Even though it’s still a few months away, around here, we say it’s never too early to start thinking about the Dirt Bag Ball. March 24th, 2012 will ring in our 11th Annual DBB, and we need help with a theme. 
Almost every year, we’ve offered a theme to help with costume selection, ranging from “Feather’s, Leather and Lace” to “Cowboys and Callgirls” to “Anything Goes But Clothes”. Last year, the theme “Rockers and Rockettes” brought out a few particularly scary awesome outfits. But we can’t always take credit for these wonderful themes. In fact two of my favorites were pitched by Clare Huleen, CM ski instructor and the world’s best mom. Those of you who know my mom understand where I get it. She’s one of a kind.
This year, we’re asking you, dear readers, for suggestions. In fact, we’re making it a contest. Give us your ideas. If we choose your theme for the 2012 DBB, you will receive two free tickets to the event. That’s a pretty good deal.
Reply with your theme ideas in the comments. Be sure to give us an accurate email address (which won’t be shared publicly, only necessary to contact you if you win.)
So let’s hear it. Have a great costume you’re just dying to wear? Give us a theme to go with it, and you just might win your way into the ball. What could be more dirtbag than that?
Nice! Keep them coming. This is a great list so far.

Rubik’s Cube – everyone wears clothing in a variety of solid colors.
Ideally each article of clothing should match one of the colors
found on a Rubik’s cube (red, white, blue, yellow, green orange).
The goal is to trade articles of clothing with others until your entire outfit is one color.
