"HYPNOS is the God of Sleep, which he induces with purest opium smoked through a horn. Obviously the God of Hyppies."
RIMG, Hypnos sounds perfect for you. I can see you with a tie dyed toga.

LMD: There's a saint of insanity. Or rather, of "Mental Health". Saint Dymphna. She was Irish, if that helps. lol
Her story is very sad, if you look it up. Rather like a Grimm Faerie Tale.

That is a wonderful idea, and I think I will go with it. Now I need to find something to use that smells like opium to blow out of a horn at people.

See what happens when you realise too late that everyone is chosing the name of a god/ess...? I have friends called Artemis and Aphrodite... so I thought they'd be a good choice - but... nah!
(though I'd take Shiny Kitten on any day!!!
)
So can anyone who has studied Greek mythology more recently than me tell me if there's an appropriately crazy/constantly-singing/Antipodean/child-orientated/Kaylee-clone of a godess?
Oh and Aphrodite is the Greek deitey who paralells Mary Magdalene in mythology...
Edit: Oh - that would be right - just add insult to injury Tristan...
Has anyone put their hand up for Io... yet another of Zeus's mistresses, but also associated with Isis (as is Aphrodite)?

Io's cool. She did get turned into a cow, though. But, of course, wearing a cow costume would be hot and itchy.
Do you have friends who's actual names were Artemis and Aphrodite, or are they just nicknames?

My crazy little brain already conceived of a costume, but if you'd like to be 'Dite instead, I can bow out....

Magda, It sounds like Hell's Kitten would be willing to switch if you want. Although, I can see you as any or all of the Muses:
Calliope (Chief of the muses and muse of epic song)
Euterpe (muse of lyric song)
Clio (muse of history)
Erato (muse of erotic poetry)
Melpomene (muse of tragedy)
Polyhymnia (muse of sacred song)
Terpsichore (muse of dance)
Thalia (muse of comedy and bucolic poetry)
Urania (muse of astronomy)
You would make a great mix of Calliope, Terpsichore, and Thalia. I can see you singing, dancing, and quoting humorous poems. 
RIMG, I can't wait to see the outfit. You will be hard to miss. 
Since it will be in public, you might want to just blow bubbles at passing ppl.

Peeks head in with interest.
Mmm. I already own a bow and quiver. I just need to do some research and find a goddess that would have those things. I would bring the arrows and quiver but not the bow. Security doesn't care for compound bows AND arrows. Plus it would get too heavy after a while.
Ponders......

Artemis is already taken. How about Cupid? He carries arrows and a quiver. I think we could have a female Cupid.
