying having our streets extra-clogged with vomit and having all of our female friends feel extra unsafe on the streets because of all the douchecanoes who think that because they’re wearing a costume they can harass with impunity.
But we’re not buzzkills, really! And to prove that, we’ve put our heads together and come up with some Wellington-inspired ideas for your Sevens costumes.
- Nothing that would involve you wearing blackface. Blackface is never ever ever okay.
- Giant kina.
- A Seafog monster.
- Cats in Phoenix gear.
- “Wear rugby kit and go as a rugby fan”.
- Go as a posse of Wellington personalities, like Enzo from Duke Carvell’s, Sally T from Mighty and Terry Serepisos (note: orange face is acceptable).
- “Wear a beard, flat-cap, expensive-looking thrift-store-style garb, bandolier of craft-beer bottles, and a lurid pink Joanna M-sized lipstick kiss. Don’t go to any games. If anyone asks, you were in a Wellingtonista costume.”
Just don’t do blackface, okay? And don’t harass people in the street. What are your costume ideas?
