STAPLETON, Staten Island -- A cross-dressing bank robber who donned a silver and black formal dress, silver high heels, a black hat and sunglasses to rob a beautiful landmarked bank in downtown Staten Island Monday is being sought by the New York Police Department and the FBI.
Investigators say the unidentified man also displayed a silver handgun -- that matched his outfit -- during the robbery around 1 p.m. at the Santander Bank at 81 Water Street.
Witnesses describe the robber as a man dressed in a silver and black formal dress, silver high heels, wearing a black hat and sunglasses.
He was later seen on surveillance video in a nearby store pulling off the skirt, and was then seen wearing plaid shorts, blue and white Nike Jordan sneakers and no shirt.

Looks eye-talian to me... ;)
In this Bizarro world we live in, perhaps the black man was identifying as a white man and the reporter didn’t want to make a hurtful assumption?
lacks Corperal Kinger’s good taste in fashion, imho
It’s worth a try, there is a precedent.
To be fair, the banks are all closed at 6 pm.
My brain hurts.
O.o
lol I’m blond/blue. Go figure.
Dad was dark, parents from Naples.
Mom is light, parents from Sicily.
Must have been those nordic invasions :)
Mom was light haired, grey eyed from Tuscany.

How nice they said his gun matched his dress!
LOL! Perfect.
That’s very interesting.
I have a picture of pop at 18, with his pop AND grandpop.
That would be 1938 (he was 47 when I was born)
Everyone looks so dark but that could also be the images taken then. My father WAS dark. Much darker than me.
Yes. Never formal before 5:00 PM. Since many banks are open until 6:00, a minor adjustment to schedule was in order.
It was a great movie with a bizarre twist!

The fugitive was fabulous.
People are looking at your clothes not at you.
It was multitasking, being Bonnie AND Clyde.
Caitlyn, is that you?
