Not gonna say what she went as but it was a pop culture character. It involved body paint and was seen as culturally insensitive. She could have possibly been arrested for the costume.

We want to do Halloween as a couple plus conventions over the next six months but we've gotten older and gotten a little out of touch. We know we want to dress for the events but don't have many recent examples characters we could portray. I mostly watch older anime and she doesn't watch much TV outside of crime dramas and murder porn. She does like dressing up though and she's open to playing roles but I'm not sure what to suggest.

She's 5'2" pale skinned and plus sized. I'm tall dark and hairy. About 5'10" Plus sized now but should be lighter in August.

Open to any suggestions, never really did this before.

You literally cannot say this and then say "Oh but I'm not gonna say what it was."

You just can't.

There are laws against this.

She had a presentation on sustainability and it had a Moana theme. Everyone was partially in costume. Hula skirts over slacks, one guy had temporary tattoos. She had the best part of the speech and painted herself green and went as Te Fiti. The green accented makeup she used at first wasn't bad but when applying it, she ended up applying it all over her face, like a member of the Blue Man Group. The green paint was way darker than expected. She knew it was a mistake but took so much time she did the whole presentation in green face. She was reprimanded the next day.

I don't see how she could be arrested for this unless you live in a country with really weird draconian laws.

Green face to be precise, yes.

All over her face but not on her neck and shoulders.

She was post covid and not in a good mental state at the time to be honest. She's made a good recovery but I still don't trust her in a Spirit Halloween store.

I have dreadlocks but it would be a good character if I was bald. I'd have to go as Rock and it could work. I have a short sleeve button up shirt I've been waiting to wear

What's murder porn
Basically murder documentaries about gruesome murders that people committed against their lovers, detailing the methods and thought processes of people who killed their spouses or close friends. I thought her favorite type was women killing their husbands but she adores stories of women victims too. Very popular. She mostly likes podcasts and watches the Discovery channel stuff as white noise

Sounds like she just straight up did black face.

I guess I could see the appropriation of Samoan culture, though I doubt it was her being green that was the problem (unless she was so dark green she looked black) and I don't see why she'd be arrested for it.

It was just offensively bad. She worked 8 hours in green face. Halloween or not that was the worst decision I've ever seen her make.

If she was client-facing, she definitely could have been fired

Okay, yeah, this reads like "green face" is absolutely code for "black face."
