Buckwheat Say, "O'Tay!" (But who was he?)

Buckwheat was a character in "The Little Rascals," a series of steps from American comedy of 1922, entitled "Our Gang". The series was developed by a group of children and it was new and different that they behave in a natural way, such as false as unlike many other child stars have been shown to do so. Shirley Temple was a wonderful actor, but most of their behavior in the film was clearly mimicking what she had been instructed to do by adults, thus indicating lessnatural and authentic than they would in everyday life. "Our Gang" is also on view for the first time both sexes and of different races playing together accredited. While some say this was a step forward for civil rights, there are many others to create the series, unflattering stereotypes of African-American to accuse characters.

The role of buckwheat was created by Billy Thomas, and while he was not present in the series until 1934 was one of the best known allthem. Both Thomas and his co-star Eugene "Porky" Lee had speech problems and this was like "O'Tay" was their slogan.

If you want to dress up the buckwheat for Halloween or a costume party, there are some simple guidelines. This is one of the easiest costumes to put together because they have children as their clothes were just beautiful.

The first thing you need is a suit. No need to be pristine and in fact some might even paint or stainthem. Children can run and play together to tend a bit 'scruffy. Then you have to wear a striped T-shirt below. It should be in black and white horizontal stripes and a little 'dirty, after using the buttons on the front. It should be a jersey style shirt without a collar. The last piece of costume is a pair of shoes that are too large. This will help not only look younger and younger children, but there is an element ofComedy of ill-fitting clothing especially shoes. When the shoes are too large, the carrier must pull heels on the floor, as he / she is not just a specific sound galumphing, but also creating a physical comedian foot.

To complete the buckwheat see, perhaps the most important thing is to get a good wig. The hair on children in the series was often in a large Afro for the sections when they were actually afraid of being combed. They also techniquespoint the film negative, it turns white with fear. While this is part of what many like object feeding into the stereotype "pickaninny", was also a source of comedy for a number that mattered to them.
