80s icon fancy dress

[Siliconslave]

I'm going to a fancy dress roller disco next weekend and the theme is 80s icon - i know, wtf?!?

Anyhows i'm struggling to come up with a workable fancy dress idea, what you got peeps? (PS I'm not blacking up and going as Mr T or MC Hammer)

 

[Deleted member 651465]

First thought was Mr T!

How about a wig and leather jacket, and go as "The Hoff"

 

[Edrof]

Adam Ant
Some sort of Bruce Dickinson, heavy metal guy
Jimmy Saville, was he 80s?

 

[Cosimo]

Go as Rambo or a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Go as Rick Astley and spend the night rickrolling people:

Siliconslave: Do you want a drink?
Partygoer: Sure. Can I get a gin and...
Siliconslave: Never gonna give you up! Never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you.




WARNING: Live action Rick-Rolling may result in you getting your head kicked in.

Has to be Don.
Easy outfit to sort out as well.

 

[Theophany]

As already posted, Don Johnson is always the one that springs to my mind so there will probably be 5-6 of them at the party

I'd try and go as somebody not everybody else would do, but who is instantly recognisable. How about Gordon Gekko?

 

[SkeeterUK]

Oh you could always go as roy chubby brown.

Go as Gary Glitter and be the life of the party
