Fancy Dress... you bothering?

[viberunner]

I dislike themed fancy dress, seems forced. Rock Ness this year was "vintage / charity shop" and I didn't see a single person dressed like it.

Even so, I decided to go for their cinematic theme. Initially I thought about 300, I've been working out! But... Leonidas... I'm not quite there. Not quite yet. So I got from the same film an "Immortals" mask, with head cowl, and I'll be taking a toy light-up multi-colour LED flashing sabre to go with it.

It's not for the daytime... this is for the midnight to 3am rave hours!!

How about you?

Youll find that loads of people buy into the fancy dress theme at kendal, if you see any photos of the festival theyre almost certain to contain at least one person dressed up !

I keep trying to persuade my 13 year old to give it a go but had no joy yet ! Not something weve done in the past, maybes one day

As Ramragon says, fancy dress is pretty well supported even though not everyone sticks to the theme. Must admit, I've been lazy/miserable and not made the effort in previous years.

Don't get me wrong. Fancy/weird dress happens at Rock Ness, though morph suits probably outnumber them, just not the official theme.

My festival wear is not fancy dress. It's pink ladies pyjama bottoms and strange tops. Currently I'm making daytime wear by stencilling brightly coloured t-shirts. Working on Tony Soprano tribute at the moment.

Shouldn't be too hard to spot you at the festival then !

The g/f gets annoyed by the amount of people staring and gawping at my lunatic self.

Me? I'm usually out of my tree and don't notice.

We didn't bother last year (our first time) as we didn't know whether anyone would. Seen as how many people were into it though we will be dressing up this time around, all costumes sorted. 27 days and counting!

were just getting dressed up a little, not sticking to any particular theme. my mate is going all steam-punk and im thinking a mixture between 20's gangter and country gent. god knows.

Went as retro footballers last year.

This year we have to spend £10 or over in the charity shop on a full outfit for a friend.

We then all have to choose a random carrier bag containing an outfit.

Not the theme but should be a laugh!
