Dress-up

Feb 25, 2010 15:08

So this party I'm going to on Saturday night for Purim is also a costume party. I only have one real costume: the 1920s flapper outfit that I created for Mohamed's speakeasy party a few years ago and wore again to the costume birthday party the summer-before-last. I could wear it again but it's really more of a summer costume, and it's supposed to ( Read more... )

The 70s clothes might be the way to go...I'll have to check my inventory.

If you have access to army fatigues you can put on an id badge that says "Private Joke." You will be warm and clever.

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion: I also have a tarot card book I could carry around with me if I went with this one.

I have no costume advice, but I must say the Xanadu icon is AWESOMETASTIC!

Thank you! As I was choosing an icon for this post I thought, "I wish I could dress up like Xanadu..." There were so many outrageous costume changes in that movie...

Any kind of dress-up is cool. Originally, people dressed in fancy dress, like lords and ladies, to celebrate the holiday. At some point the repertoire expanded to silly costumes and more recently, dressing as characters. So, I think that any kind of dressing up that is fun for you contributes to the party fun. I'm planning on wearing one of the Indian choli and skirts sets that I used to dance in, possibly with a silly little sombrero fascinator that I made. I think Kristi and Suzy are wearing Renaissance garb. I am REALLY looking forward to irena_seraphina's costume.
