Tacky Tourist

Kicking off the road to Hollywood, Monday’s Tacky Tourist day brings out the school’s travel lovers and lost souls. Students bring out their Hollywood Boulevard roadmaps and disposable cameras. When one thinks of a tacky tourist, an image of a man in a Hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts, and sneakers comes to mind. The best part of a tourist, however, exists as the constant look of confusion and fascination that plasters his face. To dress up as a tacky tourist for this year’s Homecoming dress-up week, students will need a Hawaiian shirt, khaki pants, bulky sneakers, tube socks, and a confused facial expression. To add on to their touristy appearance, students can also carry around binoculars, a camera, a travel guide, or a walking stick.

Step 1: Pair together your favorite touristy t-shirt with a pair of simple khaki shorts or pants.

Step 2: Throw on white tube socks and a pair of sneakers for ultimate comfort and tackiness.

Step 3: Select a prop from the list and carry it around to your classes. Make sure to frequently stop people in the hallway and ask them for directions to the Hollywood sign.
