Hiya

We have been invited to a fancy dress party. Its come round all of a sudden and its next Saturday 
Dress code is Movie Star/ Character.
Now funds are very scarce so need to improvise but havent a clue what to go as. Neither has Paul.
Joe is going as Buzz Lightyear as he already has the costume from a previous party.
So can anyone help please?

I'm not a slim person so please be kind

Does it have to be a movie star or can it be TV?

If Paul has a dinner jacket / bow tie and you have an evening dress then James Bond and any of his female sidekicks....

Would the leads out of hairspray be ok, wouldnt take too much bit of back combing n a dress from a chaz shop am sure it could be done on a shoestring.
will keep thinking for ya

How about Thelma and Louise (does your DH do drag?    )

sorry, am trying to think of something sensible - was going to suggest Marilyn Monroe - just need a good bra, blond wig and something low cut....

(PS Just asked DH for ideas and he said Shrek and Mrs Shrek so I am off to      very hard for being cheeky!)

Will have a think about it overnight and try to come up with some more sensible suggestions

You could do Miss Piggy and Kermit....  The downside is you have to wear a piggy nose and blond wig with your posh dress and pearls, but the plus side is you get to see DH in green tights and a bow tie!!!   

Sorry, I'll go to bed now as I'm not being very sensible am I?

So could I      PS hope you weren't offended by that - I was carried away by the thought of men in green tights when I was typing it      But whilst we are on the subject - how about maid Marion and Robin Hood (or just a man in tights      )

Right, really am off now as tiredness and stupidity obviously reign in my house

No offence taken fluffs.

Just a thought not really looking to go as a pair so individual ideas may be best.

What about trying freecycle or your local oxfam to see if they have any free/cheap clothes you could adapt.

 

[Debs]

Get a grey shader from the chemist, a tiara from clares (£2.50), put some curlers in and you could go as the Queen (as in helen mirram film).  Id do that just to wear the tiara 

Get Jax round to face paint paul as spiderman and there you go

One of you could go as M from James Bond,
wear a white jacket, few pens in the top pocket, and you could make a badge with
"M" on it

or get DH to wear a suit, go buy a gun from the pound shop, then go to a florist
and beg, or pay a couple of pounds for them to spray the gun gold

then he could be the Man with the golden gun !

just some ideas we did from James bond night

I went in a Sari, hides all bumps, Mark had a James bond mask, but wore a dinner suit
friends went as "M" and man with golden gun


Argos do sell some costumes, but money  unless you've got a money tree in garden

will sit and think who else you could go as, from our Hollywood/Bollywood night


you could borrow a peak cap from someone, then black a bit of dh face and he could be the sweep from Mary poppins, what was his name 

 

[Maria Christina]

Dick van dike, but what was his character 

He could wear a suit and go as a Man from UNCLE, and pretend to have a special pen, watch and a throw away camera that was spy stuff

note the technical terms, spy stuff 

 

[♥emmyloupink♥]

how about lou and andy from little briton easy to do !!

 

[Maria Christina]

you could go as a gypsy, with a frilly skirt, and semi off the shoulder top

gypsy's have been in loads of films

 

[Maria Christina]

Micheal Caine, with the thick glasses and suit, in that film called ermmmmmmm
what was it
a blokes name

but easy to do
