First of all: in October, every year, Barry runs an event called Donkey Kong October, or, more commonly, Dongtober. The event is just that everyone draws Donkey Kong (and associated characters). It's silly fun.
Second of all: Barry apparently has some VERY strong opinions about musicals, both stage and screen, and he bears a unique and intense loathing for Thoroughly Modern Millie.
I've never seen Thoroughly Modern Millie and I don't really play DK games at all, but I knew what I had to do.
His reaction was a thing of beauty and more than I could ever have hoped.
also here's a wholesome DK teaching Mario how to tie a tie.
Thoroughly Modern Millie / Julie Andrews as Millie Dillmount
Julie Andrews wore several fun black-and-white dresses in this movie. @mygreatadventurehasbegun covered one of them earlier in the month, here. Millie wears this "checkerboard" outfit for the movie's climactic sequence, in which she accidentally sets off the contents of a firework factory.
It's more of an interpretation of 1920s fashion rather than something truly authentic, but it gets the point across! The flashes of red in the underskirt are a cute surprise, since you don't see them unless she's in motion.
I've been trying to tell whether the headpiece actually covers the top of her head or not. I think I might see a bit of hair peeking out over it in a couple of these pictures, but I'm not quite sure.
