Costume ideas

[woopedazz]

Normally I am very much on top of my costuming come this time of the year, however exams and other commitments have caught me out with my week of parties almost upon me.

GD, I need your help.

Blurt out some ideas; less clothing + easier to make = the better. Anything that helps pull in the ladies gets bonus points. Apparently going as a coat hanger abortion wasn't popular last year.

So far on my week of pain I have concocted the following:

-A glow-in-the-dark zebra with bodypaint + bonds (maybe shorts)
-Concentrated Orange Jews (prison bar pjs + orange bodypaint)
-Captain Planet

That's only 3 out of a prospective many. My main failures are the following 3 themes: (Emergency), (Eternity), (Exotic), which I am pulling up blanks.

If anyone has ideas or just want to reminisce of your previous outings/spout crap feel free to help!

Costumes are hard. Well, for me anyway. My best ever effort was a hobbit Im not very tall, so it worked well. Just a loose white buttoned shit, suspenders, and plain brown woollen shorts I found at a costume shop. Looked exactly like a hobbit. Was proud.

As for ideas... I have no idea. How about... a sharpie*.


*just looked at sharpie on my desk.

Edit: How about Yogi bear? You don't even have to wear pants!

Lasdt costume party I went to, myself, my mrs and my brother and his mrs hired Ninja Turtle costumes. Was hilariously awesome

The sharpie idea is pretty tempting.

Black up, afro wig, black body paint. Huggy Bear style.​

Need help with costume ideas please GD.

Theme is "savage". Was thinking as going as a caveman, but no other backup ideas.

The thought had crossed my mind, but my mate who is hosting the party isn't really in to footy.

All the more reason

Savage is a strange theme... Know what anyone else is dressing up as?

A friend of mine is taking the piss and is dressing as Elmo. haha.

 

[woopedazz]

Any more ideas?

 

[Cruyff14]

Themed costume parties are terrible, it makes things far too restrictive.

 

[woopedazz]

You obviously haven't been to any good ones!

 

[Cruyff14]

No, I mean when there are particular themes, not costume parties in general.

 

[woopedazz]

How do you costume without a theme?

 

[Cruyff14]

Errr, dress up as whatever you want?

 

[Bunnie]

Emergency - go to salvos, get some cheap old clothes, rip and tear and splatter with red food colouring and you are an accident victim waiting for the right girl to restart your heart (awwwwww)
Eternity - make a halo/devils horns and tail - in heaven or hell for an eternity
Exotic- feathers - bonds undies, body glitter...
lots of white ballons stuck all over you and carry a towl and go as a bubble bath (invite the girls into your tub)

Savage think Conan the barbarian style... or tarzan, zombie frothing at the mouth...don't shave, studded dog collar dress in all brown make dog ears and bark at everyone - pitbull.

ALF has all the best ideas. Unfortunately I am far too skinny to ever pull off The Boss.

If I ever go to another one, the only thing I will go as is as Bruce. Absolutely no question about it.

 

[Igloo]

Go as General Bison, or Guile. Or any Street Fighter character. Except Cammy, guys can't be Cammy.

 

[Father Jack]

dress up in black with a backwards white collar. There isn't a theme invented that that wouldn't fit.

I'm a pretty boring person and have a fancy dress next week. Anything you want.
Wanted cheap-ish and something that old be used.

Have shorts, boots, socks, will buy a khaki shirt (which can be used again in "real life", thus the practicality part) and lashed out on an inflatable crocodile and a cheap blonde wig.And here we have Steve Irwin.

Budget was about 70 and fit into that easy. And the most expensive part of it can be used again as I said, in real life as a work shirt or around the garden!!!

 

[woopedazz]

I thought of an idea for "emergency"

Make one of these and then wear it around my waist (hole cut out for torso and bottomless so legs can move freely):

I'm pretty happy with that one.
