hey,

a friend of mine is having her 21st tomorrow night, and she decided to make it a black tie theme (i.e formal).  
i was gonna just wear a suit/shirt/tie like most people will, but then i was thinking it’d be fun to do something different.

anyone got a cool idea (that wouldn’t be superhard to actually do?). I would quite like to go all retro like a 40s person or something like that, but i don’t think it’d be that noticeably different, i’m not gonna go out and buy or rent a special suit or anything. Even just a tux/cane/tophat would look coolish, but i don’t have them.

i’m sure there must be something innovative that’s still simple-ish to do, just SOMETHING so its a bit distinctive. Now i’m thinking maybe masquerade?

dunno, call out your ideas 🙂
