There are hundreds of theories of what will happen on December 21 2012.

Here is an interesting one. When all the planets are lined up, they will be the closest to the center of our galaxy that they have ever been.

Theoretically, the center of our galaxy is a big black hole. So our little blue planet and all the other planets in our solar system could get sucked into this huge black hole and poof! Bye, bye!

I tend not to worry about things Icannot control, like the universe. But I do wonder; what does one wear to an event horizon?

Important question, Poppi! We'll have to consider... (My first thought: something shocking!!)

I was thinking maybe my lovely black beaded silk dress from India, it looks very pretty like stars. If this does happen we'll all be stardust! how pretty!

"Event horizon" - love it! At the risk of becoming monotonous, I'd hafta say this is another one for the existentialists, n'cest-ce pas?

It's that last moment of existence before you get sucked into the black hole, Matt, kind of like a whirlpool. So are you dressing for style like the millionaires that went down on the Titanic or are you dressing for comfort? I picture Julie in a pink sari with saffron flowers chanting us into the next level of being!

Funny, Poppi!! Lovely stardust, us all!! (And the chanting would be a good way to start the journey, I'm sure!!)

Why, black of course :)

I say, we all go out "nekked!"

I like Cathy's idea! But modesty would require that I wrap myself in the fabric of space and time.

Love the question. Perhaps we should all be nude. If the world doesn't end, the shock of our neighbor's fanny's may take us out. _r

Naked is a state of mind!

Poppi Iceland

April 07, 2010 01:44 PM

I believe naked is ugly if you saw me.
I believe I can wear a cloak with pads.
Woman can wear Dr. Scholl Spud pads.
Even chubby ballet MDs wear shoe pads.
There should be laws farmers cuss corsets.
huh?
wear chastity belts?
behave and water beds.
Plant beds in greenhouse.
okay.
Poppi.

Art will you wear a Goose Day costume to the end of the world if I bring the mead and the kale and potato soup with carrots and some beef. One needs a good meal before traveling across the universe.

I have a collection of Hawaiian shirts. I think the Magnum one would look great for such a grand event!

Me. I going out as I came in, with a bottle of Guiness in one hand a BLT with extra extra B in the other, with a sign taped over my johnson "Last one in can suck it Bitches!!"

I'm not sure what, but I think it must be done with style!

I'm not sure what everyone else will be wearing, but I'll be wearing a towel!!! :D

I'm wearing something that will reflect the Hawking radiation as we approach the horizon. If we're going to be crushed by a singularity or ripped apart by the gravity first, I say we go out with pizazz.

I plan to be having dinner somewhere near the Parthenon. Something Greek. I will wear a Roman toga, if they let me.

I think I'll wear a look of disbelief. Or awe. Or wistful wishing that I was going out in a vat of hot fudge.

A good bra.
Great shoes.
Attractive accessories.

I don't think I'll get too dolled-up for this if the end result is just swirling around in a big black hole...some nice comfortable jeans and a sweater (and, of course, clean underwear...My mother would say, "You never know if you're going to end up in the Emergency Room!") So off to that great ER in the sky, I guess!

I don't think the cape will do much for me in this event. It's gotten a little moth-eaten, anyway. Maybe my Starry Starry Night Game T-shirt, if I can find it in time. (r)

Wow I never heard this take on 2012. What a predicament ...As for the
attire for an event horizon...I think dress down friday is appropriate attire for me.
