Everyone has toga parties. “Anything But Clothes” is overrated by now. You want to end the school year with a bash that will last through the ages, and you want a theme that people will remember. You could use your creativity and come up with your own theme, or you can let us do the work for you. Check out what we’ve come up with:
1. Thrift Shopping
RULES: Run to the closest Goodwill and try to find some of the items mentioned in the song, like a “dookie brown leather jacket” or a “wolf on your noggin” (we’re thinking that means a hat?) Extra points if you find R. Kelly’s sheets.
SONG: “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK8mJJJvaes
DECORATION: Bikes, scooters and roller blades everywhere. Just like the music video, and it prevents drunk driving.
DRINK: Spiked slushy from the local gas station.
2. Spring-o-ween
RULES: In the same mindset that brought us Christmas in July, dig out those Halloween costumes one more time. Who says we can’t celebrate our favorite holiday twice?
SONG: “I Love It” by Icona Pop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxxajLWwzqY
DECORATION: Pumpkin lights, jack-o-lanterns, spiderwebs, ghosts
DRINK: Screwdriver (orange juice and vodka)
3. Prom
RULES: Channel your high school self and put on your party dresses and black ties. It’s everything you loved about your high school prom, but with alcohol and no adult supervision.
SONG: “Suit and Tie” by Justin Timberlake http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsUsVbTj2AY
DECORATION: Balloons, confetti, streamers, king and queen crowns
DRINK: Champagne – keep it classy.
4. “I’m glad I’m not ____”
RULES: Simply fill in the blank: Who is the person in this world you would not trade lives with? Your English professor? Rob Kardashian? Lindsay Lohan? Find something to wear that will represent them and thank God you get to take it off at the end of the night.
SONG: “Stupid Girls” by Pink http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR4yQFZK9YM
DECORATION: Posters of your least favorite celebrities
DRINK: The Babymama
1 1/2 oz. liqueur, banana
1 1/2 oz. vodka, strawberry
1 dash grenadine
2 oz. pineapple juice
