What to Wear to the Movie Opening?
 

Dear Fashion-Wights:<P>I need some Middle Earth fashion advice. What should an animated skeleton wear to the LOTR-FOTR movie opening? <P>Sincerely,<BR>a Confused and Dead Fashion Victim,<BR>Lostageriel

Ummm, how about jeans and a sweater if you're up north. Down south try shorts and a t-shirt. <P>-rêd

Finally, sound (and constructive) advice, though I would have suggested you go dressed in the full livery of the Guard of the Citadel of Minas Tirith. Another suggestion is to go hobbit-on-the-downs style (figure that one out if you can).

Hmmmmm... for most climates that would be bit chilly.

hehe BW.<P>I would add that pleather is never a bad choice....

Hmmm. You don't think the livery of the Guard of the Citadel is too formal? Perhaps the high helm would not be good etiquette in a movie theatre. <P>The hobbit-on-the-Downs style sounds far more comfortable and informal but it would probably get me frostbite (and arrested). <P>Perhaps a compromise - jeans and a sweater with an Elven cloak with a leaf shaped clasp? (Make that a down-filled cloak.) Should I wear a ring? Or would that be in poor taste?

I will wear nothing and say I am an elf awakening at Cuivienen.

The latest shroud!

personally I will be wearing the latest in itchy woolen breeches, a nice rough colourless tunic and of course a shapeless felt bag that I will obstinately declare to be a hat....<BR>this reminds me:<P>a question:<BR>what do hobbit girlies wear? we know that hobbit dudes wear waistcoats etc, (and the lovely breeches!) forgive my boldness, but I was curious.

Lol! I love the idea of fancy dress LotR nights - my cousin once went to a costume Sound of Music showing - sounded dreadful, but I'm quite taken with the idea of going to see LotR in costume.<P>By the way, for the person who asked, I always pictured hobbit girls in old fashioned (medieval?) peasant type clothes, very rustic and a bit grubby (like the males I suppose). Lots of petticoats and suchlike for the girls, and a nice apron with big pockets (for mushrooms.)

Ladies should dress as Gimli.<P>Anyone over 6' 5" as hobbits.<P>Tiny tykes should be dressed as balrogs. With or without wings. Let 'em fight it out, maybe we'll finally solve this.<P>Guys should dress as vulcans - just to confuse things. Say "live long and prosper" as you hand over your ticket.

I'm already dead and I'm already and I've already swiped your cat before he wound up on the hobbit furry feet assembly line

Buy 40m of black curtain material.<BR>Then ask a female relation if you can borrow her black boots. Remember to remove the high heels.<BR>Now all you have to do is steal a big black horse and you can come as a Black Rider.<BR>Alternatively you could take up genetic experiments and crossbreed a lizard and a vulture. Then you could come as a Nazgul.

Well i'm wearing my ring....

Now, Zippo, are you gonna wear your Ring on your finger or on a tasteful gold chain around your neck?<BR>Hmmmm...I guess if I sit behind you in the theatre while you're wearing your Ring, you wouldn't block my view of the screen. That would be rather considerate of you.

haha well i have a "Tasteful Gold chain" Which came with it so i imagine i will wear it on that. Unless i deide to put it on, Which i often do. But i do know if i was the rings bearer by now i would be corrupt
