I see nothing wrong with fairies. They're quite glamorous.  It's better than make-up.

I am embracing the fey aspect of Midsummer's Night, but one could always consider dressing in the costume of the era when it is set. Or whatever else you may take it to be. Isn't there a scene where a man is given the head of a donkey? Theoretically, anyone wearing ears or a tail could be dressed "in theme" this year!

I was considering something Greekish.. like one of the Athenian's from the play.

I'm not much into the whole fey thing either.....i was just going to perhaps bring a fake "Love-in-Idleness" flower that the character Puck uses on the lovers' eyelids.

We deliberately leave the theme a little vague so that people can have a broad interpretation.

One could see it as fae, or Greek, or Elizabethan, or transformation, or lasagna-wraps from Furnando's.

(the latter is a bit of a stretch but I happen to be thinking about them right now.  mmmm.)

I don't think we can translate it into Australian for you, I'm afraid.

Also, *something* about your first Anthrocon needs be a surprise.

I have a feeling there's gonna be lots of surprises... hopefully they're all good ones ^.=.^ and make me a happy (a little bit drunk) draggy. I've seen from a few video's that alot of the action is at the bar across the road, it looks like the place to be... and a very natural habitat for an aussie dragon such as myself.

...I'm guessing from the name, said wrap has lots of cheese on/in it..

Ironically enough even if it's a midsummer night's dream, I believe the Con actually takes place a week before the Solstice. Late spring,

technically

I have a great idea for how I'm going to have an on-theme get-up. But it's a secret! Partly so it can be a surprise....and partly so if I fail no one will realize!
