DRESS FOR THE MOVIES

You can either dress formally as if attending a Hollywood premiere and take your picture on our red carpet, or dress as your favorite movie character, be it a goonie, a hobbit, or a character from Star Wars.

Or just relax and dress for an evening at the movies (sorry, no popcorn in the theater) and let the music transport you to the movie screen in your mind.
