So I actually have some big plans for my seasonal parties, which is why I already started a thread in the Music Forum about a playlist for one of them. I do a gift exchange thing for Twelfth Night and a masquerade for Mardi Gras every year, and this year I am making them better. I think I am going to do Black and White for Twelfth Night, so that I can make people sort of dress up but they won't have to out and make a real costume if'n they don't want (also I think figuring out how to make a b&w twelfth night cake should be fun). The theme for the masq is Starry Night, and I am planning on picking up lots of white faerie lights at after-Christmas sales and putting them on my ceiling behind navy cloth and twisting them down the banister and all that. I have a list of costume ideas, too, that I want to put somewhere but not necessarily on like the facebook event page because 1) I will catch shit for already having the page up so damn early, and b) I want people to be creative and not use it as a checklist. I also don't want to end up volunteering to make ten people's costumes, but I can make suggestions if they ask, and I already have some patterns drafted.
-constellations (I am doing Scorpio)
-be a model of the solar system!
-Greek/Roman gods (Nyx, Erebus, Uranus, Oneiroi, Artemis, Selene)
-Arwen Evenstar (the evening star)
-a star, à la christmas pageants
-other deities of moon/night
-Puck or pretty much anyone from A Midsummer Night's Dream
-starry knight
-astronaut
-Buck Rogers, etc
