Maybe everyone can go dressed as a puppet master, without noticing the strings coming from their own limbs, until the entire room is just a huge tangled mess.

Nanami could be Bo Peep? Bo Peep looks rather dainty and dollish and has three sheep.

I like the idea

And I'm sure Anthy's strings would conveniently appear in Nanami's feet way

Utena and Anthy should go as Napoleon Bonaparte and Josephine (I love the pic in the EM gallery!)

Chu-chu should show up in a giant mecha.

OH MY GOD, that fanart you're referring to is AMAZING. Utena and Anthy must go as Napoleon and Josephine, and not just because costuming as other people/characters "gets me going." Okay, MAYBE just because of that.

I can see Chuchu in a tiny little Eva unit that needs to be plugged into the wall. And he keeps trying to assault Saionji with his mini progressive knife, but the cord is too short to reach him!

Wouldn't Kanae be the best choice for something like that?

I'll post later if I actually get any ideas for other characters.  This would be a fun discussion to have with my husband (also an Utena fan, but not a poster here yet), so I'll do that then post our thoughts.

I spent most of the series thinking Integra was a dude. A hot dude.

I was luckily informed of the confusion beforehand, so I got it (and then read the manga, in which she's drawn a lot more feminine). However, when my flatmate cosplayed as her, she too got confused as a guy. I stumbled across a picture of us labeled "Witch Hunter Robin and some priest dude."

I was amused.

And to get back OT, how about Touga and Saionji as Oscar Wilde characters?

Let's have ChuuChuu as Zim. Muhahahahaha

....and then have Kozue as Demona from Gargoyles. So fitting to me....

Have Utena do the Harlequin bit, only have half of it be 'female' and the other 'male'.


...or have her dress as Oscar of Rose of Versailles.

I can see Akio and Anthy doing one of those cheesy couple outfits like Adam and Eve with those strategically placed fig leaves. Scratch that, no leaves. I always kind of had the whole original sin thing in my head when I think of those two but maybe I'm just a little crazy.

OH SHIT. How could I forget??? Saionji's going to be a Klingon. It's true. You know it's true. You especially know it's true if you've seen the episode where Riker uses the power of the Q to make a Klingon woman for Worf.

...no? No TNG fans huh? I know, I know. One does not simply walk into Mordor or attempt to join different fandoms.

Saionji is most certainly a Klingon! He's angry and he can't express his feelings. Don't think Work ever had an exchange diary though.

Love Star Trek so you are not alone there. My brother and I could recite Wrath of Khan in entirety when I was 12. Voyager is my favorite series though. And I like Worf with Dax much more than Worf with Deanna. Deanna+Riker=Imzadi<3

Also obsessed with LOTR too. My favorite book of all time.

As for Oscar Wilde...which characters? Shouldn't Akio be Dorian Gray? In an attic somewhere is a picture of Akio looking more and more like he did in the movie.

ROFLMFAO. I just had a mental image of that....LMFAO. Brilliant.

Hmm.. Saionji as Oscar the Grouch maybe? I'm not sure if that lives up to 'Big Green Monster', though..

I was re-reading Major Barbara, and thinking Akio might be Undershaft? xD;; 'The Devil' so to speak. Utena as Barbara? Or Cusins?

Hay, what about Utena and Anthy going as Westley and Buttercup from The Princess Bride?

By the way -- one of Jonathan Frakes's worst performances ever, and that's saying quite a bit ;)  Yet, somehow, a great episode.

'Worst performance' suggests there are good ones. (Riker isn't my favorite character by a long shot. He's Touga without the skill or sex appeal. Picard, however, is not Akio. I love Picard in a different way. ) As for the episode, well it's a Q episode, and all Q episodes are by law great episodes. At least in TNG anyway. Q just isn't Q without the strangely homosexual banter with Picard.

Any half-decent ST convention held at Ohtori Academy (lol nerdgasm) would have Saionji as a Klingon and Akio as a Romulan. It also so happens that Akio and Saionji are my favorite SKU characters and Klingons and Romulans are my favorite ST races. Coincidence, or Giovanna being predictable?

Big green monster: Cthulhu!!! (Saionji = tentacle demon )

But he'd be too busy being Eros. That said, Touga would indeed wear the hell out of a toga. But I would say that given my obsession with ancient Rome. (Bad joke? Anthy going as Caesar. Post-Ides of March.)

I think that Akio would be Eros.  Actually... I think that Touga, Akio, Saionji, Ruka, and an unwilling Miki would all go in togas!  Touga would be Adonis, Akio would be Eros, Saionji would be Apollo, Ruka would be Pluto, & Miki would be Mercury... Aww... Miki in a toga... *squeal*

Naah... Hannibal isn't sexy enough! If Akio was gonna be a murderer he'd be Norman Bates (Hitchcock version.)

Is it wrong for me to think that Hitchcock's Norman Bates was a studmuffin? (Not including when he was in the whole drag thing...)
