The Tacky Tourist Costume typically consists of various elements designed to capture the essence of a stereotypical tourist. It often includes a combination of mismatched and brightly colored clothing items, oversized accessories, and an assortment of touristy props. The key to a successful Tacky Tourist Costume lies in exaggerating tourist stereotypes and incorporating humorous details.

When assembling a Tacky Tourist Costume, one might start with a vibrant Hawaiian shirt adorned with loud patterns and colors. Pairing this with a pair of high-waisted, knee-length shorts in a clashing print adds to the comedic effect. The costume is often completed with knee-high socks, sandals, or sneakers that showcase the wearer’s distinct lack of fashion coordination.

To accessorize the Tacky Tourist Costume, individuals often opt for oversized sun hats, fanny packs, and cameras with large lenses. These accessories emphasize the tourist’s desire to document every moment while still maintaining an unmistakable sense of tackiness. Additionally, wearing sunglasses, preferably in a garish style, and sporting a lanyard with an oversized ID badge or a collection of keychains adds a playful touch.

Another significant aspect of the Tacky Tourist Costume is the use of props. Travel essentials like maps, guidebooks, and foldable city street plans can be carried around for added authenticity. It’s also common to see tourists clutching selfie sticks or walking around with an inflatable pool float in the shape of a flamingo or a donut.

The Tacky Tourist Costume allows individuals to embrace a carefree and fun-loving spirit. By exaggerating stereotypes and incorporating humorous details, wearers can bring joy and laughter to any occasion. It’s important to remember that this costume is meant to be light-hearted and in good fun, celebrating the enthusiasm and curiosity of tourists while playfully poking fun at their fashion choices and habits.

The Tacky Tourist Costume is a delightful way to express oneself at parties or events that call for a touch of humor. By combining mismatched clothing items, oversized accessories, and an array of touristy props, individuals can embody the spirit of a stereotypical tourist while spreading laughter and enjoyment among fellow partygoers.

Halloween Photo Booth - Tacky Tourist

It's me, dressed as a 'Tacky Tourist' (testing the photo booth)
-----
Just four pics from the photo booth I set up at a friend's Halloween party this year. Shot using a Rebel XTi, two Vivitar flashes and Cactus triggers. It was a tethered setup, with the photos displayed on a big monitor as they were taken. We got over 300 shots on a single set of batteries (in the flashes) with not tooo many misfires. I don't have umbrellas and we didn't have a lot of time to set up a DIY diffuser, so you see the shadows. The flashes became less reliable towards the end of the night but overall the booth was a huge success! I won't bore you Flickr users with any more shots, but there are a bunch up on Facebook 🙂

Chad as a Tacky Tourist

I had some friends over for dinner last night. Chad had dressed up for Halloween at work and came straight here from the office. He showed up on my doorstep in this getup, HAHA! I like the sandals with socks.

The funniest thing was that because he wore his sunglasses ALL DAY (even in the office), his eyes couldn't adjust to the light. So he left them on ALL evening. He even sat down in my pitch dark theater room and watched "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" with his sunglasses on.

Halloween 2009 Costume

In my Tacky Tourist costume. You can't see the name tag very well (even full sized) but it says, "Priceline Tours" and has my name on it. This was fun and silly to put together. The shoes & socks make it I think. Is it sad that the only thing I bought for this was the hat? hahaha

A Pair of Sparrows

Don't you just HATE it when you show up to peddle on Hollywood Blvd. and someone else is there wearing the EXACT same costume...?!?

On weekends, Hollywood Blvd. is literally crawling with popular "characters" with whom tourists can pay to have their picture taken. These "characters" are simply freelance individuals... affiliated with no one in particular... and so there is no "regulation" of their appearance or representation. This makes things interesting. Some "characters" are well-developed and interesting. Others are rather tacky. Often popular "characters" are duplicated!

Here we have a PAIR of Captain Jack Sparrows! One of whom is not pleased that I'm taking his picture without paying him for it!
