Captain Jack Will Make You Fey Tonight
If Tummies could talk they’d ask for Rennies, but if Rennies could talk in an accent that’s not stupid, they’d ask for a Captain Jack costume.
So on Sunday gone, while enjoying myself way more than I deserved, I hear from the Kansas City costume industry that they are being besieged with requests for pirate costumes.
Whilst carrying on their regular business with the theatres and independent film production companies of Kansas City, they’re constantly disturbed by people who are disturbed, probably constantly. For some reason the people of the conservative midwest are in urgent need to dress up as pirates, specifically as Captain Jack.
Hardly up (or down) there with Nostradamus to see this is the next stage in pseudo Irish/Celtic/Old World/Oirish/Renaissance fayre, but nevertheless I told you so. But hey, don’t believe me and my contacts in costume, check out Dudes Dressed Up As Captain Jack Sparrow
