Last minute fancy dress help

[Kieran76]

Got a friends birthday tonight and I have forgotten to sort out a costume. I don't normally go for fancy dress but it's her 40th so I should make some effort. The theme is the 1980's, I want something that is easy to get hold of, doesn't make me look too much of a dick and is comfy. All I have thought of so far is get a cheap black suit from a charity shop, a large toy gun and throw corn flour on myself so I look like Tony frm Scarface. Any ideas.

In my experience, it's all or nothing with fancy dress, so go for broke!

eBay always has loads of stuff, but you've left it a bit late, so find a local fancy dress hire shop and see what they've got.

It's a weird situation where the more effort you make, the less of a tit you feel! (unless they lied and only told you to dress up...)

White T-shirt. Jump suit. Aviator knock-offs. Gold chain. Boots.

Simple and you definitely won't look like a dick - if anything you'll be fighting the ladies (and gents) off.

That is not too far off my current choice!

White vest, blue jeans, hair slicked back, big moustache. I present to you Freddie Mercury.

One party, I got a white disposable decorating coveralls from Wickes and a "professor" bald wig. My wife got an orange body warmer and a skateboard.

We went as Doc Emmett Brown and Marty McFly!

The last fancy dress I wore was a giant sanitary towel (which I posted about on here last year), I've wore it to the same event 2 years running now and this year won best fancy dress, prize was a goody bag containing a t shirt, some bandanas, and a pair of jeans that i discovered retail for ?300, they're too big though so have just been sat in my drawer, my next effort will be a lot simpler, suit, latex horse mask, I've done the outrageous thing now.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

Will post pic when I get in. Very hungover, I did look ace, forgot to take my contact lenses out when I went to bed. Be warned though the photo might challenge your sexuality.

I was trying to remember who dressed as a giant tampon!

The costume and effort that went into it was a brilliant (if slightly disturbing) story!

Here I am in all my glory. Had a top night, drinking with a 'tache is quite hard.
