Halloween Inspo: Teddy Perkins

All Darius wanted was a free piano. Enter Teddy Perkins, an unforgettable, much talked about “Atlanta” creation. Aesthetically the recluse is based on global superstar Michael Jackson; that’s where the comparisons end. Teddy turns out to be an eccentric psychopath, holding his twin brother Benny hostage in their shared mansion. Luring people over for sacrificial purposes.

Going full prosthetic face to be him for Halloween would be major. The basic version requires a wig and a Hugh Hefner style outfit of a smoking jacket, a paisley scarf tucked into a white button down and pants to match. You’ll stand out as much as his insane episode. Via: Vulture & Twitter

Your Sense Of Self Changes

“How your sense of self could change depending on your location. In Koreatown, no one ever thought Sam was Korean. In Manhattan, no one had ever thought he was white. In Los Angeles, he was the ‘white cousin.’ In New York, he was that ‘little Chinese kid.’ And yet, in K-town, he felt more Korean than he ever had before. Or to put a finer point on it, he felt more aware of the fact that he was a Korean and that was not necessarily negative or even a neutral fact about him. The awareness gave him pause: perhaps a funny-looking mixed race kid could exist at the center of the world, not just its periphery.”
