Things starting with P

[Lioness]

Ok, in May, there is a themed dance I'm going to. The theme is 'something starting with the letter P'

So I need ideas.

Costume should be fairly pliable - I've gotta be able to ballroom dance in it.

Please, none of the obvious (and crude) suggestions. The oldies won't appreciate it.

[Em Blackleaf]

Go as a person.

Or a pie. Maybe a purple people eater? :smalltongue:

haha!

A person wouldn't be such a good idea - all of the people who aren't dressed up with use that as an excuse.

I like the Purple People Eater

[The Dark Fiddler]

Pokemon! Pokemon Trainer!

[Em Blackleaf]

Pikachu?


haha!

I have no idea how you'd do it, though. That might take some creativity. :smalltongue:

There will probably be a lot of Pharaohs, Pirates, Princesses, and Pixies, but those are some more ideas. A Parrot might be a difficult costume to dance in.
You could also be a painter.

Why can't I go to cool themed dances like this? :smalltongue:

[Raiki]

Pterodactyl?

[FoE]

How about "punk"? Should be easy enough to dress up as one.

[KuReshtin]

Hmmm.. Lioness dressed up in american football gear would be quite interesting to see.

How about going as a pepper. Chili pepper would probably be easiest to dance in as it's slimmer.
Or maybe go as a Plant. Could be suitably modified to meet your requirements. Just a dress with a bunch of leaves attached could do the trick.

[Lioness]

Princess would be easy...I have several ballgowns.

Perhaps a peasant, as well.

[Perenelle]

Perenelle!! You can dress up as me! :smallbiggrin: :smalltongue:

umm... you could go as a...
Platypus
Pineapple
Penny
Pillow
Pie
Pizza
Pencil
Princess
Paratrooper
Pilgrim
Pumpkin
Pixie :smallamused:
Plum
Pilot
Panda
Pirate
Policeman
Potato
Pig
Puddy tat :smalltongue:
Pocahontas
Peter Pan
Porky the Pig
Pinocchio
Pluto (poor little left out planet....):smalltongue:
Pluto (the disney dog)
Pippy longstocking
Penguin
Pink Panther :smalltongue:
Princess Leia
Piranha

...I could go on but I'll stop there. :smallsmile:

That is an awesome list.

[Alteran]

Please, none of the obvious (and crude) suggestions. The oldies won't appreciate it.

You could make it a reference to the history of psychiatry - go as a cigar! :smallbiggrin: (Or pipe, but then you lose most of the reference-effect.)



I like the Purple People Eater

Although I really like that idea, too. If we're being serious, then it's better.

Edit: Pluto is a great costume idea too! You could act really bitter for the entire night, and hang around the edge of the room. Later on you would get drunk, and write "NOT A PLANET" on your face and arms while crying. It's not just a costume, it's a performance!

[Maximum Zersk]

I say pixie. A pixie terrorist. A pixie terrorist pterodactyl.

[Perenelle]

That is an awesome list.

why thank you. :smallsmile: *huggles*

I think Pluto the Planet is my favorite one on there. :smalltongue:

<3

Peter Pan would be an easy costume. Or you could go as a poltergeist! Cover yourself with flour and mess with people! :smallbiggrin:

[Player_Zero]

Pen- Wait...

[FoE]

Pimp? Prostitute?

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Pen- Wait...

Yeah, I was just about to say that...


Pimp? Prostitute?

Both?

[Dogmantra]

Professor Science!

[bluewind95]

A pencil. Or a pen. Or a peacock. Or a priest.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

A priest/pimp.

[Crimmy]

Go as a "Pato", or like a really big "Pollo".
You could also go as a blob of "Plastilina".

You could also go as a "Piojo", or as a "Puerta".

[Groundhog]

Party popper?
Puma?
Punching bag?
Plate?
Pringle?

[The Dark Fiddler]

Princess would be easy...I have several ballgowns.

Cosplay time! Princess Peach!

[MethosH]

So many NSFW ideas coming right now... Omg... Why the letter P? WHY?!

Anyway.... You could go as a giant pickle:

Or... a giant "pickle". Your call. :smalltongue:

[rayne_dragon]

Has plywood been said yet?

Oh, wait, are we supposed to be helpful? I'm seconding Pirate, Pixie, and Purple People Eater then... possibly some combination of all three... I also don't think anyone has suggested Plato (bust out your best toga) or Pluto as god of the underworld.

Also, NSFW ideas are almost as easy with any other letter... er... no wait, I just have a dirty mind. P is an easy letter for that kind of thinking.

[Mystic Muse]

go as Pongo!

(the Dalmation dad in 101 dalmations)

[Sneak]

Peter! Go as me.

