I've been looking for an occasion to wear my catsuit....
LMFAO,
If i only had a cat suit.
Inappropriate, sure. But oh, it'll happen.
i'm under 17 and i'm going as Mimi (if i can find those blue pants...and if my mom lets me) i would be a good Mimi =). I think I can pull it off and not look whore-ish, if not i'll go as Angel in the santa suit.

oh i wont. although i feel compelled to remind you of that, being 4 inches tall and all..must be hard to find your Mark outfit. :)

My friend and I, both girls, I think are going as Mark and Roger, or just dressing up in Rent-the show- attire, like the Broadway shirt or something. We're making it a big event though..on the 23rd since we're not in NYC. *sigh*

regarding dressing up as Mimi: "I think I can pull it off and not look whore-ish"
this comment is intersting. I love Mimi as much as the next person...but how do you dress as Mimi (at least from the stage version) and *not* look whorish. Admittedly, the movie appears to have dressed her slightly more appealingly when she's not at the club...
i'm not going to dress up like she is in the movie-- the stage version w/ the blue pants and i'm probably going to wear a tank top instead of a bellyshirt and i wont wear heavy make up. I'm not even sure I will dress up as her, I might do Angel. And also, certain people look different wearing the same thing. One girl could look slutty wearing a tight shirt and another girl woulnt, it just depends on your body type.
Oooh I'm hoping I can get to the Broadway Flea Market and score a really great (cheap!) RENT costume peice to wear for the movie! Woohoo!!

"cheap" Rent costume from the flea market? yeah, that boat sailed in '99-'00. Nothing is really that cheap there anymore.
I'm still hung up on the fact that you people are serious! Tres Tack-ay!!!
Why not? Dress up, have some fun with life, who cares tacky or not.
-Still going to try the female Roger
I'm going dressed as Elphaba
Or a Storm Trooper....
I'm just wearing my black RENT tee, and I realllly wanna find a blue and white striped Mark scarf. I've looked everywhere. Does anyone know where I could find one?
And broadway flea market?? I've never heard of that. That's awesome.
I was also gonna go with my leather catsuit, but I think I'll just stick to my souvenir RENt t-shirt.
I'm going to make myself the Maureen 'Over the Moon' pants from the show (with all of the stars on them) or just wear plaid pants (even though neither of those clothing items are in the show).
I think I'll go with plaid, and wear my black and white striped scarf then wear my RENT t-shirt.
I'm going in the nude. I'm not going to get all dressed up in my expensive clothes.. That's not what Rent is all about, right?
my friends and i are dressing up too.... not sure who i'll be yet though. i'll probably end up being angel because thats who i am in our rent cast (my friends and i make up casts of shows with ourselves... does anyone else do that?) even though i'm a girl... haha
and wonderboy-- we want to dress up because we're crazy theatre obsessed freaks and we don't care what others think. agreed?
my friend and i are dressing up. i can knit so i made both of us a "Mark" scarf. i'm wearing my Rent t-shirt. and i might try to dress a little like mimi or maureen but i'm deffinately doing something rent-like. my friend is going as mark.

Any ideas where to buy a "Mark costume?"
Yes, I second the: Where can you find a Mark costume? Mostly I just want a scarf. I'm really surprised that most stores I checked out really don't have the scarf I'm looking for (and yes I have looked in wintertime)

I got my Mark esque scarf on ebay. Try there. Granted, I bought it a while ago, you never know what you'll find.
