Valentine's day: The martyrdom of St. Valentinus, a martyr within the city of Rome. (The romance stuff is purely medieval legend, though.) There's your toga for the Feast of the Martyrdom of St. Valentine.

Does it say anything when I've never even seen animal house (Ok, I don't know my movies) and yet still the first thing I did when checking the new costume item was start chanting toga?
Edit: Because I don't know what movies I haven't seen.
Oh, and one more thing, IT'S NOT A TOGA! If anything, it's some one-shouldered variant of a TUNICA or perhaps some kind of Greek chiton, but certainly NOT, under any circumstances a toga, in any way, shape, or form. Bah! 3D Artists are remarkably ignorant little vermin, aren't they?

Uh... I belive the film you are referring to is "animal house"
"roadhouse" was a Swayze fight pic.

Though I guess that does kinda prove I never saw it.
This needs a new emote to go with it where the character lies on the floor and shakes his/her arms and legs in the air.

Thanks for the link, Awry.
Now can you tell us how likely it is that those of us who play characters with tails will ever be able to wear a toga without undergoing involuntary amputation?

Either cut a hole in the toga/tunic or keep your tail under wraps like other body parts.

Cupid is sometimes depicted as a youth in a toga with bow and arrow, not always as a flying cherub.
[/ QUOTE ]
Usually when he's romancing Psyche, because it would look ... odd for her to be pursued by/having relations with a flying toddler.
(Actually, I believe the young man is the original version, and later artists made him "safe" and/or part of the cherubim, much like other pagan figures were modified and assimilated.)

"As Christianity began to slowly and systematically dismantle the pagan pantheons, it frequently replaced the festivals of the pagan gods with more ecumenical celebrations. It was easier to convert the local population if they could continue to celebrate on the same days... they would just be instructed to celebrate different people and ideologies..
Lupercalia, with its lover lottery, had no place in the new Christian order. In the year 496 AD, Pope Gelasius did away with the festival of Lupercalia, citing that it was pagan and immoral. He chose Valentine as the patron saint of lovers, who would be honored at the new festival on the fourteenth of every February. The church decided to come up with its own lottery and so the feast of St. Valentine featured a lottery of Saints. One would pull the name of a saint out of a box, and for the following year, study and attempt to emulate that saint.
Confusion surrounds St Valentine's exact identity. At least three Saint Valentines are mentioned in the early martyrologies under the date of February 14th. One is described as a priest in Rome, another as a Bishop of Interamna, now Terni in Italy, and the other lived and died in Africa.
The Bishop of Interamna is most widely accepted as the basis of the modern saint. He was an early Christian martyr who lived in northern Italy in the third century and was put to death on February 14th around 270 AD by the orders of Emperor Claudius II for disobeying the ban on Christianity. However, most scholars believe Valentine of Terni and the priest Valentine of Rome were the same person. "

Now we just need a bare leg option for men, and a cape with that same pattern on the bottom edge
[/ QUOTE ]
I completely concur. It's a shame the devs seem to have an issue with giving male toons a shorts or bare leg option of any kind, especially with this toga deal. I dunno about you but I've never seen a toga over tights, pants or anything else other than bare legs.
Shorts for guys! Hell, give me briefs and bare legs for guys! I've got a broadsword scrapper that would so Conan it up like that.
