Thanks to all the wonderful folks here at Xmarks I was able to put together a very nice Prince Charlie outfit. I was absolutely amazed at the number of compliments I recieved from hotel staff and from complete strangers. My favorite comment was during a trip on the elevator. It stopped on the way to our floor and as a couple was boarding the wife said "See, you should have worn your kilt!".
The theme of the event was "Black and White", formal or costume. There were plenty of tuxedos, but I was the only person there in a kilt. Unfortunately, it seems that nobody got a picture of me wearing the PC. After cocktail hour, the evenings main entertainment and dinner I shed the jacket and waistcoat for more casual (and cooler) attire. Now to the photos:
Not a very good picture of me, but the best I could find. The guy back there in the red jump suit came as a newspaper - black and white and red all over. There's one in every crowd.
The storm trooper were in attendance.
...as was Beetlejuice. Funny side note: after he got his costume on and his make up 'just right' he was called to the main lobby to take care of a booking problem with his room. He said small children were running from him crying and the hotel staff was trying very hard to keep a straight faces while taking care of the issue.
But my favorite was Cruella Deville. Dressing her baby as one of the Dalmation pups was the kicker!
