Get Inspired!

The time has come to start brainstorming your costumes for When in Rome Gay Bingo! Here in the LLAA offices, we've compiled some suggested viewing material from the big- and small-screen to help get your creative juices flowing.

We'll start off with a few classics, Ben Hur (1959) and Cleopatra (1963). I know there are two people out there ready to channel the extravagant styles of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton!

Next comes a more recent portrayal of ancient roman times with Russell Crowe in Gladiator (2000).

And who could leave out John Belushi's iconic role in Animal House (1978)?

From the small screen we have HBO's dramatic series 'Rome.'

And from near-by Greece comes Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.

So head to the movie store and start taking notes. You never know, it could be you collecting the costume prize next this month!
