hello! its a friend of mines 21st on saturday and shes having a fancydress party! and theres no theme! and im stuck for what to go as. i have this really wicked costume for an indian, but i want to save it for my cowboys and indians party, and i think it might be a bit cold. i dont want to go as an angle or a devil or a fairy or a school girl because there will be plenty of those there already and those are always done, but i really dont no what else to go as. one my mates going as a 20's gangster, one a disco dude, one a santas sluty helper, one a hipy, my guys going as jason... the dude with a chainsaw and a mask... i have nothing to say about that... but i really dont no what do go as! eek. anybody got any ideas..? im very open and id luv to hear some if ya got anything super cool, or even just cool

long flowing skirt, lots of scarves, a tonne of jewelery and a tambourine makes a really cool gypsy!
a french maid is a lot of fun if you want to try for a similar path to the bunny. feather duster prop is a must!
find a black dress, an old doll with its head ripped off, put your hair in plaits, dont smile all night and go as wednesday addams.

go as a peacock - with a fan of peacock feathers coming up your back (not so wide as to hinder going thru doors or generaly making your way through the crowd.
or as a succubus - I love succubi!
or how about the virgin mary
or the pope.
I like dressing up as Alex from "a Clockwork Orange" - that is an easy one, and I bet you could make a good female version of it. watch the movie a couple times before going to the party so you have a handful of his sayings on hand for various occasions. don't forget the nad-protector and the fake eyelashes on one side!

Something different would be a redneck country bumpkin...Put freckles on your face, black out some of your teeth, hair in pig tails with one braided and one not, then overalls and maybe some cowboy boots and a checkered shirt with either the shirt of overalls torn?

How about a dice? Warm black polo, black trousers - paint a box white with dots, add a couple of arm holes and a head hole - voila - cheap
Clown outfit not very different but looks good with juggling
Nun outfits are simple and fun. Keep a hip flask in a garter belt to make it more fun : )
Enjoy

for my 33 and a third (try saying that with an irish accent) birthday bash we has a jesus theme
it was a huge success. i just wore sandals & a long beige robe. there were a few marys & josephs & various other toga-clad individuals, but only about 4 jesus's. one friend of mine arrived with a 7ft cardboard crucifix strapped to his back. and we got one lunatic who arrived in a white sheet as the 'holy ghost'. very cheap and very funny.
i find with a lot of people the more effort is needed, the less effort is made (or maybe that's just my friends) the funniest ideas are usually the cheapest and sillyest

Dead Ballerina
Oh dear; this one's a bit Marilyn Manson-esque...
No, honestly, I pulled this one off, and it worked well. What you need:
· A really great little black dress
· White face paint (if you aren't naturally white enough, that is), and dark eyeliner
· Comfortable shoes that conform to your feet. (Don't do real ballet shoes; you'll be miserable. Get something like them. They're sometimes called 'China Slippers' here in the States.)
· Stockings (Preferably ones that all ready have runs in them)
· A bit of mud or dirt and some fallen leaves (which makes it a perfect costume for those autumn parties you didn't know about until half an hour before you were to arrive....oh, never mind.)
Put it all together about like you would expect: don the stockings, dress, and slippers. Add white face paint and dark eyeliner for lips, the hollow of your cheeks, and lips. If you have long hair, the classic 'ballerina' bun works well. Now - go get dirty, and be convincing about it. Take some straight pins and attach leaves to your dress, stockings and hair.
It's a bit obscure, I know, but great fun to watch people try and guess. And don't think it's just for the ladies, either. One of my male friends did beautifully with it.
Just incase you want something different!

Well, Jesus would be good, but you'd have to prepare some jokes about sandals
cause come on....he'd have to have some good jokes about sandals And I don't get the last one....

On Monday night my school is having our social, it's my last one before I change schools for my VCE, so I should go, but it has a theme of Fairy Tale characters or Movie characters... no idea what to go as, but my friends know.
One is going as Marilyn Monroe
2 are going as tarty schoolgirls (high skirt, blouse undone halfway, etc)
One's going goth *shrugs dont ask me*
and I have no idea about the others... I was thinking of cheating and going as someone from Ready To Rumble, lol.

But Hollywood is so *easy*! You could go as your favourite film star, or something themed from your favourite film. Alternatively, get an Asian-based costume and do Bollywood instead.
A quick squizz at some of the online fancy dress sites might give you a few ideas or some starting points - then it's whatever your imagine comes up with.
I've already got my Hallowe'en party costume sorted out, now it's the Christmas party weekend that needs sorting out. The theme's "All that Glitters" - I'm trying to persuade my mates that we should go as nine gold carrots but they're not falling for it...

I thoght I had my halloween costume sorted-a friend and I have been talking about going as the Avengers for a couple of years, and we were actually going to do it this year, but she decided she wanted to wear "something pretty" instead. What's wrong with a catsuit? I think Diana Rigg was very pretty!

And I do so love fancy dress parties as well!
