They were only 12 years old and they were Totally Krossed Out, but these
pint-sized rappers managed to grab the national spotlight for their 15
minutes of fame in the early half of the 90's thanks to their incredibly
catchy rap single ‘Jump'. They also made one of the most questionable
contributions to 1990s fashion in the form of backwards clothes. That's
right – their big statement was wearing whatever they happened to have on at
the time, backwards.
need are overalls, jeans, a long t-shirt or a long
sweater. Just turn them around, and voila – you are touching a piece of rap
history.
Some people would argue that in order to full embrace all that is Kris Kross, you need to wear your shoes backwards too, but honestly, you'll kill yourself on the first flight of stairs you come across so it's better to play things safe.
Some details of this outfit might seem a little risqué, but then again, you are celebrating a scandal here so it is important not to get caught up in the moralistic overtones of your costume. If you can somehow find an older gentleman to accompany you to your event, then you can put together the perfect one-two Lewinsky-Clinton punch. Just remember not to get too carried away with any re-enactments in front of a jury of your peers.
And to get you in the clothes on backwards wearin' mood, here's "Jump."
Jump! Jump!
The Mac Dad will make you. ... Jump! Jump!
The Daddy Mac will make you. ... Jump! Jump!

Uh huh. Uh huh.
