As you know, wearing a sci-fi outfit is mandatory between 2pm and midnight on Sunday 16 April… and time is running out…
So here’s a page of eek last minute sci fi suggestions for thee and thine…
- Come early so you can make something up in our Costume Room at The Grange.
- Julz and Ant have spotted ex-hire sci-fi outfits and space suits for sale at the Parklea Markets… apparently $25 each suit. The stall is open on Saturdays only.
- Find all your SILVER things in your wardrobe and wear them all together, add silver lipstick and you’re perfect.
- Visit your local opshop Uor wardrobe) and look for anything 1960s or 70s…. because you know, in the future it will all be in fashion again, (again)… so you could be a time traveller!
- Upcycle or re-use an old costume into something more sci-fi by adding scientific or steampunk accessories.
- Build yourself a weird gadget out of other things, and tell us its your time machine… or space ray gun… or (insert clever story here).
- Wear pyjamas or a dressing gown and be Dent Arthur Dent
- Use Boxes (they make great masks, robots, etc) or use foam like this guy.
- Costume shops can be fun to visit – you don’t have to rent a costume but it can be fun to visit some for inspiration… here they are.
- Add antennas to your head and be My Favorite Martian
- Speak with a slightly different accent, part your hair on the other side, wear something super outrageous and say that you have traded places with your self from a parallel universe for the day.
- Wear a lab coat. Preferably with strange multicoloured stains like your experiment has taken on life or exploded.
- Completely cover your head in a bag or a towel and say you are hiding from the Ravenous Bugblatter beast of Traal.
- Create an outfit out of Bubble Wrap. I can’t think how its science fiction but we will all have fun popping you all night.
More coming… if you have any last minute leads or ideas, tell us.
And don’t forget there will be plenty of things to play with in the Costume Room.
