  • I went to an album covers

    party at new year, that was a really good theme. I went as Andrew WK (all in white, lots of smeared fake blood, wig made out of wool) and Party'd Hard.

    Dressing as the cover of an iconic album sleeve is trickier than you'd think..but it was worth it for the friends who came as a Dexy's Midnight Runners album!

    • Did anyone do Nevermind?

      • A friend threatened to

        But thankfully came as Master Of Puppets in the end, which was pretty ace (little cut out gravestones hanging from string on his fingers).

        My ex girlfriend went as the banana on the front of The Velvet Underground & Nico. She made it out of foam and sprayed it with paint, and cut out a hole in the top for her head! It was decent.

  • i love zombie themes partys

    not exactly interesting though.

    • zombie parties ftw!

      how can a party where you're dressed like the undead, covered in blood, eating fake brains be uninteresting!?

      "will eat brains for beer"

      perhaps a general gorefest and horror themed party?

  • ...

    I haven't been to many, just really a pirate one and an 80's one, I preferred the 80's one :)

      i have a similar haircut to the black wigs you can buy and i was thinkin of geting everyone to wear a wig and a plain white t shirt

  • We do it the other way around.

    6 different colours each and you've got to be in one colour by the end, thus completing the cube.

    • an Icons party...

      meaning:
      iconic people from the past. The obvious ones:
      Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Charlie Chaplin, Frank Sinatra, Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick...
      this would be my ideal party to attend :)

        this could work

    • Matt Groening party

      Simpons/Futurama fun.

      or, you could add South Park/Family Guy/King of the Hill etc and have a "grown-up cartoons" party, but that sounds lame

      brusma | 17 Feb '08, 19:26 | X
      • I would

        totally go as Kenny if someone had one of those parties.

        hedgehog @brusma | 17 Feb '08, 19:30 | X
      • culturaly diverse fancy dress..

        pretty self explanatory... we ended up with sheiks, trailor parkers, a scotsman.. you can imagine the rest

    • famous birthday costume party

      have to dress as a famous person you share a birthday with. you get some great and funny costumes you would never get at a free-for-all costume party.

      alley | 17 Feb '08, 19:31 | X
      • hmm

        I could dress up as Danni Minogue or Bela Lugozi, decisions decisions.

        • donny osmond ftw

          (not really, i'd be st. martin or imogen heap)

      • i could dress up as

        mickey mouse.

      • i could dress as

        Arthur Lowe! Captain Mainwaring!

    • .

      i might get punch just so it can be spiked, but people would only enjoy it

    • Rise of the machines-style party

      everyone comes as a different robot they think could potentially enslave all mankind and monitor our thoughts. Bonus points if it is done without irony.

          • Today I saw some people from

            the real-life roleplaying society walking around outside my halls dressed up in all their fake armour and shields, and my first thought was, completely sarcasm-free "wow, they look really cool."

            My second thought was: "I wish I had some sci-fi gear I could dress up in so that I could go up to them pretending there had been a glitch in my time machine's matrix."

            My third thought was: "thoughts like this are why you don't have a girlfriend," though.

          • Indoor beach parties are fun

            if you don't mind cleaning up a few tonnes of builders sand in the morning.

            • .

              i was at one recently actually, a girl got thrown into a paddleing pool and the place was destroyed, not sure how they got on the morning after sure it was a mess.....would like to do it but i am sure they would be annoyed with me for having one

          • Mime party

            No one's allowed to talk, you must express yourself through the medium of mime.
