indeedsir_backupThis may fit into a story I'm writing.
Bertie and Jeeves go to a Masquerade Ball, Bertie as...Robin Hood...and Jeeves as either Sherlock Holmes or the Scarlet Pimpernel. The others at the ball (not at the Drones, btw, and containing no Drones) think Jeeves' costume is rather stuffy and unadventurous (they being rather the flashier cabaret set), but Bertie thinks its spiffing. He tries to tell them so, without seeming, you know, homosexual. (Not that they would care. And he probably is a little, I mean, what comm is this? ^_^ But he doesn't want to seem like he's crushing on his valet, even if no one there knows it's his valet.)
Good idea?
Also...suggest costumes! For Bertie and Jeeves, for women, for men, based on fictional characters, based on Lady Gaga outfits--whatever you like!

P.S. Once I actually have a substantial bit written, does anyone want to beta for me? *hopefully ingratiating grin* o_o;;

Date: 2010-10-18 12:50 am (UTC)You could have a group go as Peirrot, Columbine & Harlequin (and the rest) - that was pretty popular around that time, but not particuarly excting. When did those women that dance the Can-Can first appear? :P Spanish dancers and other "exotic" things would be good - whatever country was the flavour of the month in England at the time.
