Fancy Dress - Suggestions?

The Funktopus · 7 Jul 2011 at 08:34

Gentlemen,

As we rapidly approach the end of our 1st college phase, the minions have decided that next Wednesday, we'll have a fancy dress night out to celebrate. Whereupon I stumble across a dilemma. I haven't the foggiest idea what to go as, as there's no theme which usually helps me narrow it down greatly. Therefore, could anyone suggest a cracking costume?

The only real prospect I've stumbled across so far is this Jesus costume, which to be frank, I fear's going to earn me a special place in hell for engaging in debauchery and hedonism dressed as the Messiah.

Cheers, Mike

Pimp.

A certain bear? Perhaps you could go as Thorpy (plenty of inspiration in the RL pics thread). Failing all that, I'd go as Mike Watts from Spaced and stand behind the door all evening as 'security'.

Go as Where's Wally and punch everyone that makes a Where's Wally reference.

Last fancy dress thing I did was a ninja. Not very creative but it was fun lurking in the shadows.

John McEnroe?

Cheap but topical.

Malcolm Reynolds, would be mega geeky, but awesome

Last fancy dress I did I bought a batman suit, lets face it everyone loves a superhero

If i got invited to a fancy dress and had a bit of cash to hire myself a costume i'd definitely go as the humping rabbits off of Trigger Happy TV. Be a lot better if you have someone else to go with in another rabbit costume

Well, I've settled on a Mexcian Bandido outfit, complete with eye bleedingly gaudy poncho, sombrero, 'tash and jumbo faux cigar, to that lot I'll add a revolver I'll buy separately from a toy shop or something, then spend the night talking in a stereotyped Mexican accent.

Should be a good night, cheers for the suggestions though guys. The gorilla with the guy in the cage is awesome, but a bit pricey at £103. Perhaps when I'm qualified and earning though....

This one is better than the gorilla
