Parents love watching their kids play dress up, and the only thing they love more than that is actually dressing the kids themselves. Sometimes it’s a cute outfit to show the grandparents, sometimes it’s a big fluffy fleece onesie, but the ultimate is to dress your kid like a rocker.
That said, I offer you the top three most challenging musicians to play dress up with your little tykes.
3) Lady Gaga
Her album The Fame was released in 2008 but it was 2009 that was truly Gaga’s year. Her music had a new pop sound but Gaga was more than music. Her art is the visual mixed with the aural and her fashion has included everything from dressing in plastic bubbles to being drenched in blood at the 2009 Video Music Awards. Bonus points if you can dress your kid in her pointy silver Grammy 2010 outfit.
2) KISS
This one is a no brainer and there are already plenty of parents who worship KISS and dress their kids up in the make-up for Halloween. To be authentic, you can’t phone it in and must cover your kid’s full face in make-up. Even better if you have four kids and dress each one as a member of KISS: The Demon, Starchild, Spaceman and Catman.
1) Freddie Mercury
There are very few performers who could match Freddie’s stage presence. This choice might not be as obvious as KISS, but it is much easier to pull off than covering your squirming kid’s face with elaborate stage make-up. Though it may be easier to dress as Freddie, it’s also more courageous. Placing a child in tight rocker pants, or a Pierrot unitard screams 80s rock.
