I’d imagine the same response if a person showed up in one of those T-Rex costumes.

With people in period dress at a museum it can look like they were hired by the museum which venues don’t like. It isn’t persecution. Plus such a large dress could knock into things?  She’s got a beautiful costume but of I came in a thong bikini because I love the 90s security would likely not let me in either.

I wanted to be Ursula but the told me I was the right size but the wrong number of legs. Curse my bipedal self! 

I completely get your point and I agree. But now I’m obsessed with someone walking up to me at a museum and saying “sure, thats a great painting but you should see my watercolor I did of my cat.” then them whipping out the painting from behind there back. +20 points if it’s done with crayola

I must wholeheartedly ‘Ugh’ this. It is awfully self-satisfied and entitled to think you can swan around in a garment that makes you take up an enormous amount of room and jeopardize collections and also lead a lot of people to think you work for the space. I think she is just a fancy asshole.

I think a whole point of a museum is that the museum wants to control what experience its visitors have, no? Someone who goes to the theater wouldn’t put on a costume and recite lines from a different play, would they? You wouldn’t go to an art museum to show off your own watercolors, would you? This lady was intent…

I was thinking this might be a thing like how Disney bars people from dressing up in character at Disneyland and Disney World, because they don’t want tourists taking pictures with middle-aged size 14s in Cinderella costumes instead of with the 19-year-old size 0s they hire.

I don’t know her personally, but I run in the same circles as her. MOST people who dress up like this know that you should ALWAYS ask first because most museums and historical places (especially the big ones like the Met) are not cool with this sort of thing. So this gets a big eyeroll from me.

i’m alarmed that they kicked her bustle to the hedgerow.

Liechtenstein is the Hydrox to Luxembourg’s Oreo. While Liechtenstein may have come first, no one gives a shit because Luxembourg is just so much better. 

Jesus fucking christ, there is no escape from skeevy men.

Calling something a strawman seems to be the “fake news” excuse for not defending a point.

As a senior manager, if one of my employees initiated and pursued sexual relations with me, that would not absolve me of my responsibility to not take advantage of the situation. The dynamic between us inherently puts the onus on me to act responsibly and professionally even when the other individual isn’t respecting…

Whenever my liberal friends are shocked and horrified at how so many women approve of Trump, I remind them of all the women who would *still* support Bill Clinton today, my friends included.

I was 16 when this happened, and Lewinsky is only five years older than me. It’s absurd that everything she’s done for the last twenty years—half her life— has been marked because she was coerced into a sexual relationship with someone. She’s my generation’s Hester Prynne in a world that should have long moved past…

I swear to god. Employee👏 Employer👏 Relationships👏Are👏 Presumptively 👏coercive👏

These kids, who certainly deserve sympathy, should not be given an authoritative position on gun rights. Their tragedy does not make them experts. When they stand across from Rubio and tell him he’s just like staring at a killer, or call the NRA lady a murderer unfit to care for her own children, they’re displaying…
