Hang about
Your flat was originally 5 bedrooms and a servant suite and the rooms have been chopped in half? How many rooms do two hot girls need?

Please tell me one is the "pillow-fight" room

Speaking of which
The sister-in-law needs a costume fora fancy dress party, themed as "Victorian Literature". It's a gay man's party, surprisingly. She was most distraught when I pointed out that Queen Victoria died in 1901, 3 years before J.M. Barrie got around to writing Peter Pan.

Any suggestions? Other than Alice in Wonderland?

I did suggest Miss Haversham but, get this,
apparently it's important to stay in character, and she doesn't want to sit in a chair being haughty all evening. Fucks sake. I then suggested she go as Estella because building up boys' hopes only to crush them shouldn't be too much of a stretch. I was VERY popular.

Something from Dracula?
or possibly HG Wells but that's pushing it a touch.

Or you could go as a pirate
Treasure Island was that era I believe.
(berk, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 12:39, Reply)

It was indeed
Not many female characters in Treasure Island though

Why does she have to go as a female character?

You haven't met her
As one of Ms Foxtrot's brood she's a Giant Woman and likes to dress as girly as possible so as not to intimidate men, apparently. She does the intimidating once they've plucked up the courage to speak to her
