Fantasy Fest Costumes

Post by nycparrothead »

My girlfriend and I are making our first trip to Fantasy Fest in Key West next month and we are trying ot come up with costume ideas and we're pretty low on ideas.
We'd prefer something inexpensive or to make them inexpensively ourselves and would of course be somewhat parrothead related.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

All you have to do is invest in some body paint - nothing to make at all :o

If I had a scanner I'd post pics of my father at FF....what a trip.

His costume, simple and to the point, was a leather speedo with a, er, sex toy hanging out, and a black cape.....which just about sums up FF.

And people wonder why I miss home....

the key to a Fantasy Fest custome is "Less is More"

I went several years ago and was amazed at how little people were wearing. Invest in a funky thong and a feathered boa and you'll fit right in.
Indecision may or may not be my problem....

I guess I should have seen this coming... :lol:
Okay... But! Just for kicks, lets pretend I want to be one of the more conservative Fantasy Festers (I know there are some, i've seen pictures!).
I'm guessing I'm not gonna get anymore ideas..... :D :D

Have a great time (FF virgin's huh?) You will be back for many more :lol: .....If you don't have a place yet to view the Parade from on Sat night, stand on the road next to the Hog's Breath across from Billy's.

Do not wear alot of stuff..and be sure your mouth isn't covered so you can still drink.
A great one I saw was a guy walking around with a box around him...the box said "free breast exam" ...well, you get the idea :D

It's such a fun time and anything goes..... I've been to the FF's of 1994-2000. I went with friends, girlfriends and my wife! All in that order :lol:

When they run you out of town make it look like you are leading the parade.