Seriously, though: parenthetical citation. Type a sign to your left side (the viewer's right) that says something like this:

("Parents' Last Name or Names" "Birth Year").

For example:

(Smith 1972).

[bluewind95]

Oh, come on. The pencil is super original. :smalltongue:

Can't be too hard to dance and stuff in such a disguise, either.

[randman22222]

Hmm.

How about some generic prophet?

Or a penguin?

If it were me, I think I'd go as a prophet.

[Eldan]

...Pharaoh?

[Faulty]

Pop music. Choose a few famous Pop stars with unique fashion (like Michael Jackson or Lady GaGa) and make a composite costume that blends their fashions.

[Kallisti]

Party crasher is out, since you were invited.

Patriot?

Puppeteer?

[Cobra_Ikari]

Psylocke. >.>

Or any other comic book character with a "P" name. Polaris would be a good choice, too. >.>

[Thanatos 51-50]

Has nobody said "Playground" yet?
If so,I'm disappointed and would love to see a playground costume.

[Lioness]

Peter! Go as me.

Omigosh.

Awesome.

But no-one there's smart enough to get it, with the exception of a couple of people.

I'm liking the pixie, pirate, purple people eater.

Race, class, prestige class.

Oh, you mean purple people eater isn't a prestige class...?

Oh.

Thanatos - but there's so much diversity!

[Thanatos 51-50]

Thanatos - but there's so much diversity!

I mean, like, wear a costume with a sandbox and a jungle gym and a swing set or stuff that looks like/suggests the above.

[GrlumpTheElder]

Costume should be fairly pliable - I've gotta be able to ballroom dance in it.

Plywood?


What about a Puritan -- You just need black cloth
Or a Preist, or the Pope!

[Lioness]

I mean, like, wear a costume with a sandbox and a jungle gym and a swing set or stuff that looks like/suggests the above.

Not sure I could dance in that...

I'm pretty sure the pope has to be male...but if I wear enough costume, no one can tell!

[Felixaar]

Persnickety.
Popcorn.
Permanent Marker.
Purchased Goods.
Poorly designed costume.
Purse.
Postal Worker (take a gun).
Portal to another universe (probably not a good idea).
Patches, the friendly hobo.

+1 to the list of good stuffs (that would work together)

A persnickety pixie pirate purple people eater.

Oh I'd have fun explaining that to people.

[thubby]

go as the phantom of the opera

or porky pig

[Dihan]

Go as a Power Ranger! The Pink Power Ranger!

[Trog]

Pooh, Winnie the

[KuReshtin]

Pooh, Winnie the

Yep, that's what I thought you said. :smallbiggrin:

[Thanatos 51-50]

Peterubed Pixie Pink Power Ranger Pulverising Pesky People.

[Prime32]

Every GaoGaiGar villain has a name starting with P. Therefore you should go as Pinchernone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RgIU5tgCkA). :smalltongue:

Alright, Primarda (http://gaogaigar.wikia.com/wiki/Primarda) would probably be better...

[Thanatos 51-50]

(Inspired by Prime32's username)
Pissed, Pistol-packin' Prime Number

[Prime32]

Go as yourself - a primate.

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who leapt straight to NSFW material...

That aside, how about Palpatine? Or the Pope? They're the same person after all...

The NSFW thing is why I put a disclaimer up the top. Don't want to shock the oldies

And a lot of these (palpatine/pope included) would be lovely if I were male, but I'm rather markedly not.

[KuReshtin]

How about a 'Pencil-Pusher'?
Business Smart dress, hair in a bun, glasses (somplete with the lanyard-watchamacallit) and a red stapler.

Grab a few other people who you know who are going, all of you dress up in combat pattern kit (as in camo clothing) Throw on some berries and some combat boots and go as 'Part of a Platoon' :smallsmile:

[Gadora]

You could dress in brown, affix a shipping label to yourself (this could double as a nametag) and go as a package.

No, just go as the colour pink. Paint your face pink. Tell people that calling them by their colour rather than their name is racist. Get offended. Leave early.

[Gadora]

Attach pie tins to your clothing, carry a flute, and tell people you've just come from Hamelin.

Dress in your oldest, grubbiest clothing, walk to the party, and be penniless.

Cover yourself with sharp objects and be pointy.

Take zero potatoes to the party and be a potato famine.

Go as an apple and tell people you're a poor speller.

[Lioness]

Dance partner and I had a discussion

We want to copy someone else's costume and say we're plagiarists.

Either that or go as a punk and a parent. We'll spike up his hair and I'll carry a baby around.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Convince several friends to go with you as a peruvian fluteband.

[MethosH]

Convince several friends to go with you as a peruvian fluteband.

That made me lol so hard.
