You gotta fight. For your right.

The following is a list of proposed parties for the new apartment (which is really funny considering it doesn't actually exist yet):

1. "Mad Men" party. Boys in suits, girls in fifties office wear- ie: tight sweaters and skirts. The invitation will read "Sterling Cooper invites you to its annual staff party." Much scotch will be imbibed. Lots of smoking. Maybe some sex in a supply closet.

2. Nineties party. Lets face it. To kids born in the eighties, the nineties are OUR eighties. Dress as Cobain, Cher Horowitz, in swing dance clothing, or Latin clothing, or like a supermodel, or a raver or really anything because the 90s was pretty much a smorgasboard of excess and schizophrenic music. "Empire Records" and "Reality Bites" (which are really the best quintessential 90s culture movies EVER) will play in background.

3. 80s Hip Hop party. See below.

4. 80s Movie party. Dress as Marty McFly (with the life preserver vest) or Baby Houseman or Robocop (I guess). Or you could go with Ferris Bueller, Cameron Fry, and Sloan Peterman but I am not sure where you'd find a hot white leather jacket in this day and age.

5. Royal Tenenbaums party. The characters have such classic costumes, I say "Why the hell not?" Richie, Eli, Margot, Royal, Chaz, Ari, Uzi, Pagoda... Buckley... get creative. Points for being able to take "family style" portraits of the guests.

Why I can't think of any other ones, I'm not sure, because we've been throwing them around. This, of course, is contingent on the idea we actually GET an apartment. And friends.
