I have not seen the movie Avatar, so I don't know the habits of the blue people. Based on the costumes, it would appear that the males get to wear clothes, and the women don't.
Heavens to Betsy. Would it kill the manufacture to give the female population a break. Spandex is not particularly forgiving. These costumes are not made for the masses. The dude version gets not just a pair of pants and a shirt, but a jacket on top of that. Think of the layers he is getting. She will be shivering like crazy with her barely there blue skin. He doesn't even consider grabbing a coat, it comes in the kit. Okokok. I am done. Just needed to throw that out there.
While I generally wholeheartedly agree with you about Halloween costumes sucking for women, in this case, it almost makes sense. In the movie, the main female Navi (blue person) lead is an actual Navi, and no Navis wear much more than loincloths. The male lead, shown in costume as a Navi, is actually a human who is "avataring" as a Navi to learn their ways. BUT, he DOES start wearing less clothing and presenting himself more like the actual Navis do as the movie goes on, so you could make the argument that the male costume should actually have LESS clothing.
ReplyDeleteWhy did I type this all out? LOL... back to work.
I saw this "sexy watermelon" costume at Buffalo Exchange. Seriously, sexy watermelon. Are they just taking random words and making sexy costumes out of them? Next year I'm going as a sexy fax machine.
