So it seems that I'll be riding a float down Fifth Avenue at this Sunday's New York City Pride Parade.
And by "float" I mean "flatbed trailer with a bunch of dancing homos on it" and not "hot, swarthy, hunky Latin stallion I've nicknamed Float".
The float is going to be decked out as an Anicent Grecian temple and we are supposed to dress accordingly. The only colors allowed are white and gold. Oh, and a splash of pink if we so desire. You know, in case we wanted to gay it up.
This is where I need your help. The only costume I'm good at is my Fleet Week sailor uniform. Aside from the obvious Animal House toga solution, does anybody have any Greek suggestions? I promise I'll post photos!
Posted by mak at June 19, 2007 8:20 PMthe greeks were much more colorful than most people think they were, only poor people (and, say, graduate students) wore white.
if you want to be silly, go to the choreogoi vase. It's what the comedians wore: body stocking with huge fake cock and a small cloak. insidery, but cute.

Posted by: LaunderLust at June 20, 2007 5:21 PMHow about some nice white or purple bathing suit or underwear with the greek "key pattern" on the waistband? All Versace... Not sure how comfy you would be with just that.... you can always start there and have a loose drape of white fabric over ya. Oooo and gold laurels! Ok now i'm just designing it for you.

Posted by: Jess at June 20, 2007 9:17 PMYou could go the way of "300". Red cape and Diapers and sandals;)
I'd pay to see that!
Curtains, feta cheese, and honey. And Nair.

Posted by: Matt at June 21, 2007 9:21 PMForget the costume, yall are making me hungry.
Posted by: SmartAss at June 21, 2007 9:47 PMLook....A plain white sheet, hole cut in the center through which your head goes, and a nice gold (hopefully made of rope) belt. Wear nothing but a white jock strap underneath and periodically flash the crowd. sandals, sandals, sandals! and a tiara wouldn't hurt! Miss You, Matty!
big kiss!
