Quick I need a fancy dress costume for tomorrow night...!!

[DarrenL]

Hi Guys

I need a few ideas for fancy dress tomorrow night. There isnt a theme.

I know I can go to a costume shop and pay £30-40 for a costume, but for one night it seems a little bit much, so do the PH massive have any cheap, ideas for a costume which will look pretty good?!

Thanks!

Daz

Go as a scarecrow. Just needs old clothes and straw sticking out of arms/legs/neck

Traditional would be father time or baby new year...

Traditional PH would be that costume. You know the one. The one posted for all "what fancy dress" topics.

Powder your whole head with rouge and fill your mouth with custard. Go as a boil.

I went to my mate's 40th last month dressed like below - the theme was 80s (i'm on the RHS, total cost of outfit was £5.65 for ET on ebay )

Shouldn't this pic be in the mugshots thread?

Nah, I put one with the beard in as I grew it back right after the party - only shaved as I don't recall Elliot in ET having a ginger beard

Paint yourself brown all over, stick a length of string up your 'bottle and glass' roll up in a ball, and go as a conker.

Along with my friend suggesting I go as a 'Homosexual Rambo', I think I will put your idea in the 'maybe' pile.

How about a model Titanic...

I was going to ebay it but you can have for the cost of materials and time which is about £60

It's a bit difficult on your own, it's built for 4 people really.

just saw the low budget - can you rope in 3 good mates (have to be good friends as it takes a lot of teamwork to get anywhere!

Myself and some colleagues attended an event earlier this year which we won due to the ingenuity we demonstrated and it was certainly a talking point with tourists etc.

Black yourself up and go as a darts player. Or swimmer.

That is genius! sadly, everyone seems to have their costume sorted already!

Someone did suggest I paint a few boxes and go as a Tetris block, but on NYE, I can imagine it would be a pain in the ar*e to move around!

Wrap yourself in newspaper and go as a paper boy.

Based on what you are likely to have lying around I would say..put on a dark suit and stick cotton wool in your cheeks

The Godfather - you also get to talk funny if you want to get in character
