Oh, what fun!  I love the theme, because I'm sort of the opposite to a party-type, so it will be a nice challenge to think up a scene.

I'm glad there's seven weeks for the contest, because right now my table is still full of ponies, and I'm not having the ponies with a birthday cake....

My niece and nephews have to dress up with costumes for school, because it's 'carnaval' (sort of like one final party before the fasting period until Easter).
That made me think of 'costume party' as a theme, but then Mitri suggested 'party' is more broad. So you can interpret the theme any way you like  :)

Love these two, especially the baby shower - it takes me back to 21 years ago when I had gone to a fellow teacher's house after school to look at a pram she was selling and found that all the other female members of staff were there with presents for my forthcoming baby - baby showers hadn't really started here at that time  so it was a lovely and unexpected surprise  :love:

You gotta fight - for your right - to PARRRTEEYY !!!   :rock:

Sorry, a sudden temptation I couldn´t resist  :-[

I´ll try to find the time (house-move preparations going on right now)  - and hopefully the right parts - to make a kind of Beasty Boys party scene.  :)

Great scene, Birdie!

That sounds interesting  8-)

After having started a little after midnight with thinking how to create "them", it is now 4.30 am   :-[  but "they" now exist in plastic shape!  ;D
(having a "tahra"-mood right now  :P )

Is there a deadline for this contest?
I´m still thinking about how to put together a scene; just the 3 main characters with a minor background, or a whole party in a kind of appartment-environment like in the videoclip ... As I mostly do historical themes I might not have sufficent parts to set up a decent backgroud of a modern flat though :wall: ... I´ll also need good weather to take pics, where I am the interior-lighting is not sufficient.

And can I enter more then one picture (of different set-ups with my B-Boys)?

It's all in bold print in the first post. ;) Up to 2 pics, and the 22nd is the deadline.

Of course, how stupid of me! :doh:
Then I still have a few days to think up the scene and take pics, oooff!

BEASTY BOYS - "Fight for your right to party!!"   :rock:

(http://i.imgur.com/U43MVxh.jpg)

As not everyone might be familiar with the "Beasty Boys" and this song;

1) Link to the original videoclip from the 1980s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBShN8qT4lk

2) And from a few years ago, "Fight for your right - revisited"  aka " Make some noise"...
This videoclip was recorded with famous actors instead of the "Beasty Boys" themselves  :lol:
a) short version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdgLMslbDuY
b) full lenght version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evA-R9OS-Vo

I have a 2nd, completely different but much bigger picture of the party in the appartment with about 15-20 klickies involved... but if I resize it to post here, it gets ridiculously small.
Can one of the moderators help me out with it? I´m totally unfamiliar with using hosting platforms, I only post in PCC and Facebook.
Could I send the 2nd picture to a moderator so he/she can post it for me?  ???
