LornTehViking · 20th Sep 2008, 04:53 PM

So at my school, our Homecoming theme is Time Machine, and one of the spirit week days is devoted to that theme.
I dunno what decade I should do, or what I should wear.
I can do anything EXCEPT the 80's.

Advice?
I know you guys can come up with somethin' great. <3

EmperorNero · 20th Sep 2008, 05:10 PM

Why not 2003? It was a great year, at least for me.

LornTehViking · 20th Sep 2008, 05:19 PM

Ahaha, but they mean decades, not individual years.
I'm thinkin' the 90's.
Or 60's.

biisme · 20th Sep 2008, 05:55 PM

You should go victorian!!! just go REALLY far back

that'd be a great dress

Daniel · 20th Sep 2008, 07:55 PM

Be a flapper of the 1920's! A short beaded dress with Russian boots and hide a flask in the boot's fold!

*I did a paper on fashion of the 1920's if you want some help*

LornTehViking · 20th Sep 2008, 08:01 PM

You used the word "dress".

That's sort of an automatic "no thanks" from me.

Aha, sorry.

I haven't worn a dress in..... years.

Daniel · 20th Sep 2008, 08:12 PM

I can work with this.

Thought about a Zuit Suit?

awesomeap88 · 20th Sep 2008, 08:18 PM

Why can't you do the 80's? You don't have to wear a dress. You can wear a powersuit with giant shoulder pads and high waisted pants.

LornTehViking · 20th Sep 2008, 08:27 PM

Cause the seniors stole the 80's.
>_<
Dude I totally want a zuit suit now. But where/how would I replicate that without spending a zillion dollars, haha.

PS: I wonder what I'll do for freaks and geeks day...

Daniel · 21st Sep 2008, 07:52 AM

Well, just get a jacket with really padded shoulders, and then if you go to someplace like H&M maybe you can find some pants like those of a zuit suit.

Daniel · 21st Sep 2008, 07:53 AM

"high-waisted, wide-legged, tight-cuffed pegged trousers and a long coat with wide lapels and wide padded shoulders."

LornTehViking · 21st Sep 2008, 08:00 AM

I'll definitely look into that ASAP.

Any back-up ideas if this one doesn't work out?

Derek the Wolf · 21st Sep 2008, 08:04 AM

The Book of Genesis! Where a leaf as a loin cloth.

LornTehViking · 21st Sep 2008, 08:06 AM

OMG hahahahaha.

21st Sep 2008, 08:08 AM

You should so totally go as a power ranger from the 90's.....

LornTehViking · 21st Sep 2008, 08:10 AM

Holy crap.
I could!

I love you folk and you're intense idears.

Pixbadgirl · 21st Sep 2008, 12:53 PM

Another great place to look for a Zuit Suit for a good price is at a second-hand or consignment shops. Consignment shops tend to have pretty good quality clothing actually.

And I really love the zuit suit idea for you. A good friend of mine who proudly proclaims herself to be a 'butch dike' -which kinda intimidated me at first... : ) - wore one all through high school. Pretty cool.

Have fun at Homecoming!

Jeimuzu · 21st Sep 2008, 02:44 PM

I vote wearing a toga and going as pretty much any decade between 500BC and 500AD.

Orrrrr on a more sensible note, getting a suit, adding a black bow tie, slicking your hair back, and adding those really chunky-framed glasses. All you really need to be 50s, if you're Buddy Holly, haha! Or you could still do the hair thing, but wear jeans, a white shirt, and a leather jacket, and go as a greaser.

Decent backup for the Zuit.

21st Sep 2008, 04:35 PM

u should totally go as 1/2 Sunny and 1/2 Cher! i did it and everyone LOVED it!

shakerdancee · 21st Sep 2008, 11:54 PM

I adore the Hollywood 1930s...
