Hello TL.net!

I have a small problem and need input from a large number of people and what better place to get that then TL?

Anyway, me and my highschool class will be graduating at the end of this semester but before we can do so we need to compete in something called the "Donner-Olympics" (Donner being my school). Now, the results in this competition are really important since the winner gets to decide in which order they want to embark from the boat that is used to transport people from the school to the parents. Quite a bit of prestige there


MY REAL QUESTION:
We need to dress up according to some theme because there are points given for the best costumes.
The theme needs to be uniform, we can't dress up as "Grey's anatomy" because no-one will get that.

Last years winner:
A Roman army, complete with a king and queen. This class came marching in to the sound of trumpets and with a front man riding on a horse.
They had sewn up capes and made weapons and shields, everything! It was really amazing and a bit above the level that classes usually do but the theme has stuck on and this year classes will be trying to outperform them.

Now, the horse thing has already been done so unless we can get hold of an elephant, no animals. Preferably the theme should not cost too much money since we have some slackers in the class but if you have an awesome idea, throw it out here

We are 30 students btw, all 18 years old.

All help appreciated (even the silly stuff)!

Body Paint with a face mask from those old masquerade parties. Something like this mask:

Example of body paints:

http://www.behance.net/gallery/Visualize-Creativity-Live-Event-Body-Painting/618453

Since it is a public event I assume you have to wear underwear. :/

If you have somebody good at art in the class then you can have the body painted people form a larger pattern when standing next to each other while each person still has his or her unique touch.

Costs, body paint, cloth paint (whatever it is called), some cloth you can stand losing. Some string for the mask (if you use them). Something to paint with, unless you can "borrow" that from the art class in school.

You ask this on a Starcraft site? Make a Protoss army of course! March out to Protoss theme music. Have like 10 zealots, 4 dragoons (maybe need 4 ppl per goon), 2 dark templar, 2 high templar. Or maybe take out some zealots and add a reaver!

Only problem is might take quite a bit of effort to make it look good, but all the materials needed for building basic suits shouldn't be that hard to find. And it does seem like the previous class put in a lot of effort as well.

I wonder if the girls would be up to that one

Same with the Starcraft idea, while awesome it's hard to get the rest of the class to sign of on it.


We have been thinking about dressing up as elves, you know, everyone has long ears, blond wigs and green coats (a-la hobbits).

Degree of nudity is of course up to the participants to decide. If they are in bikini sets that are painted along with the body then they shouldn't have a problem?
