Fancy Dress Goddess costume

glossyblue

Hi, this is my very first posting!!
as the people I work for are weeks behind paying my wages I have no money and I am going to my best friends party at the weekend. She has given it a Gods and Goddesses theme, does anyone have a bright idea or a brilliant suggestion to help me out. I'm totally stuck!
thanks

Love this site, :T

to be cheap you could always go with the roman toga feel!


quite simple all you need is a white bedsheet! (look up toga pictures on google!)

just dress it up with some fancy plastic tiara (get from a charity shop or woolies for about £3!) , some strange makeup, and perhaps make some cardboard brooches and paint them gold

finish it off with some sandals! (get some flip flops for liek £2 itl do the job fine!!)

Welcome to MSE glossy blue! :hello: You'll never leave you know

Green Goddess - khaki/brown or green clothes if you have them with a fire extinguisher or a bucket of water.

If your confident go in normal clothes and say "but I am a goddess"

Hope you have fun at the party! cel x

If you want a sexy toga just get a white bikini top and a cunningly placed toga. Also bouffant type half-hair up with curls coming down at the back is also a bit greek-y.

Alternatively wear whatever you want and make up a G0d

I know its none of my business but I do hope your pay is sorted out soon - have heard too many horror stories about people not being paid for ages and eventually having to quit and never getting the money back...

Thank you so much for your great suggestions, my money worries are giving me brain freeze.
I can’t go for the sexy thing, far too shy, nor can I go for the confident “I’m a Goddess” wish I could, but could definitely go for the Green goddess with a fire extinguisher. I had another idea which is to go as Skadi, Norse Goddess of Winter, I can borrow a white cloak and wear a white dress and wear ivy in my hair. One of these will definitely work.
sharkey, thanks for that, I hope the money works out soon too or Christmas will be a nightmare, it was last year!

Sorry, can someone explain the 'green goddess with a fire extinguisher' thing to me please, I don't get it ... it's probably my complete lack of sleep in the last fortnight but I am now intrigued!!!

Green goddesses are Bedford army fire trucks - http://www.ayeready.org/green_goddess/greengoddess.html

I remember them being used when the firefighters were on strike a few years back.
