What historical figure would you go as to fancy dress party?

Question

I would go as Queen Victoria as I am short and dumpy. How about you ???

Answer 1

Queen Victoria is an excellent choice for our body types.  I suppose (since I wouldn't want to clash with you), I'd choose Mary Todd Lincoln or an older, more mature Betsy Ross.

Answer 2

Chuck Norris.

Answer 3

Cleopatra.

I like her hair.Lol.

Answer 4

I went as King Harold Bishop once. It was a cross between Harold Bishop on Neighbours and King Harold who got shot in the eye at the Battle of Hastings! (Thats where the party was!) It was a bit lame with a crown, bandage round the eye with an arrow sticking out, and Harold Bishop's tuba and a badge with his face on!

Hi Jen.

New Years Eve last year I went to a Fancy Dress Party and I dressed as Pocahontas.

She was an amazing person and went through so much in her short life.

I would go as the figure from Yahoo! Answers who keeps asking questions in the wrong category - i.e. Polls & Surveys questions in the History category. I think that would be just so much fun. How about you?

Answer 15

I would go as Jefferson Davis when he was caught by Union Forces in 1865 in a tent with his wife. HE WAS WEARING WOMENS CLOTHING! Everybody would ask me who are you supposed to be and I would say the one and only President of the Confederate States of America who just happened to be caught hiding in women's clothing Lol!

Answer 16

Ben Franklin. I could annoy everyone at the party with those stupid little sayings!

Answer 17

Hatshepsut, Heloise, or Hypatia, as all had unique roles in their societies.  Hatshepsut was a female pharaoh of Egypt whose rule was constructive and prosperous.  An interesting fact was that she wore the traditional attire of pharaohs, even using a false beard.  

Heloise became the pupil Peter Abelard, a famed theologian, and consequently had an illicit affair with him.  She was a very intelligent scholar.

Hypatia contributed to science and philosophy, who was eventually stripped and killed due to her pagan beliefs, as Rome had become Christianized by that time.

I think all would be fun to dress as any of them because their clothing would widely differ and their unconventialities make them interesting figures.
