No, there's no convincing me that showing up in blackface for a Jimi Hendrix costume wouldn't have been completely appropriate ... and the only reason I didn't do it was because I was too lazy to deal with a full face of make-up. I don't see
anything wrong with that. Ghost Hendrix was a lazyism.
Sorry, we just have completely different opinions on this.
I'm a little fuzzier (and thus could be convinced) about Bollywood skin tone ... but I'm leaning toward thinking my normal summer tan would be more appropriate for Indian Garb. I'm not saying I'll bother, but I can't imagine that something I would do anyway to look better in July would be somehow awful if I did it to look better on New Year's Eve.
I've never slanted my eyes to look more Asian for any occasion, so it's a good thing we're not having a Japanese Tea.
