Nampeung Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 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... xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nampeung Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 I was banking on something much more glam Cophen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nampeung Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ijustwannateach Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nampeung Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cophen Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Have you got any Thai restaurants whose waiting staff wear traditional dress? They might be willing to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cophen Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Or how about Tha farmer's denims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gayaffairs Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 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 My group and myself are representing Gay disabled people Is there something you want to tell us?

Nampeung Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 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 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Why not decorate the power chairs with thai scenery. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nampeung Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yes well we are decorating the chairs... it's just what to wear as a costume that's the problem at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
