International Dress-Up Day #005 Theme!
[ 10 June 2007 ]
The theme for International Dress-Up Day #005 (on Saturday the 16th of June) is… Dress as your alter-ego or evil twin! (For those of you who were hanging out for a sci-fi theme, maybe your evil twin could be from the future… Just a thought!)
So, who’s your alter-ego? An eccentric divorcee who wears turbans & huge cocktail rings? Tank Girl (if you had to click that, shame on you!)? Alice in Wonderland? A French graffiti artist? A mermaid? Madonna? If you’re keener on the evil twin idea, what makes your twin evil? Do they succumb to every ice-cream shop in town? Do they moonlight as a telemarketer? Do they know the words to every Andrew Lloyd Webber musical ever made? Or are they just plain homicidal?
Remember, you don’t have to have a digital camera to take part! You could snap a Polaroid & scan it in, draw a picture, make a video or even just describe your experience.
Also, the way I’ll be presenting the contributions for International Dress-Up Day will be changing. This time there will be a cut-off date! This month’s cut-off is Thursday the 21st of June. PLEASE endeavour to submit all your photos & other ‘evidence’ by then! I was thinking of posting them all at once, but that means you have to wait until Thursday to see what happened, & that’s not what the internet is about! I’ll be posting them in daily batches instead.
Okay, boring administrative stuff aside, here are some resources & pictures to make your brain all juicy!
Also, Emily uploaded this song for all of us to help us get in the mood! Magnetic Fields – I Wish I Had An Evil Twin. Most awesome thing ever, thank you Emily!!
Don’t forget to visit the participate page to grab a badge for your journal/Myspace/Facebook account!
I look forward to seeing what you come up with, my little geniuses!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

james&august Competition Winners! Things I Learned From Watching Miss Universe 2007 Making Short Hair More Interesting Things To Do In Summer 41 Years Old & An XXXL -- What Should I Wear? International Dress-Up Day #004 Theme! A Fat Rant What To Do With Candles In Glass Jars?
Awesome!
I love the fact that this International Dress-Up Day gives us so much freedom to choose.
Oooh, I can hardly wait!
{foams at the mouth}
woohoo!! alter-ego/evil twin sounds like fun! i’d be going melbourne tomorrow for a hockey training trip though. so i wonder if i’ll have space in my luggage to bring along some err, dress-up gear. :(
ps: i know i know, i’m such a lousy procrastinator and a quack. but i’m sending you so-en from melbourne. oops.
I love the theme, I have never participated…I’m 14, age doesn’t count does it?
It’s going to be awesome.. I already have some ideas for my alter ego.. :]
I can not wait!
Yay! I was hoping you’d pick this theme, and I have got my outfit all planned . . . bwahahaha!
Yay, time to get a little bizarro!
I’m posting this off a Wii! Your site is formatted really well for reading on consoles :>
yessssssss!!!! I’ll have to spend some time thinking about this, but I have always really, really wanted to dress up like either Tank Girl or a Diamond Dog from Moulin Rouge.
oh guess what?! my last exam is on the 20th and the 21st is actually when my eox party is! this is so perfect i can hardly believe it! when people ask me why i’m dressed the way i am (and believe me, they WILL ask), guess what i’m going to tell them??
i love youuuuuuu!!! :D
ugh headdesk to the max! in my exam-induced delirium i read that completely wrong :( bah! well i’m going to dress up as my alter-ego/evil twin on the 21st anyway, and i’ll do my very best to get pictures in to you on that day :)
I will be studying like a mofo on that day… which is pretty un-anna-like… perhaps I can make something out of that!
Yay, for the first time I can participate! I’m so excited, I almost have my outfit completely planned out.
yeii can’t wait..I think that day I’m going to be travelling but this can make that day more interesting…
I’m impressed by those of you who already know how you’re going to dress, I am completely unsure. I keep thinking about dressing like someone from Valley Of The Dolls, with a TWIST! But I don’t know.
magnetic fields! what a perfect song. i really wanna participate in this one, but i have work! ahhh we’ll see if i can think of something too… hmm.
In a couple of days I’m leaving on holiday, so I decided to do the i.d.u.d. thing today.
Gahhh I somehow came up with a brilliant idea, & got all dressed up just now, makeup & outfit & setting were PERFECT....
but then it turned out the digital camera needs new batteries…. argh!!
I saw the pink wigs and immediately knew it was Zach!! Love seeing someone from my hometown make it to your homepage.
this is a really cool theme!
I really want to participate this time, I’ve been watching since it began but never made the time – naughty chicken I am – but golly this would be cool!
Now to think what can I be?!
oooo!
:)
I pasted a badge on my LJ for this too!
