Mary asks…
how’s my native american halloween costume?
I will be a native american for halloween this year, I was wondering if it was very good I don’t have a picture but I can describe it:
it’s a dress that a rather light color with fringe at the end of the sleeves and at the bottom, it also has ribbon like stuff right before the fringe that looks like it’s beaded, in the middle i has the same thing with the ribbon and the fringe but it’s in a V shape, I also have a medcine bag with beads(it looks real, because it almost is) I also have the kind of shoes that they wore, can’t spell their name right now, I’m going to put my hair in braided pig tails, and instead of ponytail holders I’ll have little pieces of string(and I’ll also have a small feather inbetween the braids), the dress is kinda baggy so I have a long piece of fabric thats a bit darker color tied around my waist how does it sound?
Also I know that this sounds stereotypical, I knew that this would upset al least one person, and I’m sorry if it did. also I’m trying to dress up as a native american from the 1600’s to the 1700’s not one from today.
P.S. I am also part Cherokee.
admin answers:
Your outfit sounds stereotypical. I’m a Native American every day. I’m Shoshone, Paiute, Chippewa and Cree. Here’s my outfit for today: Black dress with brown and tan swirls on it. (I think I got it at Ross.) Black tights that I bought last week at Express. Black heels that I bought at Dillard’s. My hair is down and I curled the ends.
Being “Native American” is something I am everyday, regardless of what I am wearing. I was born “Native American” and had no clothes on when that happened.

Native American halloween costume?
any ideas or pictures are appreciated. i have moccasins to wear and was thinking about putting my hair in braids with a string around my head. what could i wear for clothes? preferrably not a dress. and any other extras that would go with it? beads, face paint, and feathers etc. possibly?
and this is me on the left if that help. (my hair is naturally straight)
I’m not mocking you. I’m native American boo (;
admin answers:
Let me get this straight…
You are Native American and you want to dress up as a Native for Halloween but you don’t even know what Natives wore traditionally? And you think we wore string around our heads? And you think your not mocking us?
So, what tribe are you a member of???
I have a sneaky suspicion that your claim is just some “great-great grandmother” bs that you think you can use to justify your misrepresentation of Native Americans.

Halloween Costume…?
Halloween Costume Idea: Native American…Picture. Opinion?
I’m 16 and going on a Halloween cruise party thing. Not anything crazy, and I’m hoping to get my boyfriend to go with me =]
If we decide to go, I’m thinking of what I could wear.
I don’t want to to be little kid-ish, but I also don’t want to be a slut.

Opinion?
Additional Details:
I’m half korean, so I have a darker complexion. I’m about 5.4 115 lbs.
Also, I don’t like my legs because of how bruised and scarred my knees look (I’m pretty clumsy, haha)
so does anyone have an opinion on how maybe I could cover up the knees, cause I usually never show anything above them…
Or maybe you could suggest something else that fits my happy medium?
Thanks

If you and your partner have a costume party to attend, you should consider getting matching or complementary costumes. Making an entrance in matching costumes will no doubt impress your fellow partygoers and set the two of you apart from the rest of the crowd. Visit

16 year old Halloween costumes?
Im 16 and having a hugeeee halloween party…but I can’t seem to figure out a good costume. i’ve thought of sailor, nurse, and native american but do you guys have any other good ideas? I want it to be kinda sexy and cute(:
admin answers:
Do you have a boyfriend? Cause if you do then you can go as a couple. Like adam and eve or another famous couple. And if not then you could be like a vampie with a short dress but really high knee high socks a cape or a gothic fairy or a dead cheerleader. :) hoped this helps
William asks…
Racist halloween costume?
So,yesterday i decided to go to a halloween store to pick up a costume for a party. Pretty mush all of them were really slutty and all i could find that wasnt was a native american costume,so i bought it. Its not a offensive costume other than its a seude dress with beads.Im not rying to offend anyone.But now that i think about it im afriad its racist.I spent alot of money on the costume and the party is tomorrow,i dnt have to time to get another one. Is it racist? yes or no? please i need an honest answer.
admin answers:
Yes. It is. We’re a culture, not a costume.
Funny how all the non-natives say “it isn’t racist”. I’m an enrolled tribal member living on the reservation, and we all say it is. So will every other REAL native. (White people with a cherokee great-grandmother don’t count.)
I’m an indian and I’m wearing jeans and a hoodie. So why not wear that?
Please look at these-
This is what you look like to us when you do this-

That’s a hard one! I absolutely love the film St Trinians, you could be schoolgirls like in that (supposing you have seen the film!). If you have read the book or seen the film Ballet Shoes you could be the characters in that. You could be the three girls in harry potter?! You could also be disney princesses?!
Have fun! You all sound really pretty!!!!!
