fun with holidays
Hi, guys. So, I'm trying to prepare for Governor's School (in between frantically doing other things), and one way that I need to prepare is to get outfits for the various dances. Some of these are relatively simple. Goodness knows my family has enough "Around the World" clothing to outfit half the camp. But "All Holiday's Eve" is proving a little more difficult. I thought it would be fun to do a minor or really random holiday, so I went and looked up some lists. These are holidays that I thought might be fun, and my ideas for what I could do for them:
Earth Day (22 April)
Wear brown tank top and pants, paint leaf shapes on hands and face. Possibly streak hair green. Also could be Arbor Day. Bonus: restoration of Anne Marie the Tree! Also, face paint! Alternatively, figure out something else for clothing and paint globe on face. Still face paint! Detraction: difficulty of painting own face.
Guy Fawkes Night Day (5 November)
Basically, dress up as V. Bonus: V! Detraction: more money.
April Fools' Day (1 April)
No idea how to represent this, but potentially fun. Ideas?
International Talk Like a Pirate Day (19 September)
This should be obvious.
National Hugging Day - (January 21)
Wear a sign that says "FREE HUGS!" Bonus: free hugs, and less elaborate costume. Detraction: less elaborate costume.
Towel Day (25 May)
Wear a towel. With something underneath, of course. Bonus: less elaborate, but still fun. Detraction: possibly not allowed.
I'm leaning towards Earth/Arbor Day, because I love me some face paint, and it wouldn't require me getting a whole lot of anything new. But I'm still open to input. Which of these outfits would you guys most like to see pictures of me in?
