Fancy Dress

theodoor [Edit] [Delete] 29 replies 20:59, 18 October '06

Anyone got any ideas for a costume? im going to a party on friday and theres no specific theme so i should be spoilt for choice but my one idea is going as a tampon.
White clothes, red hat, rope tied around one foot.

  • ...

    A tampon?

    Stealthy | 18 Oct '06, 21:07 | X
    • you could be a tampon

      and you could then have tampon earrings, necklace, and shove them in any opening possible, for a real tampon feel

  • dressing up as a 'sanitary pad'

    would be better.
    you'd have to splash your white clothes in red paint.

    • im going to a party

      as an old man. That's right.

      • Is it in Brixton Hill?

        If it is, I might know you.

  • Go as a fancy dress.

    Everyone would be sickened.

    Trumpet | 18 Oct '06, 22:53 | X
    • that

      would be the best idea ever! :D

  • I was at a party where one couple dressed as tampons

    They both had found these really big plastic tubes from the inside of a roll of carpet or something, and put arm holes in them and then made helmets from the top bits.

    And they covered them in cotton wool.

    Basically what I'm saying is you'd have to go a long way to impress me dressed as a tampon.

    :D

    • I know

      im not certain people will know what i am if i do it my way.
      Does anyone know where to get a skeleton costume? simple but effective.

      • get white material

        and black top trousers, cut out bone shapes and glue/magitape/sew them on. EASY and CHEAP

        Slicky @theodoor | 19 Oct '06, 10:40 | X
        • Actually you can do simply than that

          with white gaffer tape. Here's a couple of my mate Carl as 'The Saint' (i.e. the symbol that represents him, not the character):

          http://www.theogb.com/photos/carl.jpg
          http://www.theogb.com/photos/holy_trinity.jpg

          The head section was just a black stocking or woolly beanie hat over the face (so he could see through) and then a cardboard ring stuck round his head. Otherwise he was just wearing black clothes with white gaffer tape on them.

          • theo #1

            that idea is brilliant! im sorted.

  • just wear a fancy dress

    like a ballgown or summat. A man in a dress with full makeup on is always funny. And you'll be so self conscious that you'll have to get extra drunk to compensate

    IndieAndy_Jones | 19 Oct '06, 10:43 | X
  • Or alternatively

    get a pair of large sticky out false ears, wear a suit jacket, wear a kilt badly, get a book of self written crappy poems and read them to people in a plummy voice and take bottles of 'Duchy' ale to the party

    • go as a

      frogkeeper (sorry frogcatcher)

      creakyknees @freerangefrog | 19 Oct '06, 11:36 | X
      • errmm

        (Im desperately trying to remember the 'Ripping Yarns' episode 'across the andes by frog' with michael Palin)
        A Pith helmet....a net....a frog harness and reins (smaller version of horsey ones, to enable them to carry heavy loads)....flippers to persue your quarry underwater....a SMLE to protect your charges against frog rustlers....and just to avoid confusion a badge and certification indicating that you are indeed an official frog hunter.

        creakyknees @freerangefrog | 19 Oct '06, 11:54 | X
        • tis a shame but have the video and

          it is not as funny as I remembered it

          creakyknees @freerangefrog | 19 Oct '06, 11:58 | X
          • and better also than Prince charles

            GROSS also.

            creakyknees @freerangefrog | 19 Oct '06, 12:05 | X
            • you are absolutely right

              and Ive never seen it done before plus it would keep unwanted advances at bay, plus you would have a useful ice breaking device in the net.....see a bloke you like dont know what to say just grab his head with your net and explane you havnt got enough drones.

              • DO IT

                then change into a red top after a while
                then change into red trousers after a while

                then change back into all white.
