Hi, So I posted this in the main forum and got very little response so gonna see if get any more suggestions from this group of friendly people.

Got a Halloween fancy dress party coming up and I want to stand out with a great costume and not just look rubbish or where a generic bought one. Has anyone got any great suggestions and ideas that are relatively cheap and not too difficult as dont have much free time to make stuff, plus am pretty useless!

Any help would be appreciated!

ps. Guess part of me wants to show off that have lost some weight and want to try to catch the eye of someone though not openly, just maybe put a thought in her head.

    Nice catch, Anna! :wink:

    For serious though, hit up a thrift store and look for inspiration!

    I'm in the same boat... I can't figure out what to wear, either! I have a Halloween party tonight at work, and I work at a church, so I can't do any of the offensive things I was thinking. Heh.

    You could be a boxer.... That way you can wear skimpy-ish clothes & look tough :)

    Google "formal apology"

    If I can squeeze into my mother's prom dress I'm going to do this.

    The male equivalent would have to be nicer than a 60's prom dress, though. (Maybe a tux)

    I found a nice Wilfred costume for sale - looking for something with no mask and not a ton of makeup. I realized that if you don't watch the show, though, you would just think I was a furry or a pedophile.

    Go as Mitt Romney. Dye your hair gray at the temples, wear a button down tie and dress pants, and carry around a binder full of pictures of women. Repeatedly discuss your five point plan and interrupt your friends by saying you didn't get your two minutes.

    I googled what you told me to and I got lots of images of paperwork and Obama?

    Uh-oh, sorry! Meant "formal apology halloween costume"

    There should be images of people in formal wear with an "I'm sorry" sign worn around their necks or pinned to their clothes. It's not super popular, but enough so that there should be image results.

    That sounds complicated when you could just go as Obama and repeat the same sayings "tax the rich," "fair share," "Killed Bin Laden"

    make sure you hold your thumb and your pointer finger together and gesture

    Damn I just thought of another better thing to add to this costume. Carry around a camera, go up to women and ask to take their photo so you can add it to your binder full of women.

    Damn I:
    1) wish I was a man
    2) wish I could go out for halloween

    check the partycity.com website. There are tons of costumes on it that you could probably get an idea for a do it yourself costume.

    I've got nothing. All of my funny pop culture ideas are American. I'm going as a cowboy. The binder full of women is a great idea though!

    I'm cheap, so I would go as an "undead Jimmy Savile"...

    article-2210592-00387F4B00000258-419_634x514.jpg

    - Blonde wig with shoulder length hair,
    - Cigar,
    - Gold chain necklace, gold watch, gold ring,
    - Red round glasses
    - Red tracksuit (preferably with Savile's sawn on it),
    - Zombie make up and blood here and there...

    and win!

    Note: the great thing is that you can bring your little sister to nightclubs by holding her hand and pretend she's part of the costume.

    (last time I celebrated - ages ago - I went as a giant-undead roadkill frog)

    someone else has already shot gunned the jimmy saville idea!!

    Doesn't matter now anyway, just realised have to be at a friends wedding that day as got the dates mixed up, so no party for me and no subtle catching of someones attention, not that that would have worked anyway!!
