    /// Wearing clothing from lands overseas

    is a practice that will, some, displease.

    You may think, “What’s the harm?”

    And yet, look at each arm.

    If unbent, they would reach past their knees!

    It took the older brother several more years to finally have her deposed from the throne.

    The kiddies are rather robotic/

    but the parents are downright despotic/

    it’s a pitiful sight/

    (they could not be more white);

    and they couldn’t look less exotic .

    It was a momentous day / As they dressed in a ‘comic’-cal way / She, an Arabian Princess / He, a Mongol warrior, no less / And so the beginning of cosplay

    These children, in dress Oriental / Are cute and quite ornamental / The sneaker, a Nike / Gets some people cranky / If Keds, would you be less judgmental?

    /// Something odd in this painting is showing,

    (though, at this point there’s no way of knowing).

    That cute turbaned child

    seems peaceful and mild,

    but I’m sure that’s a gang sign she’s throwing.

    I dunno… seems to me the only two things that qualify as cultural mis-appropriation are actually stealing things from a culture (a lot of relics qualify) or using stuff and claiming it’s original when it’s not. I certainly never felt guilty about wearing Nehru jackets.

    Portrait of two children in eastern costumes

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tilly_Kettle_-_Portrait_of_two_children_in_eastern_costumes.jpg 

    has info and links that point to more info about this painting.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image at 

    https://thatispricelessblog.com/2022/02/masterpiece-2884 

    and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. First work by this artist used here.

    Boy, I really got off on the wrong track with this one. I thought it was a poster made by an early “bikers rights” organization, titled “HELMET LAWS SUCK”

    Posing for this painting sent the Farkington-Farnsworth children into years of therapy. Some issues were never resolved!

    It’s one of those “Find the hidden objects” in the picture!

    I see a colander. A curtain. large tweezers. A feather duster.

    It’s an interesting family trait/

    Atavistic- but clearly innate/

    They once swung through the trees/

    With arms such as these/

    And at times they still brachiate..
