This weekend I’m attending a Y2K-themed fashion shoot–as a photographer, of course.

So, what to bring? What would you bring?

I found my Gameboy Color but, sadly, it doesn’t power on. The power light flashes red for a fraction of a second and then nothing. But as a prop, it’ll work.

Nokia brick phone should still be working.

 

Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera cds.

 

Got a Jansport backpack you can fit the camera gear in?

Livestrong Bracelets and Jelly bracelets. I remember every one in middle school/high school wearing those. Early iPods or Zune or CD walkmans.

Trucker hats. Uber chunky skate shoes.

 

Got any old CCD sensor digital cameras laying around? 

 

Edit: I am an idiot. I read it as a generally 2000s photoshoot.

Not that it helps, but I recently found my moms old Motorola bag / car phone. I think they were on the slow decline by 2000 tho, and would make a lot less sense away from a car tho...

Clearly, a Kero-Sun kerosene heater.  You're gonna need heat after the grid goes down at midnight on New Year's Eve.

Is there a difference between a "Y2K themed party" and a "2000's Themed Party"?

To me there is a big difference.
