Bops in the first few weeks of a new place are nice because dressing up provides a natural conversation starter.

All I know is that Pembroke is having a "P is for..." bop and I'm a blonde female. I'm still debating whether I should go as a Porn-star, or a Punk (or just give up and go as a Pixie)?

The porn star idea raises a question: does wearing nothing whatsoever count as a costume?

Maybe....but I have something in my wardrobe that looks scarily like what Jessica Simpson wears in "Dukes of Hazzard" (inferior to origional, but not the point). Whats Merton doing for their Bop?

From what I hear through the grapevine (the grapevine's name is Megsy) it has something to do with Hollywood. I hate costumes. I'll just wear half-decent clothing and say I'm going as an executive producer.
Trinity's doing 'Back to Skool'

i-need-cake are you starting there in October? I am, studying Physics, nice to meet you! :biggrin:
:smile: Maybe people could help me out with this. If your college theme was "In a past life I was..", what would you go as? :smile: I'm stuck for ideas, bearing in mind that the outfit has to be easily attainable!

Male of female?

Seriously!

Male - go as John Lennon, just a loose linin shirt and round sunnies will do it, especially if you've got messy or long hair. Doesn't matter if you don't look like him at all! Failing that, just draw/buy a mostach and call yourself Freddy Mercury. However, if you have chinos, polo shirts and sweaters, just go as sebastian from brideshead. all you need is a foppish fringe and a teddy bear.

Female - hmm, depending on the female, i'd say wear a red/sexy/vintage type dress and say you were a sex kitten orgo as a popstar from the 70/80's you admired. depending on how much flesh you wanna show, you could be a bikini model, or if you wanna cover up, a sixties beatnik (stripy shirt, jeans and boots. converse will do it)

This is what I do for a saturday job! I work in a fancy dress shop, so a physical description and an idea will help a lot!

or ignore me, either way.

somerville has the same theme... it means you have to dress up as something that begins with the same letter as your name.. any ideas for L....?!?

Any ideas for an original costume for 'Golf Pros and Tennis Ho's' (male) ?
Reply 35
hmmmm, no. maybe one white golfing glove, leather jacket and short, short shorts.

This depends entirely on your security in your masculinity. Failing that, try the "I'm a sexy Franz Ferdinand singer" look, but with more argile. Just a tight shirt, red tie, argile sweater/vest/hat and regular trouser (NOT JEANS)

Polo shirts seem to be a good part of golfing though.

plaid pants and one of those golfer's hats .

Anything that could involve my new, white, silk scarf would be a plus...

just wear it anyway!

Female :smile:. Umm I was thinking some sort of dress but all seems quite expensive and dont reckon its worth spending much money on to be honest! I'm still stuck as I don't admire any pop stars from the 70/80s or any popstars at all for that matter :biggrin: sorry! Plus, I'm kinda confused as to whether the theme is meant to have something to do with your personality or whether its just random, what's your opinion on that?
