Any fancy dress ideas please?

[El Saxo]

I've been invited to a fancy dress party where the theme is '80's Movies', and I'm a bit stumped what costume to choose - I'm one of those people that always turns up at the party & wishes I'd chosen a different costume when I see what everyone else has! :roll:

So far I have 3 ideas:

1) Top Gun - flight suit & a bunch of sew-on patches off ebay, plus dogtags and aviator glasses.

2) Rambo - see here (http://www.joke.co.uk/showPart_large.asp?part=22881) - looks bloody ridiculous :lol:

3) Something from Back To The Future, not quite sure what this could be though... :-k

Basically I need some .Org folk to compensate for my complete lack of imagination :lol: Any other suggestions?

White overall, strap a cylinder vacuum to your back complete with hose and nozzle and "Voila"...Ghostbusters!! ;):p

[Sosha]

Spot of Miami Vice?

Edit: oops - not a movie

[Kinvig]

Go as a gorilla.

Like in Trading Places. Could be a bit embarrassing if everyone has the same idea though.....

[Jabba]

Go as Olivia Newton-John from the last scene of Grease :love:

[Sosha]

Stay clear of Starwars.....

Great idea, hadn't though of that! Now you mention it though, I'm fairly sure one mate of mine in particular will already have decided on this idea!

Go as Olivia Newton-John from the last scene of Grease :love:

Jabba, for the last time - I am not going to dress up as a woman for you! :wink:

[Sosha]

Indiana Jones?
Lethal Weapon? (folicals permitting)
Mad Max????

[El Saxo]

Jabba, you have issues mate...

It's been a long week :lol:


I know that someone said "Avoid Star Wars", but I could lend you some kit if you wanted to go as me :smt047

[kitkat]

or still making use of leg warmers - footloose

both mean you can dance on the bonnets of the cars in the car park on the way home

[El Saxo]

Can't you borrow that Starksy & Hutch car that's down the road from you?

And for god sakes, go as Hutch! 8)

(I know it's not strictly an eighties film, but what the hell!!!!!)



Or, other suggestions.

Beetlejuice. Not easy to replicate, i know.

Scarface. Blood soaked suit, nice big gun.

I reckon Indy Jones is a sure winner tho.

[Tim in Belgium]

Again not a film, but go as BA from the ATeam.

'I ain't getting on no plane fool!'

I'd love to hear the Gran Torino seller's reaction to me asking to borrow his car! :lol:

I've already been Beetlejuice at a Halloween party a couple of years ago - and you're right - it wasn't easy to replicate!

Scarface is another good idea, but I reckon Indy is looking like the one I'll go for, I've found a couple of costume hire places online with everything I'd need too :thumbsup:

[hovis]

uncle fester

[SV225]

The Terminator :smt068

[Biker Biggles]

Go as a highly decorated French soldier.Just wear a white sheet and carry a plate of cheese.:rolleyes:

[Jools'SV Now]

Go dressed as a Mexican.
Hat, moustache, ponco. easy.
The 3 amigos !:smt066

[Grinch]

You could go as Sir Jimmy Saville (http://newworldruler.blogspot.com/search?q=fancy+dress) as I did once, just follow the link to see. Though having the shell suit does also leave the option to go as David 'I think I'm Jesus' Ike.

[stewie]

How about white suit black shirt ' say hello to my little friend ' scarface or
orange jumpsuit, sack truck and mask , say hello to Hannibal Lecter :D

[Jools'SV Now]

Got an old raleigh shopper, a teddy bear and a towel?

E.T.

[Jools'SV Now]

Make a 3 slice sandwich with eggs and bacon in it.

Breakfast Club:p

Take an umbrella and wear a dylan (magic roundabout) t shirt

Rain Man

[therealvw]

How about the BOILED rabbit form Basic Instinct!?
Or, Jason, from Halloween movies

[Richie]

go as a Bond girl... to keep Jabba happy.
or wear white trousers and a white t-shirt, pour lots of tomarto ketchup over you tummy and sew in a rubber Alien... Hey prosto, John Hurt from Alien, on way home stop at a chippy and dip chips in belly sause... every ones a winner.

Just wear something nice and casual, and then pin a label on with the word GOD, on it.

Who's gonna argue with that!?
