Fashion Crime Bingo



Fashion Crimes Bingo was revived back in 1996, when I was looking for ways to entertain myself in Los Angeles while on a shoot (I say revived because Alexis reminds me that she recalls playing the precursor to Fashion Crime Bingo with me as early as '92 or 93 at the Black Bull Pub, a game I called "Black Bull Bingo". She also says we were playing early prototypes of F.C.B. in '94 or '95 at another pub we used to frequent, so the actual invention date is hard to pin down. But you can see the original L.A. prototype at the end of the card pages if you like). The game has always been a favourite with my friends, who have been urging me to share my bingo invention with the masses. Which I steadfastly refused to, until now, you lucky style mavens!


Before you get the cards, here's a few rules!

1. Print out the cards on the following pages.
2. Distibute amongst 1 - 3 other friends.
3. Go to a place where people gather, i.e. bar, patio, park, etc.
4. Mark off the squares as the corresponding offenders walk by!


A few other thoughts on the game:

First person to get a straight line wins (duh!)
The photos are for amusement purposes, not as a reference.
Some crimes will be borderline. I leave it up to you to battle this out with your friends.


Actually, this is often the fun part.
