We heart Fancy dress!

Posted August 12th, 2010 by DIGS Admin. Filed in DIGS Student, Pinnacles

Fresher’s week is almost upon us and we are sure you are all gearing up for a week of late nights and big parties!

The Pinnacles are already planning two events not to be missed- a Welcome party on Wednesday 15th September and a bar crawl on Thursday 16th September.  The team haven’t finalised all plans yet, so if you have any suggestions or ideas for either events, send them an email on mail@digpinnacles.co.uk.

We all know how much students love fancy dress so the Pinnacles are planning some themed events throughout the year.  We are lucky enough to have a fancy dress shop opposite the Pinnacles on Broad Street called Magick.   The lovely guys at Magick have offered every one of our tenants a 10% discount on all costumes in September!!  To see what costumes they have call them on 0114 276 0482 or pop over and see them when once you are checked in.

We are sure you all have some brilliant ideas for costumes, but to get your creative juices flowing- here are some of ours:

Miss World- wear a cheap plastic crown, sash, long dress and gloves.  For a funny twist you could go as a “failed Miss World” and have mascara smudged down your cheeks!

Leftovers from tea- wrap yourself up in tinfoil… easy and cheap!

French person- most people have a stripey top in their wardrobe.  Add a neck scarf and a drawn on moustache and Voila!

Geek- all you need is one lab coat with pens in the pockets

Bin bag fashion- make a creative outfit purely out of bin bags!

To ensure you have everything you need for all the fancy dress nights that lie ahead, try to bring these simple things with you to University and you will be sure to have a stress free Fresher’s week:

School Tie
School Shirt
School Trousers or Skirt
Permanent Marker
A Selection of Face Paints
Gangster Hat/Cowboy Hat
Beach Shorts Hawaiian or Beach themed T-shirt.
Clothes you don’t mind having destroyed, ripped a bit or written on!

Whatever you choose to wear, we can’t wait to see you all at our Welcome Party in September!
