In order to remake a scene of the movie some like it hot with Marilyn Monroe, some of my classmates and I had to dress up as the opposite gender. Because of this, a question came up about what was good about dressing up as the opposite gender or working with some who was dressed as the opposite gender.
Dressing up as the opposite gender was not complicated. What is funny is that when one realized that have to dress up as a woman the first idea that one got is – I will need a wig, some jewelry, a little makeup, and also breast - . It looks like if people had stereotyped women’s appearance – how they must look according with men’s viewpoint - . However, in this case the most important was emulated the movie and being creative adding our personal style. On the other hand, even though I grew up in male chauvinist world (Colombia), dressing up as woman was completely normal (funny); moreover, I could see that for our Asian friends it was very usual too. Probably, it might be a little embarrassing for some of us because perhaps it was the first time, but certainly it was not a big deal for them. Finally, after I saw some of my classmates dressing up as the opposite gender, I considered that the differences between male and women are only question of apparel.
