bluesbrother Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Why not try a random theme, the colour green, badly paid jobs etc? We had a party in our place where the theme was just the letter R. (I know i shouldn't say this but the guy that came as a re***d (thought better of it) won hands down). lesser thinking people came as rambo, rocky, ronaldo & roller skaters. Olympics is topical, try that? Hope you have a good night whatever you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missymarsbar Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Go as Amy Winehouse - I did that last year and it's cheap to do. I bought the wig off ebay for £6 and wore a white vest and skinny jeans, with ballet pumps (that cost £1 off The Moor) and put fake blood on the toes. Then draw on some tatoos.....problem solved!

Scozzie Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 we had a charity shop challenge. everyone had a budget of £15 for the whole outfit - including accessories. (shoes not included) It was such a fun day then evening when we all went out dressed up. some people had stellar outfits and some looked like bag ladies. but we got a lot of attention everywhere we went.

pinklady Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I went as Marge Simpson once ..... looked great, used a piece of card to make a very high 'crown' ... then covered it with cotton wool balls and sprayed it blue, covered myself in yellow face/body paint, blue dress from charity shop, red beads. . went down a storm (hubby went as homer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxforcefive Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I did the Amy Winehouse thing at a Hen party, what a laugh. Also dressed as old women years ago, everything from charity shop was 10p (sale). We had hats, glasses (which we took the glass out of) twin-sets, gloves, hand-bags, even shoes. We looked brilliant.

em2007 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 how about just dress up and look nice? went out saturday for the first time in a long time and couldn't believe the amount of people 'dressed up' or more appropriately 'pretending to be a builder/bunny/bee/superhero whilst wearing as little clothes as possible' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
