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!Www@QuestionHome@Com

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!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

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!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hey I would go as Edgar Allen Poe then when I got drunk (exceedingly fast as always) and passed out on the floor people would think it was part of my act :) queen Vic is a good person to go as though :) xWww@QuestionHome@Com

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!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

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!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
