Would it offend you if I was Michael Jackson for Halloween?

Well, my boyfriend and I, and another close friend, a few more people are planning this for Halloween this year. We all want to be Michael Jackson, and in the best way possible, but we all want to be a different stage. For example, my boyfriend wants to be Beat It Michael, I want to be Billie Jean Michael, another friend wants to be Young Michael (because how much fun would wearing obnoxiously patterned bell-bottoms and vests be?) and we also figure someone will be Michael in his somewhat later days, like during Smooth Criminal or, even better yet, Bad. I think this is a fucking awesome idea, my boyfriend thinks it would be too much for us to use some face paint though. I think, if this costume is going to be good, that, frankly, it WONT be good if i just look like a straight up white girl. It would be like being a clown and not wearing face paint. He thinks it will be offensive, or could possibly be offensive, at least. But…we’re doing this with no negative intentions whatsoever in mind and I feel like if someone wants to be offended by this, that is a little ridiculous. Anyhow…before I start buying all kinds of sequined shit, I figured I’d get the collectives opinion on this.

So if you saw me walking down the street on Halloween with my exposed skin painted brown and a bomb ass sequined outfit on complete with top hat, would it seriously bother you?
