If it is number three, that could be an interesting concept

People used to believe that dressing their male children as Vilakins would protect them from evil spirits.

But it increases the mockery they have to endure no end. :)

Actually it's not that bad. I mainly wear cargoes, jeans, shirts, and t-shirts. They didn't mention makeup after all. :-P

[identity profile] mistraltoes.livejournal.com 2006-01-16 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, but it says dress them as Vilakins, not like Vilakins. Though why that would scare off evil spirits, I'm not sure. :)

Because like the original (dress them as girls) I'm not worth their while. :-(
