AWW aespsg you are stealing my thunder! Haha. I've been planning to make myself a KICKASS tutu for roo and I'm going to end up with enough tulle to make some more too, so I'm going to try to sell them (to you ladies or on etsy or something). But yes, I definitely think you should wear a kickass tutu of your own.
And as for the super-short skirt issue, I wouldn't worry about it at all. I'm usually pretty modest and I don't wear super short skirts or whatever, but at roo I definitely will be. Everybody can just deal with my ass. I'll probably have bathing suit bottoms on anyway, or if I don't I'll just make sure I have cute undies on. I figure at roo if I'm wearing a skirt at all I'm doing pretty good.
Thank you both for the imput. You have definitely convinced me to buy it, first thing I'll do when I get back from class this evening. It's only $25, which I think is a fair price considering it's handmade (don't you just love etsy!), and I would probably spend about that much on a costume anyways, if not more.
And yeah, I don't think a short skirt should be a problem at roo (especially when you consider that people go around nekkid) unless you yourself are uncomfortable with it. If you feel you will be constantly checking to make sure your tush is covered, def get some bike shorts.
Oh and I don't think I've mentioned this before, but there's a clothing website www.lulus.com/ that has some good 'roo dresses and accessories. Their prices have gone up a bit since last year, but still nothing ridiculous. Most dresses are around $40. Personally, I like their sunglasses & scarves
There's some really cute jewlery on this site... if only my wallet agreed!!! Karma to you Squirrel!
Okay, so I am debuting my tie dye line! There's a lott of pics... I rounded up the roomies and made them model our stuff. ;D Sorry if the pics are kinda weird, too, we took them with Photo Booth on my Mac.
My skirt (thanks PlasticPepper!):
You can see the bottom of my matching Wilma Flintstone halter top I made out of the leftover. Sorry about the bra I wouldn't wear the skirt and top together, haha, but I think it could work with another skirt (if I stop eating so many breadsticks at work )
This was a pic my roommate took when we were trying to get both the top & the skirt in the shot. I didn't work so well but its funny & you can see how taken over our apartment is by tie dye!
Here's some roomies lookin' awesome:
And here's one of the awesome sheets we made:
Yeah, we're proud

I've been thinking about tie dying some things, but never have before... any tips? Can it make your house a mess - is there anything is should be careful about?
I have cats too, and of course they'll want to be all up in my business while I'm doing it
Yeah it was a lot of fun! The top & skirt together make me look like Pebbles, which I love Jessica's dress (2nd roommate) is the one from Target.
squirrel, your link didn't work Maybe try tinyurl? I <3 floppy hats. As far as tips, I would do it outside on the sidewalk or something, put down lots of newspaper & wear gloves because it is really messy. The tie dye actually got in my gloves somehow so my fingers still got stained.
And thanks Becca! ;D We want to use it as a blanket in Centeroo, maybe attach a Neat Sheet to it.
sorry about that! i know i saw your post and meant to comment once again on Long Islanders taking over Inforoo.
I think all of us should try to meet up on the Island at some point
Unfortunately I'm not on the island any longer, (I miss the beach soooo much!) but I always come home for a visit at some point in the summer!
That would be so fun to get together w/ all the LI/NY'ers. I'll only be here until May 20th-ish then I head down to FL until June 20th-ish lol. All us girls should def plan to meet up at roo though!

Karma to you... i bought so much from that site! ;D

thanks for the karma! thanks for the tips! Hi hecate!
Yeah, I was having trouble with the link w/it's length: Here's a picture of the hat. It's from urban outfitters. They have some other nice ones too
I'll actually be in south Florida soon too! (leaving tomorrow for Radiohead! ;D)
* I just went to Old Navy yesterday (which i hadn't been to in forever) and they also have some great 'roo stuff. It looks like they have a big sale going on the website right now as well. I got this dress for about $20: www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?cid=15292&pid=529399&scid=529399022 It's the perfect length for me and it's made out of visgosse (sp?) a really soft and lightweight rayon. I wore another dress of the same material to 'roo last year and it was extremely comfy

Oh man, that hat is awesome I'd buy that if I didn't already have roo hat!
However, I a huge, ridiculous, floppy HOT PINK hat which I love
Now I want to tye-dye, too! Everyone's things have turned out sooo cute! I tried tye-dying once in college and we ended up dying more of the carpet than our shirts I might have to round up some girl friends and try to dye some things! And keep it off the carpet this time.

I need a Roo hat :-( I'm seriously not the most adventurous when it comes to clothes and stuff, I'm usually pretty basic.. I'm just so clueless as to what everyone is going to be wearing during the day and if they change at night to another style. I was planning on going super casual during the day like shorts/tank... but I bought a bunch of dresses and I'm not sure if I should wear them during the day or just at night. All of my stuff are just solid colors and most at in the black,brown,blue,green (I tried to avoid light colors bc I can't stand seeing stains on clothes) I feel so boring compared to all the patterns and colors you all are going to be wearing am I going to regret wearing a black tank or dress during the day? Does anyone wear jeans at night, does it get that chilly at night? ahhhh guess who starting to freak out lol?!
It is just getting crazy for me b/c not only do I need to pack for Bonnaroo but I'll be in Florida for a month so I need to pack clothes for there too... totally stressed :-(

^^^ i'm the same exact way. i'm not crazy with patterns or anything. the wildest thing ive gotten is this brown dress that has a muted plaid pattern on it, and i felt awkward when i wore it out. im bringing my black dress for during the day, its a really light fabric so it wont be bad. oh and florida is getting pretty damn hot, so if you have access to a washing machine then you may as well pack some of your Roo clothes as Florida clothes and lighten the load a bit. where in florida are you headed btw?
