Formal Ball Theme Suggestions - 2013

[darkbattousai]

If you have a suggested theme for the ball for next year. Post them here!

[ValkyrieMissle]

Some of the themes I have heard thus far are:

Mecha Military

School (like uniforms etc)

Underwater

Some kind of Winter theme (because I think it would be funny)

Hawaii themed (because we would be the only con that could really do it)

I know we should sort of stay away from the fantasy type themes as they have been done, so... more ideas would be great!

I haven't been to the ball before, so I don't really know what I should suggest, but here's my 2 cents:

Victorian

Steam Punk

Gothic

I tried

[ValkyrieMissle]

We had a steam punk theme 3 years ago, so that would be a repeat. Victorian is a little too similar to steam punk too
But thank you for the suggestion!

I'm one of the people that suggested Mecha Military... but think of Mecha Military like Char Aznable from Gundam, Lelouch from Code Geass, the LT. Dominic Sorel of the UF Force from Eureka Seven, and many more!

Some good examples also include Robotech, Voltron (they live in a castle so they are formal most of the time lol), Macross, Evangelion (somewhat), and MORE!

[StarAnise]

Space theme (like stars, planets, graceful stuffs)

Fire and Ice (opposite elements mixing together)

Vintage (its old basically )

[buma]

Feudal Japan

[DarkDaigoro]

Feudal Japan

+4 for this!

[nemurijay]

can Feudal Japan wait till 2014 as i think it will be appropriate for the 10th anniversary?

Feudal Japan for 2014 sounds fun to me

As for 2013, maybe we can do Victorian theme? Kinda like the type of clothing u'd see in the Black Butler manga/anime?

Or we can switch the two, Feudal Japan for 2013, Victorian for 2014?

[ValkyrieMissle]

Victorian is a little too close to steampunk for me to be comfortable with it

Feudal Japan would be great for 2014 I agree

MASQUERADE!!!!

But attendees can only wear their mask after they entered the event. That way you guy can see faces when they are signing in with their badges and tickets.

I assume the above suggestion will get shot down so

Pirates of the Carribean (or just pirates in general)
Arabian nights
Venetian (sparkly grape juice for wine)
Garden of Lights
Moulin Rouge
Winter Wonderland (idk how well this would work out)

[sabstheninja]

Might be a little similar to Feudal Japan, but mebbe Summer Festival themed?
Yukatas, "fireworks" in the form of lighting effects. Dunno how people would ballroom dance though.

Or mebbe Seasonal themed...come as a season, winter/fall/etc but in formal wear.

Being original is hard.

What's next year's theme for kon? Maybe tie it in somehow?

Tying in with staranise about celestial themes, something based on Frank Sinatra's classic song "Fly me to the Moon" would also be nice. It combines classy jazz music with the elegant celestial theme. It also constrasts textures with that as well (warm and soft for jazz and cool and hard for space).

other suggestions: masquerade, old hollywood glamour/film noir (stuff from 1940s).

How about a sort of cute candy theme? ( *-* ) http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk157/creamiicandy/th_biscuitchocolate.gif?t=1277544383
