BFG 2005: Costumed?

**Gadget** · 27th-May-2005, 10:46 PM

Last BFG we had everyone try and dress up as their avatar - should we do it this year? Would people just use the same costume? Would folks just change their avatar?

Thoughts?

My Avatars too boring, there's no point me dressing up

Well if Chicklet's dressing up as her avatar, I'd be tempted to fly up

Dressing up? That's her normal dance wear!

Costumes!

I don't care what the theme is as long as there's dressing up involved. (Not that I'm trying to compensate for anything like my dancing

) Maybe there could be a new theme as avatars were done last year? (Says she who doesn't have an avatar and wasn't there).... circus, medieval, nursery rhymes, animals, etc etc etc so many possibilities, not that I'd want anyone to look daft... I'm off to look for my first avatar in preparation just in case.

If I dressed up as my avatar I'd have to be small, round and purple!

I'm not one for "dressing up". I like to wear what I'm comfortable and cool in.

I don't think I'd be either, dressed up as an ice cream cone. I don't even know how I'd dress up as an ice cream cone.

Likewise, Gadget, how would you dress up as whatever that thing is that is your avatar?

I'm cool with a t-shirt with my ice cream cone on the front. And maybe some sort of forum logo on the rear. Which takes us back to this thread.

Mosy people only dress up for an hour or so then change into their party gear, and its only for the sat night party!

Anyway its most fun trying to dance in costume!!!

That said, I'd pay good money to see you actually dressed up as an ass.

I like the costuming idea. Could it be forum names OR avatars though, in case I can't find a blue puff-sleeved dress in Oxfam?

ah...many a true word spoken in jest...but it's actually very supportive of the er, BACK of course...for the record, that little number went to the R66 X-mas special....but I was only there for decorative purposes, and to drink the gin, or so I've been told

Alternative Avatar dressing up - sounds good to me

Maybe it's time you dressed up, then, as I haven't seen you be cool in anything so far!!
