Pride Brighton

[Nampeung]

Hi all, this year's Gay Pride in Brighton UK is happening in two weeks and I am representing Thailand in our group as the theme is 'Pride Around the World'.

Someone is going to provide orchids but I am left to come up with the costume on a budget. Help???

I have only two weeks. Any whacky/normal/gay/straight suggestions welcome. This is one of the world's biggest Gay Prides...

What you need is a costume like this:

I was banking on something much more glam Cophen

Has no one got any ideas? Maybe this should be in the Gay Forum? What do the Mods think? Please move it if you agree

[Ijustwannateach]

Well, typical gay Thai costume is jeans and a T-shirt- more formal attire is also permitted...

I assume you really mean something more ethnic? Well, sarong-ish things could work for men or women, as well as a silk (preferably Thai-style) top. Wouldn't recommend religious wear for the obvious reasons; maybe consult a costume shop if you want the dancer glitz with the gold fingernail extensions, etc.

Thx Ijustwannateach,

I just feel I ought to do something more Thai as this year's theme in Brighton is 'Pride Around The World'

Well maybe I ought to talk to the local shops re fingernail bits... Gawd it's all a bit crazy to be honest.

My group and myself are representing Gay disabled people

How do you guys feel about that?

[cophen]

Have you got any Thai restaurants whose waiting staff wear traditional dress? They might be willing to help.

[cophen]

Or how about Tha farmer's denims?

[gayaffairs]

Why not trye one of these? I often used to walk around Preston Park dressed like this!!!

But maybe the singer's costume in the last picture? Good luck and have a good "Pride"

I am not sure nampeung is quite ready to go topless in a thong, her son might get a bit embarrased seeing his mum with her baps out

Why not hit a fancy dress shop & see if they have a suitable costume or maybe make a papier mache chilli suit

Is there something you want to tell us?

[Nampeung]

Ha no Boo!!! Just thinking too much as usual!!!

Cophen. Unfortunately if the Thai staff in restaurants did wear Thai costume and would lend it to me it would no doubt only fit on one leg!!!

We are entering Pride on power chairs!!!

[Boo]

Why not decorate the power chairs with thai scenery. ?

[Nampeung]

Yes well we are decorating the chairs... it's just what to wear as a costume that's the problem at the mo
