MrEvers:
I don't have any Hawaii related clothes, but I do have a Dharma Initiative Jumpsuit
Lost was recorded in Hawaii.

Would that be appropriate?

Cheetah:
Since there is no Rule Of Conduct prohibiting jumpsuits, I guess it's in order :)

The question might be, how many people will "get" this kind of in-joke. I can't answer that for you, I'm afraid :)

Drachetto:
I'll get it, I love 'Lost'! <3 Nice idea ^^

Tekumseh:
I don't like LOST - seriously - I've never watched a single episode, so that joke wouldn't work with me at all *g*

   Considering that "LOST" was supposed to have a Sci-Fi/suspense/horror theme, and isn't actually "set" in Hawaii (although it was filmed there), I wouldn't really see the point.  Mysterious, scary tropical island does not equal Polynesian/Hawaiian atmosphere.

******

   Before the final season of the show, some of the "LOST" production staff attended LOSCON - a Los Angeles-based Science Fiction convention - and threw a "Dharma Initiative" themed room party, with the appropriately labelled jumpsuits and labcoats, and mock-business signs with the corporate logo.  They had one of the larger suites on the party floor - but their decorations and refreshments were uninspiring, and the party mood was rather flat.  It was kind of a downer, actually - and of course, those attendees who were ardent "LOST" fans wanted to know what was going to happen in the upcoming season...and the production people weren't allowed to reveal anything.  Many idle con attendees cruising through the party didn't make the connection between "Dharma Initiative" and "LOST", so whatever impact that the party hosts had hoped to make on the local SciFi fannish community (remember, this is Los Angeles - "Hollywood" - so many of the "fans" were established authors, screenwriters, a producer or two, and even some actors) was...well,...lost.
