The Prince says the festival is now 'just about wearing a costume to get drunk in'



he Prince of Bavaria complained about the effect 'cultural appropriation' has had on Oktoberfest, bemoaning the fact that the annual German festival is 'just about wearing a costume to get drunk in.'

While speaking to a local radio station, Luitpold Rupprecht Heinrich said that the focus on spectacle has caused Oktoberfest to lose its way.

"When I see Chinese-made folk costumes made of plastic, pseudo-costumes with tight dirndls, then the whole thing becomes a carnival," Heinrich said, per the Daily Mail. "We all talk about cultural appropriation today. Here it's happening to us Bavarians!"

The great-grandson of the last Bavarian king is not alone in his concerns about how Oktoberfest has changed. Many traditionalists feel what is supposed to be a celebration of Bavarian culture has now become an excuse to dress up and drink.

"If the whole thing is just about wearing a costume to get drunk in...you lose a lot of culture and tradition in the process," Heinrich said.

The first-ever Oktoberfest in 1810 was a celebration of the wedding between Prince Regent Ludwig of Bavaria, the later King Ludwig I, and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen.

and the problem is?

For as long as I can remember the visual ‘branding’ of Octoberfest was a pic of an attractive German girl with large breasts in a tight top showing lots of natural cleavage, holding an absurd number of beer steins.

OctoberFEST (emphasis on the fest) has LONG been a big party... and DRUNK FEST.

Visit a bierhaus in Munchen. It’s what Germans (and their guests) did and do.

Get over your woke self.

Regardless of the traditional folk event or festival that you wish to attend in Munich or Germany, you definitely need one. Every woman looks stunning and gorgeous in this Bavarian dress. The lederhosen women also has the same impact, transforming your figure, but nothing compares to the classic and stylish dirndl. The assortment you find here at Lederhosen For Sale gives you the perfect figure, enhancing your waistline, revealing a sexy cleavage, highlighting your curves, what more could you ask for from a costume!

For several women across the globe, Oktoberfest remains a most awaited festival. Being the largest beer festival that takes place in Munich, it attracts thousands and millions of tourists and locals alike who travel to taste the most exquisite and famous beer pints. The festival is all about dancing, singing, drinking beer, and of course flaunting your elegant dirndl dresses.

When wearing their dirndl, many women wonder about which side they should tie the apron knot or bow. This may sound unusual, but where you tie, the apron knot will tell others about your marital status. If done wrong, this can attract some unwanted attention.
When you attend Oktoberfest, here is our guide on what your dirndl apron knot discloses about your marital status.

1. The Knot or Bow on the Left Signals “Good Luck” for Men
If you tie the bow on the left side, this gives men the clear signal that you are single and ready to mingle and they can go ahead and try their luck. It also shows that you are open to some flirting when drinking in the beer tents and look forward to it during the festival.

2. The Bow on the Right Shouts “Stay Away, I’m Taken” In Germany, it is a custom that married couples wear their wedding or engagement ring on their right hand. Hence, an apron knot on the right side of your waist will mean that you are in a relationship or married and other men should stay away. It signals others that you are happy with your partner and not available for any relationship.

3. The Bow in the Middle Shows You are Single When you tie the Dirndl apron knot in the middle, it shows that you are single and a virgin! So many women, especially tourists are not aware of the meaning of tying the bow in the middle and soon receive some unwanted attention from men who are drunk. This leaves them with nothing but disappointment, especially if they are not single.

4. The Apron Bow at the Back Says You are a Widow Tying the apron knot at the back gives men two possible explanations. It means you are either a widow or a waitress. This depends on the situation and most men try to assess it before they end up offering some tip to the waitress, or consider condoling a widow.

When you attend Oktoberfest the next time, you should keep this guide in mind and tie the knot on the appropriate side, especially if you want to avoid attracting unwanted attention!

Did you ever get a tour of the upper floor bars there? They were members-only and by memory featured some extraordinary ‘talent’ working there.

Members had THEIR steins in locked cages on the wall.

And the rooms were gorgeous.

I was kind of hoping responders here would get into the spirit of my initial comment.

Missed the upstairs floors, my wife is a Mueller and we are going back. I did see some locked up steins and some of the tables were reserved for clubs, mostly guys in lederhosen. It was January and it was packed, there was very little snow that year and not too many locals went skiing.

They’d object because the actress is Jewish.
