Absolutely, at the end of the day one corset, or glittery necklace is much like another if you think about it, it's the details that make them special and individual.
I think ideas from history, props funny situations and fab costumes often work the best.
there are too many dull acts with no story or pizazz, we are too jaded as a culture to be thrilled by the sight of a lady merely taking her kit off, especially if it's just nice undies from anne summers there's got to be something special going on, a bit of show girl!
Loads of costume designers and props makers are gagging to have a go at making something fabulous and unusual so why not team up with a designery type and see what ideas they can throw in? I'd suggest theatre design students, having been one myself I know what mad ideas they have!
