Hi everyone. I'm having a costume quandary for tomorrow night. I don't have an option that is quite right, so I'm wondering if you'd all be good enough to let me know what your preferred option is of the following. As you can see, I'm listing the pros and cons of each.

Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz
pros: I can do pigtails; I have red shoes I can make sparkly.
cons: I have one gingham dress but it's red rather than the traditional blue; no dog available.

Jessica Rabbit
pros: I can get the hair just right by getting it blowdried straight at the hairdressers. This will give me an excuse to get my hair done ; I have gloves and the red shoes would do here too.
cons: I don't have a good red dress (the only one I have is a slightly goth-type affair with holes in the breast seams lazily and sloppily darned with black thread; Jessica Rabbit is not strictly speaking either a musical character or a God.

Eliza Doolittle from My Fair Lady
pros: I have a white thing that will do as her ball gown in the ball scene; quite a partyish effect
cons: a bit dull; not very fancy dress

Sod it. Just wear your new leather boots with your leather dress and claim to be the Devil in his Female Fetish aspect.

pros: partyish, fun
cons: cheating as far as fancy dress is concerned

Or something else? What do you guys think?

... on the grounds that you already look like Jessica Rabbit so it won't matter what you wear - any evening dress would do.

Though I was really tempted to say the leather cos I like leather.

I certainly don't plan on marking people for accuracy!

Jessica Rabbit

I've got that long red velvet evening dress if you want to borrow it?

If JR wins (and it is the front-runner so far), then that would be a great idea, and yes I'd love to - thanks!

No worries babe - just remind me when you get home - I may be a bit worse for wear if I follow

adjectivemarcus's idea for a cough cure!

I think I shall be in my new jeans and sneakers and go as someone from Rent!

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a musical - there's plenty of songs and at least one of them (Bob's final) is crucial to the plot!

Take a stuffed toy dog in a basket - Dorothy has a lot of Friends but she can always do with more :)

Darn. I thought R had been given a walking, barking toy puppy for Christmas that would have been perfect, but turns out I am mistaken and it is in fact a walking, purring toy kitten ;-)

'ave just seen a few of adjectivemarcus' photos 'n' yew def. chose the right costume ;)
