Freshers Party - Theme 'Mismatch'

Hi IGSA members,

As you all know the Freshers party is scheduled for the 10th of September and the theme for the same is "Mismatch". There have been a lot of mixed reactions about this theme and so we at IGSA thought of providing you people with some ideas. Being dressed in mismatch is not necessarily being dressed "FUNNILY" but yeah it is being dressed "UNCONVENTIONALLY", "CREATIVELY", "INNOVATIVELY"

So here's what you can do:
1) Do a color mismatch...wear the brightest, dullest, wackiest of colors that you wouldn't ever wear. Wear colors that don't match, orange shirt-purple pant...hmmm now isn't that mismatched ???

2) Wear ethnic traditional wear over half your body and something westernized over the other half. A fusion with a traditional top and any casual pant below is a mismatch. Its trendy nowadays, but its a mismatch. Wear a dhoti with a formal shirt and a tie. Girls, wear a sari at the bottom and a t-shirt on the top or anything casual, formal ( now these r ideas got from other girls so plsss don't penalize me for it )

3) Don't go the conventional way. Make utmost use of your belts, scarves...wear your belt around your forehead, neck. Use the scarf to hold your pants. Sounds funny doesn't it ?? But its gotta be fun. Wear bandanas on formal wear, ties over a t-shirt. Be mismatched

4) Roll up a shirt sleeve, fold one side of your pant to reveal your skin or probably another pant. Do things you wouldn't do any other time.

Girls, I must say you probably have an added advantage over guys. You can do the craziest of things with your make-up and jewellery.

One eyeshadow blue, the other black (any other color will do too )
One large earring and the other small. Tie half of your hair to form a pony tail and leave the other half straight. Use different colors of hairpins (i'm sure you might have carried enuff stuff while coming from India). And how can I forget one of your favorite accessories ...SHOES. Use different pairs of shoes in both feet.

Hey everyone, just get your grey cells to work and i'm sure you can do the unthinkable. These were just a few ideas that popped up while I discussed this theme with my friends, but u ppl have got a week and half to think, so I'm sure you can do much better than this. I hope these ideas will atleast get you started to think of this theme.

To appreciate your creativity and innovativeness, we will have...no not Mr. Gladrags or Femina Miss India. Kya kare, IGSA doesn't have that much sponsorship. Hey but we have our very own Mr. Mismatch and Ms. Mismatch. Taaliyaaaaa..

You will be judged not only on the basis of your clothes but also on the basis of your performance during some of the events. Now don't u worry abt the events...there r going to be no 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' type questions. We can't afford to give u ppl so much prize money....so the events are also going to be just pure fun. Just be ready to introduce yourselves in the best way you can

So, that's it from my side. As I had mentioned before mail any queries and suggestions to http://in.f85.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=igsacultural2005@yahoo.com. Or call me (508-353-4819) or Ninad( 312-315-0382). Since the event is coming closer and i'm sure your excitement is rising, we've removed the 'Preferably after 9pm' barrier.

Be there at the Freshers, I'm sure you'll have a wild time members. And yeah, keep checking your e-mail for future updates.

As of now : Freshers Party stands on 10th September in the Chicago Room (2nd floor), Chicago Student Center West ( formerly called Chicago Illini Union).
Timings: 5 pm sharp (no IST will do in the US) - 10 pm

Best,
Akshay:)
