In general: yes I am...but here's the deal...
I want the bf to dress up like a US soldier and I would be dressed as a torturee...not so different from a regular Saturday night, I know, but what ya'll think? You're all paragons of good taste and manners...

Posted: 10/20/05 at 2:53pmWell, lil, since I now have stories that start with, "So there I was bent over a chair in my black miniskirt while a blond dressed as a naughty schoolgirl whipped me...." I guess I'm not in a spot to judge. And it can't be any more tasteless than Prince Harry's Nazi get-up. Have fun. Mahzel Tov!

I think it depends on who will be at the party.
If there is a chance of some military folks being there, I might think twice.
Kind of poor taste in my book, but also kind of amusing at the same time.
Not much help here, sorry.

Posted: 10/20/05 at 3:04pmWell, I doubt any military guys will be where I'm going to be...unless they don't want to be in the military very much...OR they REALLY want to be in the military...why am I having deja vu with this post?

Not so much tacky as dull (i've been around i guess.) To spice things up and add some Broadway flair--
The US Soldier has Tourettes and a Tumor;
The Torturee has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
NOW you're talking 'bout a PARTY!

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

I'd be a bit careful, and would avoid trying to make yourself look Arab if you aren't.
Just think of the crowd you'll be with...that's usually your best meter.

Well, I was going with the hefty bag/witch hat combo that we've all seen, so it's not like I'll be in arab-face or anything like that...
How is that dull midtown? You got a better idea? And they ran out of Tourette's masks at Reminiscence...

Well, as i said, i've been around. It's been done a gazillion times. Almost every Black Party in NYC that i've attended (maybe five) has done a performance with some variation of US soldier/torturee. Same with private Halloween parties i've attended.

Well, duh...but this is an Abu Graib torturee...not the same thing at all--were you at Saints & Sinners?
PS: The Black Party isn't around Halloween...it's after...or WAY before if you want to go that route.

THAT'S MY POINT! Make yours DIFFERENT. Not sure how you plan to do that, but go for it. Am i jaded? Yes I am.
My Black Party days are a distant memory. Haven't been to one in over five years. My friends say we always had a blast (it's all a blur...) Now I go to the theater.

I was going more as a political statement than anything else, but you've sucked all the fun out of that...
Who could I possibly be that nobody has done?

middie--i've been to black parties too but i feel confident that lildogs could give this his own special TWIST ;-}
But, yes, lidogs, it would be tacky. "VERY...tacky," as Maggie Smith would say.

why don't you and the BF go as Elphaba and Galinda. You can act out every scene from OMG! Wicked. We'll all be the torturees then.
