Yep it would be a fun way to start the evening or maybe it could be an all night thing. You'd have to plan a bit ahead though. Inform people to bring odd bits and pieces to the party or have some sitting around. As for getting out of it, I had not thought of that. It does have a zipper in the back, as long as people did not cover that up completely I should be able to get out. Of course people might consider it fun glueing me into the costume for the night. ;)
